Freedom is so close we can almost taste it. While some people may want to cautiously dip their toes in, we know there are others chomping at the bit to come together, have fun together and even - dare we say it - dance together.
Over the years we have worked with some incredible venues and cultural event/ festival curators to create the kind of unique hospitality experiences that are talked about for years to come. Whether it’s an all-expenses-paid blowout or a more frugal budget given the year we’ve had, no ask - or task - is too big or small for us at INSYNC. We can create bespoke packages for small groups through to whole companies.
With that in mind, we’ve done a roundup of the top events and experiences (all Covid-safe) we can help curate so that you and your friends and colleagues can have the best summer yet.
