This blog will take you behind the scenes of TAQA's "Memories of Ramadan” event, showcase how Fekra Events turned ideas into memorable moments, and provide actionable insights for hosting successful corporate gatherings.
Setting the Stage for TAQA's Ramadan Gathering
Fekra Events partnered with TAQA to curate an enriching Ramadan Gathering that would bring together industry leaders, top management, and professionals from the corporate, oil, and gas sectors. The event wasn’t just a corporate gathering—it was a celebration of the holy month and its traditions from around the world.
Titled “Memories of Ramadan,” the event highlighted the spirit of togetherness while reflecting the cultural identity of Ramadan, blending it seamlessly with TAQA’s brand values. For corporates like TAQA, events like these are not just about socializing—they're about inspiring unity, strengthening professional relationships, and building a profound connection with their stakeholders.
At the heart of it all was Fekra Events’ commitment to ensuring every detail resonated with authenticity, creativity, and cultural integrity.
The Art of Event Planning
Behind every extraordinary event is thoughtful and meticulous planning. At Fekra Events, we leave no stone unturned, and the Ramadan Gathering for TAQA was no exception.
Venue and Theme Selection
The Grand Hyatt Event Hall was chosen for its grandeur and adaptability to large-scale themed events. Transforming the venue into a magical Ramadan-inspired space was no small feat. The theme “Ramadan Around the World” was developed to showcase how this holy month is celebrated across various cultures.
The creative core of the event spotlighted a captivating chamber titled "Memories of Ramadan." Attendees were welcomed into this enchanting space with traditional Saudi music melodies of Oud and Kanoon, offering a sensory feast that immediately transported them into Ramadan’s serene and joyous ambiance.
Incorporating Cultural Elements
One of the highlights was integrating authentic cultural elements into the event. The aroma of freshly prepared tamarind juice—lovingly crafted by skilled artisans—wafted through the air, invoking memories of Istanbul’s bustling Ramadan evenings. Each corner pulsed with the essence of Ramadan traditions, creating an atmosphere that transcended geographical and cultural borders.
Fekra Events worked closely with the TAQA team to ensure not only a visually striking event but one that resonated emotionally with its attendees.
