bioMérieux, a global leader in in vitro diagnostics with a significant presence here in Salt Lake City, brought us in to produce their employee summer company party. The goal was simple and meaningful: give their team a genuinely great day. Our job was to make the space feel special, fun, and worth celebrating.
A company party might seem like a line item. In reality, it's one of the highest-return investments a company can make in its culture.
Research consistently shows that employees who feel valued and connected to their colleagues are more engaged, more productive, and more likely to stay. A well-executed company event builds the kind of team cohesion that no onboarding process or all-hands meeting can replicate.
The best company events don't just celebrate the team. They reinforce the message that leadership sees its people as human beings worth investing in.
When bioMérieux brought us in, we approached the event the same way we approach every project: think through every detail so the client doesn't have to.
Furniture and Layout
We provided tables, chairs, and umbrellas to create a comfortable, inviting outdoor environment where employees could relax, eat, and socialize. The setup was designed to encourage gathering, shaded seating areas that felt casual and welcoming rather than stiff and formal.
Games and Activities
A great company party gives people something to do together. We curated a range of our own games including a giant chess board, corn hole, a custom-made mini golf course and more, designed to get people engaged with each other across teams and departments
Custom Floral Centerpieces
Our floral team created and delivered custom floral centerpieces and a large floral arrangement that added color, warmth and intentionality to the space.
What bioMérieux's team walked into was more than a party; it was a fully realized environment designed around their enjoyment. From the shaded seating to the custom mini golf course to the floral arrangements on every table, every element was there for a reason: to make employees feel celebrated.
This is what Modern Expo & Events can do for corporate and private events, and it's a capability we're proud to offer alongside our trade show work. Whether you're a company of 50 or 5,000, whether you need a rooftop cocktail reception or a full outdoor summer party with custom-built activities, our team brings the same level of care and execution that we have for the past several decades.
Your employees show up for your company every day. A great event is one meaningful way to show up for them.
