# [Episode 5: Rome versus Romania – we’re going hybrid!](https://iceblog.ice-hub.biz/blog/goinglive5)

For those just joining us in the wonderful world of Foster Fischer and Simmonds LLP events, multi-tasking isn’t just juggling demands, it’s toggling between WhatsApp groups to keep up with the ever-increasing demands. If you’ve missed their earlier escapades, join the full team from the start in [Episode 1: Concrete, carpets and creativity](https://iceblog.ice-hub.biz/blog/goinglive1?utm_campaign=Increase%2520brand%2520awareness%2520of%2520ICEAWARDS%2520&%2520Conference%2520UK%2520&%2520Germany&utm_content=229188965&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin&hss_channel=lcp-10079414). It’s problem solving on steroids as Emma leads the in-house events team over, under, round and through anything in their path on the final push to ‘go live’ for the Annual New Partner Celebration in Rome.

 

The palm trees are finally on the move, the wayward delegates are being catered for, the car park gets carpeted (twice) and Grace and Dainty are having a ball. But is the ever-helpful Maverick who everyone thinks he is? 

 

### **Going live in** **…..** **….4 days, 3 hours and 56 mins**

 

 

You’ll have stiff competition from Emma and team if you’re entering the next ICEAWARDS for Best Hybrid Event...

Stay tuned for episode 6
