Hilton Sydney and Encore unveil groundbreaking culinary and event innovations at spectacular showcase
Sydney, NSW — 5 July, 2024 — Hilton Sydney in partnership with Encore, has launched an extraordinary new era in event excellence with their latest showcase, featuring a revolutionary approach to their culinary offering and industry-leading event services. This dynamic event enveloped guests in cutting-edge technology and innovative service offerings, setting a new standard for memorable experiences at Hilton Sydney.
The event was a feast for the senses, captivating media, stakeholders and buyers with seven specialty food stations, including caviar and Peking duck, interactive food displays, premium Champagnes, wines, cocktails, and sakes from around the world. Attendees were also treated to a stellar lineup of live entertainment, from Japanese drummers and an interactive tuna cutting ceremony by masters Ishii San and Ryu Toru to performances by a string duo, flutist and bands Bermuda Social and Larger than Lions.
Under the visionary direction of Executive Chef Hamish Neale, Hilton Sydney unveiled a bold, flexible, and agile culinary concept for events. This new approach is designed to be as expansive and dramatic as budgets allow, celebrating global influences and unrestricted creativity.
“Event organisers place so much time, money and investment into organising quality, bespoke events only to be faced with generic food packages that can often be restrictive or uninspired and this is absolutely not the case at Hilton Sydney” Neale explained.
“We are dedicated to ensuring that no matter where you dine in our hotel you will be experiencing an unforgettable culinary experience.”
Encore’s collaboration with Hilton Sydney also introduced groundbreaking production innovations at the showcase.
New creative technologies included Flown LED Banners, Ayrton Rivale Profiles, Astera Titan Tubes, Projection Mapping, Prolights Diamondbacks, and Animated Holding Graphics. These advanced tools enable stunning visual effects, interactive pathways, and bespoke content tailored to each event’s vision.
