The Big 'O'...
…that being ‘Olympic’ and, of course, ‘Opportunity’! In August 2012, London will host the Olympic Games, in what is eagerly anticipated as a unique and unforgettable sporting experience.
In 2008 China held, arguably, one of the best Olympic tournaments yet. Undeniably, it wasn't just within the sporting arena that China claimed gold. The Olympics showcased China as a global business player.
The Olympics is THE business opportunity for 2012. Businesses working with, in and from China can leverage the fantastic opportunity to demonstrate to their clients, partners and teams that they are a leading player.
UpStage is working to bring this vision to life. Check out some of our ideas below and contact us to find out how we can do this for you.
On your marks...
Hospitality this is not. A unique, inspired and winning business programme for clients, partners and teams this is.
Get set...
Paralleling the specific London Olympic themes – high performance, innovation and sustainability and global synergy - we will be offering bespoke live communication solutions to profile and develop business between the UK and China.
High performance
The Olympics is a breeding programme for high performance. It goes on to reward and recognise this. Business should and could do the same.
The Package
High performance – high time and high place! In a unique reward and recognition programme, we can offer you the chance to host an inspired awards programme for your key clients. Hosted within one of the most iconic (and highest) buildings in Europe – the Shard – by an iconic Olympic personality, such as, Matthew Pinsent, Victoria Pendleton, Ma Lin or Huo Liang. We will provide you and your clients with an evening of inspired reward and recognition.
Or, why not let us take your clients up to Leeds, home to the China team, and have the boss himself, Sebastian Coe, take you on a journey through his former training routes; experiencing the road to his record-breaking career, followed by a tour of the Team China camp.

Innovation & Sustainability
The London Olympics are heavily focused on sustainability. China is determined to showcase itself as a sustainable, responsible and innovative nation. Business needs to make the same stand.
The Package
Offering your clients a day in London, they will tour the city using their state of the art radio frequency information technology bracelets. Tapping into interactive points throughout the day, your clients will see and experience the best of the most creative and innovative city in the world. Guests would make their last stop of the day at the Olympic stadium and watch the evening's games or even one of the main ceremonies.
Or, hosted at 7 More London – the UK's most environmentally friendly building and the world's third. Our speaker, the brains behind the Eden project, Mr Tim Smit, could chair and facilitate a seminar looking at how the UK & China can work together to be a more innovative and sustainable society.

Global synergy
The Olympics unites the nations of the world. Never has there been a better opportunity to unite the global business network. For many large organisations, global connectivity and synergy is integral to its development. This might be the first opportunity you have had to bring your global team or network of clients together.
The package
A select group of global representatives are hosted for dinner on a yacht on the Thames. Not any yacht, but Dame Ellen MacArthur's yacht, and hosted by the Dame herself. While she regales you with tales of worldly travels and determination, guests can enjoy an unforgettable view from the Thames over the Stadium.
Or, creating your own Olympic team, a select group could be taken on a tour of the city using the Boris bikes guided by Boris himself or even Olympic cyclist, Chris Hoy. Cycle your way through London and then to the Stadium itself, and treat the team to an evening of live sporting action!
