I2G4Greatness: Intogreat celebrates their 4th Anniversary!
28 July 2022
A night to remember! One of glamour, fun and new friendships. That’s how Intogreat celebrated their 4th anniversary on 15 July 2022, at The Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan in Quezon City, Metro Manila Philippines.
After two years of strict pandemic protocols, Intogreat was ready to celebrate again, and this time it was their anniversary in a top-notch venue, The Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan, where clients, executive directors, management, team leaders and staff got together for the party.
At exactly five in the afternoon, the registration opened for the early birds. While waiting for the event to begin officially, the guests and staff managed to start the fun inside the venue with a few drinks. Many Australian clients attended the event and got to meet their offshore staff in person for the first time, and they were happy to acknowledge the effort and dedication involved in helping their businesses to grow.
After an hour and a half, the event was formally started with the Doxology song, led by Tine and DJ from the Operations team. It was a heartfelt moment as everyone was grateful to be present at the event after years of separation because of covid and thankful for the good things that came out of the pandemic.
The event was hosted by the stunning Sarah and Anne, and before the opening remarks, the hostesses introduced entertaining numbers from Harvey and the TGG band who displayed their vocal prowess and wowed the audience with their amazing performance.
Adam Conrad, Intogreat CEO, made the opening remarks, welcoming all the staff and guests, especially clients such as The Gild Group, Verve, Rice Paper and Scissors, AB Phillips, Insurance House and special visitor from Australia .
