In May 2026, Venuesin had the privilege of serving as the production partner for Game Changers Forum V, one of the most exclusive and influential leadership and networking events in Portugal, held at Cidadela de Cascais, one of the country’s most iconic historic venues, managed by the Pestana Group.

The Game Changers Forum is a global leaders community that gathers to share ideas and discuss how to create a positive impact on society through education, inspiration and networking. In its fifth edition, the event brought together over 500 Game Changers, featured more than 50 high-profile speakers and hosted 12 thematic roundtables, in an afternoon and evening that culminated in a cocktail reception and gala dinner. The programme featured top figures from Portugal’s business and institutional landscape, including leaders from organisations such as EDP, Galp, Corticeira Amorim, BA Glass, Delta Cafés, VdA, NOVA SBE, Siemens and Grupo Paulo Duarte, as well as senior government figures from the current Portuguese Government, cementing this forum as one of the most unmissable leadership gatherings in the country.

Venuesin took on full 360º production of the event, with complete responsibility across all operational, creative and communications dimensions. Venue selection and management ensured the Cidadela de Cascais was used to its full historic and aesthetic potential, creating a unique and distinguished backdrop for the forum. The audiovisual setup delivered a technically excellent experience throughout the programme, with projection, sound and lighting designed for keynote sessions, roundtables and the gala. Catering was crafted to match the prestige of the event, with a cocktail and dinner service befitting the calibre of guests in attendance. Furniture and decoration were carefully curated to create a sophisticated atmosphere consistent with the forum’s identity, while graphic production ensured visual consistency across all event materials and formats.

The hostess team and accreditation process provided an organised and professional welcome for over 500 participants. Photography and video coverage captured the most defining moments of the forum for archiving and future communications. Real-time social media management amplified the reach and impact of the event during and after it took place. Sponsor brand activation was integrated strategically throughout the venue and programme, and sponsor management ensured a structured and value-driven relationship with all partners involved. The full logistics operation, with the inherent complexity of an event of this scale and prestige, was coordinated by Venuesin from start to finish.

Game Changers Forum V is a benchmark example of Venuesin’s ability to produce high-profile corporate events, where operational excellence, creativity and multi-stakeholder management come together in a final result of the highest standard.
