"Events are the same today as they were 2000 years ago"

Raimond Torrents in The Desmurphybrillador: From the Roman Coliseum to the events of the future


What do the Barcelona Olympics, experiential marketing and Ancient Rome have in common? Everything.


In this episode of El Desmurphybrilador , we talk to Raimond Torrents , one of the biggest names in the events industry. From his time at the Olympic ceremonies in Barcelona 92 to his current work as a researcher and disseminator at the Event Management Institute , Raimond gives us a masterclass on the sector.


Corporate events, sustainability and the future of the sector



🎙️ In this episode we talk about:


Why haven't events changed in 2000 years? (and why the essence is the same in Rome, in a stadium or at a tech congress)

The Barcelona 92 Olympics from within: budget, challenges and the madness of organizing a world event

The agency dilemma: small vs. big, and why some events need artisans, not factories

Sustainability in events : fashion or necessity? How to avoid greenwashing?

How to evaluate the real success of an event and stop depending on satisfaction surveys

Artificial intelligence and events : will a robot approve our proposals?


📖 We also discuss his book "Así habla las paredes" (This is how the walls speak) , where he explores the psychology of events and how each space conditions the attendee's experience.
