Akord and Poklad,
Two Places with Infinite Possibilities
Let’s join Darina Daňková, the managing director of AKORD & POKLAD, and take a closer look and
let ourselves be guided through a few of their significant events.
The Patriots
Over the past few years the MS Region
Patriots have met 9 times in Akord. In
2022 they decided to try out the new
premises of Poklad. All of the spaces came
alive with interesting personalities, eager
visitors, and endless flavors as part of
a food festival. So many inspiring thoughts
and ideas in one place! But before the first
visitor arrived, there were countless
meetings between the organisers and
our implementation team. The layout
of the various activities, the technical
arrangements in all areas, the positioning
of the stands in the ballroom... It’s always
a challenge the first time. The reward
was the enthusiasm of the guests and the
booking of the date for 2023.
HRko
The largest event in the HR industry in
the Czech Republic filled all the rooms
in Poklad for the first time. The original
2 stages have grown to 6 and the program
was spiced up with interesting HR
rooms. The client paid attention to every
detail- the spaces were measured, the
discussions were held with suitable
lighting, the location of each counter
and stand, navigation in the building, and
parking. In addition, the preparation was
complicated by a theatre performance
taking place the day before the event,
so the stage in the theatre hall had to be
rebuilt during the night. The success of
the event is evidenced by the booking
of the next date.
SchooLink
The SchooLink conference is organised by
the Prague House of Foreign Services. The
modern and diverse premises of Poklad
impressed the organisers on their first visit.
One of the participants of the two days of
lectures and workshops said that she felt
like she was at a foreign conference - that
was a big compliment for us.
Japanese Days
Visitors to the Japanese Days, held for
the first time in Akord, explored Japanese
culture with all their senses: concerts,
theatres, martial arts presentations,
workshops,
lectures
and
dance
performances took place. There were
many Japanese specialities to taste. It was
interesting to run into geishas, samurais,
Japanese artists and other personalities in
the corridors. Our technicians had to be
on full alert at all times. On stage, different
genres changed in quick succession: the
piano replaced the mats, archery targets
were complemented by protective nets,
sabre fights followed the rear projection,
and bamboo grids filled with water and
flew through the air.
Balls
Akord is traditionally associated with
dancing and entertainment. Before
covid, there were 23 balls per season!
The Ostrava-South district will celebrate
it’s 30th representative ball here in 2023. It
is great that Akord is “inflatable”. If tickets
sell out in one hall, we can offer more and
more rooms... up to 900 people can fit in
Akord in one evening- proms,corporate
balls and discos. It’s not uncommon
to have two different balls going on at
the same time. And, of course, dance
classes by Zdeněk Chlopčík, who said,
“Akord is actually our second home.”
This is just a tiny fraction of what happens
at Akord and Poklad. Check it out at www.
akord-poklad.cz. We look forward to
seeing you there.
