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.”
