Alcohol-Free Corporate Party — A New Team Trend

Alcohol-Free Corporate Party — A New Team Trend

In December 2025, we organized a highly effective, stylish, and completely alcohol-free corporate evening right in our client’s office. How did we manage to do it? Thanks to the good old KVN! It might sound ordinary, if the final result hadn’t turned out to be so original! There were plenty of benefits: during the preparation process, all six teams became much closer and had the opportunity to sharpen their creative skills. Over 20 days of rehearsals, they learned to think creatively, understand one another on a creative level, and develop public speaking skills. The KVN event was held in the format of a single competition, and all 250 colleagues felt like spectators at a real television show. The teams were coached by an experienced KVN team from the Premier League, which gave every performance the authentic atmosphere of the famous game.
The festive buffet was organized right in the foyer at the entrance to the conference hall. The New Year decorations, atmosphere, and menu were all designed around the concept of a magical New Year celebration. The mystery of the holiday, the anticipation of midnight, and a truly festive mood filled the space. Musical groups and a host entertained the guests during the buffet. An hour later, everyone was invited into the hall, where the KVN competition began. The host was Nurzhan Beisenov, an actor from the KVN team “Kazakhi.” There was the traditional parade of teams, the introduction of the jury, and rows of supporters who came to the game with specially prepared posters. Everything was just like on television! The quality of the humor remained at a high level, while the teams’ preparation and acting skills inspired genuine excitement throughout the hall. The colleagues certainly did not expect a corporate party like this.
The advantages of such a New Year corporate party theme are obvious: team unity, the development of a loyal and creative corporate culture, and an opportunity to discover your colleagues from a completely different and unusual perspective. From an organizational point of view, such a corporate event is especially valuable because of its preparation process: during the 20 days leading up to the event, the teams go through many challenges usually known only to experienced KVN players. And ideologically, the celebration remains engaging right until the final moment, because it is completely alcohol-free while still being genuinely entertaining. If your company has more than 200 employees, a New Year KVN event is one of the brightest solutions both for a festive evening and for team building!

The Games of the Future Took Place in the Capital

The Games of the Future Took Place in the Capital

For Kazakhstan, this format is, of course, a great rarity, as the very concept of the “Games of the Future” project is based on something not yet familiar. The country has enormous organizational experience and, naturally, the Games were held successfully. A separate highlight of the program was the introduction of dance disciplines into the competition. Our website attended the final of the Phygital Dance 2026 tournament. Once again, it was proven that dance is truly an expression of the dancer’s inner state. After all, participation in Phygital Dance was open to people who are passionate about choreography, while there are generally not that many professionals among them. And so it turned out that the final was primarily made up of gamers who had danced offline but now competed in a digital format. The rules are simple: the participant’s dance must be as synchronized as possible with the movements projected onto huge screens. The final assignments were made available to the participants before the competition, at different times for each participant, according to the competitors themselves. For example, a representative of our country who took one of the prize-winning places noted that she received her assignment in her personal competition account 10 days in advance.

Ruslan Kenzikeyev and His Guests

Ruslan Kenzikeyev and His Guests

Last autumn, Ruslan launched a conversational interview series called “The Environment Around Me.” The guests of the series included well-known producers, prominent showmen, musicians, creatives and other cultural figures. This year, Ruslan returns with new guests, while the series has undergone conceptual changes and moved closer to the social genre. Each episode now features more dynamics, depth and expertise. The first guest of this season was former Vice Minister of Artificial Intelligence Dmitry Moon. In June this year, Dmitry stepped down from his position as Vice Minister and continued his professional work as CEO of Q.AI, a company focused on the development, implementation and analysis of artificial intelligence in Kazakhstan. The relevance of artificial intelligence in our country is growing every day. Its practical application has already reached almost every area of public administration and the private sector, and this trend continues to gain momentum. During an engaging and lively conversation, held in the form of a tour through the “Nur-Alem” sphere, Ruslan raised a wide range of topics that are both important and sensitive for society. Against the backdrop of the growing demand for AI, many people are undoubtedly interested in which specific professions artificial intelligence improves and which, on the contrary, it may displace from the labor market. How can we live with constantly evolving user experiences with AI, and what cybersecurity measures should every user know and apply?

This summer, Ruslan Vladimirovich Kenzikeyev, founder of the dancehub.kz portal, officially joined the ranks of experts of the Alliance of Creative Industries of Kazakhstan. The organization has been operating for several years. It was established at the initiative of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs “Atameken” and operates throughout the country, with its coordination center in Astana. A key priority of the Alliance of Creative Industries is to support domestic entrepreneurs working in the creative industries. As part of this work, the Alliance regularly holds forums, conferences, master classes, and weekly meetings in the capital.

Does a New Year Corporate Party Need Event Organizers?

Does a New Year Corporate Party Need Event Organizers?

For example, in 2025, one of the December corporate parties we organized had a “Gala Dinner” theme. This is one of the most convenient concepts when you have 710 guests. To manage the flow of people inside the restaurant, we had to involve 20 crowd managers. The security team alone consisted of 60 people, and that was also a private company. With such a large number of guests, almost any theme will turn into a gala dinner within an hour anyway. And if you also consider that the bar was operating on an unlimited basis, it becomes clear that in a situation like this, what you really need is not a theme. What you need are hosts — experienced, well-known, and, naturally, expensive ones.
