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.
That evening was carried by the hosts themselves. By dividing the guests into three sectors of more than 200 people each, they made sure that not a single guest had the opportunity to disengage from the show.
Another corporate event we organized in December 2025 followed the current trend and was completely alcohol-free.
Here, the task was no longer to keep the guests in one hall, but to engage them with something genuinely interesting. The script had to remain exciting for everyone until the final moments of the evening.
That is where the good old KVN came to the rescue. All 250 guests sincerely supported their teams, while the teams themselves, performing in the format of a classic festival, delivered a spectacular comedy show.
One of the most memorable evenings in our 2025 series of corporate events had a “Musical” theme.
The guests were only given a medieval dress code, while those who wished were also given the opportunity to take part in the production.
To make the atmosphere even more vivid, professional choreographers worked on the show for a month and a half, creating large-scale performances involving employees who wanted to appear on stage. To our surprise, there were quite a few of them.
Even the management’s entrances onto the dance floor were accompanied by choreographed performances and musical interludes from the band.
The décor captured guests from the very first steps. There was Venice, Verona, French estates, candelabras, chandeliers, and generous drapery. All of this transformed an ordinary wedding restaurant into the gardens of Versailles.
Of course, a successful corporate party is not only a tool for strengthening team unity. It is also an indicator of effective leadership — leadership that has managed to retain such a large number of people in a company where every employee is genuinely proud of their role.
A successful corporate party is also an indicator of the effectiveness of the HR department, which, through carefully selected themes, was able to communicate the company’s ideological values to every department.
But behind the scenes of every successful evening, there is always an equally experienced team of event organizers whose job is to execute every detail of the script in full accordance with the client’s expectations.

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.
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.

There is nothing more frightening than experiencing “cringe” in front of management at a New Year corporate party. It is an especially uncomfortable feeling for the HR specialist, who is ultimately responsible for the evening. Quite often, an awkward situation is caused by the host’s lack of preparation, and the issue has little to do with their energy or entertainment program. The real problem lies in their inner substance. Without understanding the level of the guests sitting in front of them — especially those seated at the first four tables — a “cringeworthy” host follows the notorious idea of “bringing the house down at any cost.” They start asking each side of the room about their mood before even giving the first official guest the floor.
