Perfetti Van Melle — the company behind Mentos and Airheads — brought its team to the Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown for its 2026 company meeting. Creative Soul Studios photographed the sessions and produced a recap video.
About the Event
A company meeting is equal parts information and culture. Leadership needs polished photos of the keynotes and panels, and internal communications needs the energy of the team being together in one room.
What We Covered
- Keynotes and panels in the hotel’s historic grand ballroom
- Breakout sessions
- Brand activations, including the Mentos display
- Networking and candid team moments
- An event recap video
How We Approached the Coverage
Before the event, we reviewed the run-of-show and built a priority shot list with the organizers — every speaker, sponsor moment and must-have group photo. On site, we coordinated with the AV team on stage lighting and positions, moved between rooms as sessions changed, and kept an eye on the hallway conversations that make a conference feel alive. Final galleries were edited for consistent color and delivered in a private online gallery, organized so the team could find images by day and session.

Photographing an Event at the Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown
The Renaissance’s historic grand ballroom gives stage coverage a classic, high-ceilinged backdrop, and its smaller rooms work well for breakouts. See more on our the Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown event photography page.
Tips for Planning a Similar Event
- Share the run-of-show and speaker list at least a week out
- Flag VIPs, sponsors and must-have group photos in advance
- Plan a few minutes for group photos between sessions
- Ask for daily preview galleries if you are posting during the event
- Confirm who will use the photos — marketing, sponsors, press — so delivery fits each need
