Company party
Calco 2018
Tonight, 600 IT professionals found themselves transported into the world of showbiz. The young organization’s annual company party was entirely themed around television shows. It all started on the red carpet, where a film crew surprised the guests. Before entering Calco Studios, guests could even get a quick touch-up. And then? Showtime!

The World of TV
It was as if the TV guide had come to life: that’s what the Kalvermelkfabriek looked like. In every room, you stepped into a new TV show complete with its own entertainment. There was no need to drool over 24Kitchen tonight. From paella to poke bowls: guests could sample to their heart’s content at the various food stations. Then it was time to take part in your favorite show! Sports fans tried out racing, soccer, cycling, and bobsled simulators at NOS Sport. At AstroTV, a tarot reader predicted your future; Bennie Solo threw a party full of conga lines and confetti during the Ik Hou Van Holland Show; and the thinkers at Calco ventured into an exciting game of poker or exposed illusionists in the Mindf*ckbar. Could you use a touch-up after all that dancing and thinking? Masters of Entertainment fixed your makeup and hairstyle in a flash.
Calco's Got Talent
The employees themselves also provided plenty of entertainment. At eight o’clock, two life-size clocks announced that it was time for Calco’s Got Talent—a talent show for and by Calco. Eleven colleagues, spread across six acts, competed for the title of “Calco Talent.” While one could sing beautifully, another had formed a boy band and written a humorous Calco song. The audience decided who would take home the prize. In the end, Jim won. He managed to balance large objects, such as a garden chair, on his nose. After the award ceremony, the victory was celebrated to the festive beats of White Vision.
