Venue operator History and competences Read more

For more than 20 years as a full-service provider in the leisure industry, we have gained extensive knowledge of the vast majority of national and some international venues. This knowledge and insight is invaluable and used daily in our current work as venue operator.

Our experience includes everything from developing and executing our own exhibitions, music formats, major conferences at home and abroad for several thousands of people, to the launch of hotels and long-term brand strategies.

A vital part of TALL GROUP was created in 2009 when longtime experience and competences were consolidated in the establishment of TAP1 – a 7800 m2 venue at Vesterbro in the heart of Copenhagen. With a national and international client network and respect for the local environment, TALL GROUP engaged cooperation with Carlsberg City District to complete a comprehensive renovation and dimensioning of the old bottling hall. Six months later, a multifunctional building with acclaimed acoustics, superb location and infrastructure were ready to welcome thousands of people.

Our extended experience was in 2012 again brought into play in cooperation with CMP and the “CPH City & Port”, in the construction of cruise terminals in the Northern Harbour area of Copenhagen. At an early stage of the process TALL GROUPED got involved and taken to the council, to ensure a year-round occupancy of the new cruise terminals. This new form of cooperation with the purpose of developing of social space in the city is unprecedented and have made TALL GORUP able to present a unique case where thoughtful adjustments and adaptations, has secured houses with healthy and robust economy.

With a simple and efficient organization TALL GROUP is able to handle everything from operating-related tasks, sales, full-service solutions including event execution and production to development of new initiatives. The organization’s branch has created a solid and broad foundation of active national and international prospects.

Our approach is functional and flexible, but ambitious; we have high ambitions, but prioritize to be local and present!

It is based on these experiences and the organization behind TAP1 that TALL GROUP offers our expertise in the operation of a venue.
