When a Large-Scale Event Comes Together Seamlessly – Alumni Day at Tampere Hall
Tampere University’s Alumni Day brought alumni together at Tampere Hall on 8 November 2025 as part of the university’s alumni activities and anniversary year celebrations. The event combined Tampere Hall’s facilities and services with the expertise of the Talo Events event agency.

Content at the centre, delivery in support
The objective of Alumni Day was to strengthen alumni engagement with the university and to create a meaningful meeting place for diverse audiences. In designing the parts delivered at Tampere Hall, the guiding principle was that content and personal encounters should have the space they deserved. Talo Events’ role was to ensure that production, scheduling and services supported this objective, and that the overall event progressed smoothly and in a controlled manner from start to finish.
“The opportunity for tailoring and the customer-oriented approach were particularly successful. The overall event was built precisely around our needs.”
Maria Ståhle, Event Coordinator, Tampere University


Clear Division of Responsibilities Enabled Smooth Collaboration
Overall responsibility for Alumni Day rested with Tampere University’s project team, who led the planning, concept development, scheduling and overall management of the event. For the elements delivered at Tampere Hall, Talo Events acted as the production partner, responsible for the practical implementation on site.
Talo Events’ responsibilities included technical production, catering and operational coordination on the event day at Tampere Hall. The clear division of responsibilities enabled seamless collaboration: the client team led the content and overall direction, while Talo Events ensured that delivery matched the plans and that the event progressed professionally from beginning to end.
The event agency services of Talo Events were also utilised as part of the wider service package.
Participant Feedback Confirmed the Success
Alumni Day received exceptionally positive feedback from participants. Praise was given for the smooth organisation, programme content, services and overall atmosphere. Many responses highlighted a strong sense of community and renewed pride in the university.
“We received truly exceptional feedback – the event inspired pride in being an alumnus and created a sense of optimism. It demonstrated how powerful shared encounters can be at their best.”
Maria Ståhle, Event Coordinator, Tampere University
An Experience That Extends Beyond the Event Day
Alumni Day supported Tampere University’s alumni engagement objectives and strengthened the relationship between the university and its alumni. The client experienced Tampere Hall as a functional and versatile event environment, and Talo Events as a reliable partner in delivering a demanding event overall.
We warmly recommend Tampere Hall and Talo Events. The collaboration was clear and built on trust, and the event delivery proceeded exactly as we had planned.
Maria Ståhle, Event Coordinator, Tampere University
