While team-building events can often be boring, stuffy affairs, a UK-based company called Ping-Pong Fight Club is looking to change that. Teaming up with Tsingtao beer, the company is bringing its unique team-building events to cities across the UK.
Pong Fight Club is a competitive, team-building event, which draws inspiration from the 1999 film 'Fight Club' by hosting its events in secret locations such as warehouses, factories and galleries. The events involve a series of table tennis games that are accompanied by DJs, cinematic visuals, pop-up and speed networking bars, food and even branded merchandise. To reflect the more relaxed vibe of these events, the company has even partnered with Tsingtao Beer. As James Wright of Tsingtao Beer explains, "[We're] excited to partner with Ping-Pong Fight Club, because it's a world away from the usual team building, networking and corporate nights out."
