Client Context

HCA Healthcare brought together approximately 300 senior medical professionals, including doctors and healthcare leaders, for a full-day conference centred around the theme “Together We Grow.”

In a high-performance, high-pressure environment where collaboration and shared purpose are essential, the organisation wanted to reinforce the power of collective achievement in a memorable and uplifting way.

The challenge was to close an intense conference day with an experience that would:

  • Reinforce the theme of unity and shared growth
  • Energise participants after a full day of sessions
  • Create a strong emotional finish before the evening reception
  • Engage a large, senior audience in a meaningful and inclusive way

To deliver this, HCA Healthcare partnered with Orangeworks Catalyst Ireland to facilitate Boomtime, a large-scale musical team experience designed to transform group energy through rhythm and participation.

Program Objectives

  1. Reinforce the conference theme “Together We Grow”
    Create a shared experience that embodied collaboration, connection and collective achievement.
  2. End the conference on a high-energy note
    Lift the room after an intensive full-day programme, then transition participants to the evening reception.
  3. Engage a large senior audience
    Ensure 300 participants remained fully engaged, active and connected throughout the experience.
  4. Demonstrate the power of unity through participation
    Showcase what can be achieved when individuals come together as one coordinated group.

Program Design & Delivery

Activities: Boomtime
Participants: 300 senior medical professionals of HCA Healthcare
Format: Large-scale musical energiser (1 hour 15 minutes extended session)

Boomtime was delivered as a high-energy finale to a full conference day. At the client’s request, the session was extended to 1 hour 15 minutes to fit the programme schedule and maximise impact.

To begin, the Orangeworks facilitator introduced boomwhackers and led structured warm-up exercises. This ensured that all 300 participants felt comfortable with the instrument and confident in following instructions, regardless of musical experience.

Once the group was fully engaged, participants were guided through a progressive build-up of rhythm and coordination. Energy steadily increased as individuals moved from learning basic timing to contributing to a fully unified group performance.

The experience culminated in a powerful finale using “Unstoppable” by Sia, bringing together sound, movement and collective energy in a shared performance moment. A final Boomtime video closed the session, reinforcing the sense of unity and achievement.

Throughout, the facilitator maintained a strong connection with the room, ensuring the large group remained focused, energised and fully involved.

Outcomes & Feedback

The Boomtime session successfully delivered a high-impact conclusion to a demanding conference day.

Participants remained highly engaged throughout the 300-person experience, demonstrating strong levels of participation and energy from start to finish. Ultimately, the structured facilitation and progressive learning approach ensured the large group remained connected and coordinated throughout.

Key outcomes included:

  • A powerful shared experience aligned to the theme “Together We Grow”
  • Sustained energy and engagement following an intense full-day programme
  • Strong sense of unity through collective musical performance
  • Seamless transition from conference to evening networking reception

Post-event feedback highlighted the emotional impact of the experience, with many delegates personally approaching the facilitator to offer thanks and recognition — a clear indicator of strong engagement and connection.
