Build-a-Guitar®: A Rock-Inspired Team Building Experience That Gives Back

Build-a-Guitar® is a unique charitable team building event where your group collaborates to assemble and donate high-quality electric guitars to music programs in schools and nonprofit organizations. Combining creativity, communication, and a shared mission, this experience strikes all the right chords.

Created and trademarked by Best Corporate Events, Build-a-Guitar® is a feel-good, music-themed CSR experience that engages participants through teamwork and fun challenges—while supporting the next generation of student musicians.

Program Agenda

The event kicks off with a fun musical energizer and an overview from your professional lead facilitator. Teams of 10 compete in interactive games—like Brainstorm or Minute 2 Win It—to earn the components needed to assemble guitars for donation.

Brainstorm is a browser-based group activity that includes photo and video challenges, trivia, and puzzles. Teams earn points through these challenges, which they redeem for guitar parts at the “music store.”

Once all components are collected, teams move into the build phase, assembling guitars with support from periodic inspections to ensure proper functionality. Along the way, each team will also:

  • Capture photos and videos of their progress
  • Design and decorate a poster that reflects their unique band identity
  • Prepare their completed guitars with accessories like a personal amplifier, tuner, strap, picks, and carrying case

The experience often ends with a spontaneous photo session—or even a jam session. When possible, a representative from the benefiting charity or school addresses the group to share the real-world impact of their donation.

      What is a Keynote Speaker?

      Keynote Speaker is an often-misunderstood term associated with simply a motivational speaker, breakout speaker, industry expert, etc. Most professional speakers are not actual trained Keynote Speakers, who are specialists, therefore in much lower supply, and in higher demand.

      Keynote Speakers are experienced, professional communicators who engage an audience, capturing the essence of a client’s meeting. They are able to highlight it to their audience while simultaneously delivering their own key concepts and proprietary content in an entertaining and impactful way. Most companies understand that this specialization is very much worth the time (around an hour) and the investment.

      In order to capture the perfect essence, a Keynote Speaker spends the necessary time researching a client’s industry, their issues, and their audience to craft a customized presentation into a unique and distinctive moment specifically for the client’s event.

      As a top Keynote Speaker, Tom Leu strategically uses compelling storytelling, humor, powerful visuals, audio and video clips, and audience participation elements to weave an impactful message into your event in a fun and memorable way. Tom can also pair his Keynote with Best Corporate Events programming, laying a foundation and setting a tone that best prepares participants for maximum engagement in the forthcoming team events that day.
