From Conference to Concert: How TeamEx Got 1,200 Ryan International Employees Beating in Sync

Picture this: A room full of 1,200 corporate professionals, some checking emails, others making small talk over coffee, and a few secretly battling the post-lunch slump. Then, in an instant, the air changes. The deep, resonant beats of African Djembes fill the hall. Hands move in sync. Smiles spread. Energy soars.

This wasn’t just another corporate event—it was a game-changer. On March 4, 2025, at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre, TeamEx partnered with Ryan International to transform an ordinary conference into an electrifying, high-energy experience. 

And the secret? Music. Rhythm. Teamwork.

From Low Morale to High Energy—The Magic of the Drum Jam

Let’s be honest—corporate events can sometimes feel like endurance tests. Sitting through long presentations? Tough. Keeping employees engaged? Even tougher. Ryan International wanted a solution to break the monotony, boost morale, and create a sense of unity among their people.

Enter TeamEx.

We brought in world-class facilitators from Russia and Ukraine, each a maestro in leading immersive drum sessions. Within minutes, what started as hesitant taps turned into a symphony of beats. People who had never played a drum before were suddenly part of a powerful, synchronized rhythm section. The energy in the room skyrocketed.

What changed?
✔ Laziness? Gone. Participants were fully engaged, moving, and collaborating.
✔ Low morale? Replaced with excitement. Music has a way of connecting people, breaking barriers, and igniting enthusiasm.
✔ The usual “corporate stiffness”? Shattered. Laughter, high-fives, and pure joy filled the room.

This wasn’t just a fun break—it was a catalyst for collaboration. The drum jam got everyone out of their comfort zones and into a shared experience, making them more open, connected, and ready to tackle the rest of the event with renewed energy.
