Sponsor Pernod Ricard Suisse SA teamed up with the Swiss Barkeeper Union to stage a rich and steamy event that had all ingredients of a marvelous show and turned out to be a fabulous party on top of that.
The 25 finalists came to present themselves at their professional best and the audience loved it. The winners would represent Switzerland at the World Championships in Poland. The event details were designed and organized by RTV's partner Rel&Ev GmbH. Urs Emmenegger's professional call was to tame a pack of 5 live-cameras (manned by hot young people) and innumerable microphones at the director's console.
The job description was to accurately catch the tension, the ambiance, the nervousness and all the important details in close-ups both for live-beaming on the various screens and for a 15-minute video summary that was later handed out to all the participants.
