Go Green

Sustainability sustains its top-ranking spot in the hearts and minds of, well, everyone. Even if you’re planning luxury corporate events, eco-friendliness is key. When you’re assessing venues and vendors, make sure to seek out waste reduction initiatives, renewable energy usage and smart, sustainable, local sourcing.

Engage, Engage, Engage

Yes, you’ve heard us beat this drum before. But attendee engagement has always been, and should always be, a driving force in every decision you make. The good news is this: there are nearly endless ways to achieve high levels of engagement. Think: innovative team building, a creative theme, experiential learning, exciting entertainment options and more.

Take a Personalized Approach

Allow attendees to help shape everything from the content to the menu at a large corporate event. You can accomplish this with an online registration that drives respondents to share preferences, dietary restrictions and topics of interest. The rest of your planning can flow from this data collection to inform segmented sessions, breakout group assignments, networking opportunities, gamified activities and even the food that will be served.

Focus on Well-being

Happy, healthy employees are loyal, productive employees. One of the best ways to recruit and retain top talent is to support your team’s mental and physical wellness. You would be wise to incorporate these concepts into your corporate event. A simple way to enhance well-being is through a dinner of mindful cuisine or a team building experience that helps put attendees on the path to their best selves.

Foster Connections

Together, your team can achieve great things – but you can’t count on them to spark the relationships that yield these shared successes. Be sure to carve out time for authentic and meaningful person-to-person connections at every meeting or event you plan. This creates the opportunity and space for attendees to build the bonds that break down silos and boost creative problem-solving skills to deliver measurable results.

Amplify Accessibility

It’s vital to meet every attendee where they are at every turn. Think: wheelchair-friendly venues, multi-language support, sensory-inclusive options and real-time translation tools. The design of your corporate event should make everyone feel seen, included and valued.

Prolong the Experience

Your corporate event should begin before the first arrival and extend beyond the final departure. Prior to the event, you can launch a teaser campaign to generate excitement as well as host online webinars to give your attendees the information they need to hit the ground running. Post-event, you can engage with surveys to learn from the experience and host digital hubs to keep the momentum flowing.
