Good Health - How Savvy Planners Incorporate Wellness into Tech Events

Location, Location, Location. Your event location is more than the event venue you choose. Is your event room or space inspiring? Does it prompt physical activity and wellness? Is the atmosphere clean and relaxing? These are questions you need to consider when booking your tech event.
You are What you Eat. Healthier meal choices are proven to increase concentration and options that encourage energy such as a superfoods smoothie instead of a pastry snack will help keep attendees engaged throughout the day. Offer a sparkling water station in lieu of soda. Choose a catering company that can deliver your attendees a locally sourced meal that also allows you to highlight your host city.
Plan a Fitness Break. Who doesn’t enjoy an instructed stretch? Take your group through a fun series of stretches that can be done in any attire or location and get not only get blood but ideas flowing. This will invigorate your attendees by giving the mind and body an opportunity to reset for the next session.
Décor that Fits. Choose décor that projects wellness. From fabrics to flowers select colors and shapes that relax and re-energize your group. Think nature … Water, light, greenery and sand or stone textures when it comes to your event rentals. Now incorporate them into your events décor.
Encourage Connection. The desire for connectivity is at the heart of the human experience and is desired more than ever now. Having a sense of connection with others has been proven to increase people’s longevity, strengthens immune systems, lower rates of depression and anxiety. So, to increase your attendees’ overall wellness, create an environment for personal connections within your live, hybrid or virtual event. Your attendees will be happy you did.
