Baffled on how to make the meeting or event you are planning memorable? Let meetingpages help! Here are 5 ideas to get you started that will leave your guests with something to talk about.
From the moment someone decides to attend your event, until well after their departure, an event theme helps attendees understand the objective of the event while embracing the brand essence or mission of your company or organization. The theme starts with pre-marketing communications.
Get out of the conference room and take your event outdoors or find a surprising local activity venue such a casino, museum, racetrack, gallery, or hotel lobby. The venue is important because it sets the tone for the event and impacts the guest experience. A well-chosen venue can enhance the event's theme, provide the right ambiance, and facilitate guest comfort and convenience.
The overarching goal of hospitality is to give people a positive and memorable experience. Events and conferences often embody all four sectors of the hospitality industry: entertainment and recreation, food, and beverage, lodging and travel and tourism. Assign members or staff to welcome new members of the organization or company to help make introductions. If your event does not call for assigned seating, offer the guest to sit with you to replicate small intimate moments you would experience at a friend’s house and scale them to your event. Conclude your event by offering your attendees a personalized gift to let them know they are valued.
Often attendees will not remember the food, unless it was terrible, or you ran out. Plan ahead and step up your game by not only ensuring you don’t leave your guests hungry but by serving them something delicious, varied and fun they will remember. From creative salad stations to pasta bars to donut walls, the sky is the limit. Make sure, however, your catering selections are on-theme with your event.
Entertainment, whether it be keynote speakers, magicians or musical artists, adds immense value to any event. The best entertainment tells a story and has an arrangement that takes you on an emotional and dynamic journey. Think outside-of-box, consider LED-lit dancers or violinists. Whatever you choose, be sure to tie it in with the event theme.
