4 tips business event organisation with lots of experience

Business or professional does not mean boring or merely informative. Because it is precisely by adding a hefty dose of experience and creativity that you make an impression. It creates variety, more involvement, more interaction and higher satisfaction. Our best tips for more experience at a business event:

You can only make a first impression once. Therefore, let it be good. A special speaker, a digital show, a live performance, a product demonstration or a play... you name it. You can go either way with the opening, as long as with is surprising or special. The same goes for your entrance. The way you are welcomed will influence the rest of the day.

No human being is made to sit still all day and only listen nicely. Not privately, and therefore not professionally either. Therefore, make sure you add many interactive moments to your programme. For instance by alternating with workshops, polls during a primary session, networking drinks or asking your participants different questions.

That ball of cheese might be tasty, but not special enough. Let catering do the work. Medical business event? Show how delicious healthy food can be. A product launch with red as the main colour? Serve only red dishes. You can do so much with catering. Food is not just functional. It is an experience.

People want to be stimulated. Therefore, choose extra sensory elements during the business event. Do something extra with lighting, for example. Or display a unique sound show. Take it a step further? Then opt for a scent machine. Or what do we say ...? Build an entire show with these elements! Guaranteed to be an extraordinary experience.
