How to organize a relevant and contemporary event?
I- Follow the evolution of corporate event trends
We have observed a shift towards immersive and interactive experiences, where participants are actors in their own experience. Striking artistic installations, creative team-building activities, and personalized entertainment are all key elements in creating an engaging and memorable experience.
In parallel, events focused on sustainability are increasingly important. We strive to integrate eco-responsible practices into our events, giving priority to recyclable materials, local suppliers and offsetting our carbon footprint. This approach not only helps to preserve the environment, but also meets the expectations of our clients who are concerned about their ecological impact.
Finally, we cannot ignore the rise of virtual and hybrid events, which have gained popularity during the health crisis. We have developed expertise in organizing these events, using interactive platforms and creating engaging virtual experiences. Virtual events allow us to reach a wider audience and offer increased flexibility, while maintaining a human and interactive dimension.
At Acme, we are proud to be at the forefront of these trends and to integrate them innovatively into our events. Our goal is to offer you unique experiences, marked by our creativity and our sense of daring. We are here to support you in creating successful summer events, where every detail counts and where every participant leaves with unforgettable memories.
We will now analyze in more detail the various trends for a summer event. Discover how to integrate these trends into your event to make it an unforgettable experience for all participants.
II- A whirlwind of trendy events: ride the wave!
Immersive Experience:
Nowadays, participants are looking for experiences that are out of the ordinary. Corporate events are no longer limited to traditional meeting rooms. Instead, opt for original venues such as outdoor gardens, beaches, rooftops or even boats. Create an immersive atmosphere by incorporating attractive decorative elements, interactive activities and sensory experiences. For example, you could create themed corners, art installations or interactive stands that encourage participants to interact and immerse themselves completely in the event.
Hybrid corporate events:
The COVID-19 health crisis has transformed the way we organize corporate events. Hybrid events, combining in-person and virtual aspects, have become a major trend. This approach makes it possible to reach a wider audience, reduce travel constraints and offer flexibility to participants who cannot attend physically. Use live streaming platforms and video conferencing tools to allow remote participants to connect and interact with the event in real time. Be sure to create an engaging virtual experience with online discussion sessions, interactive polls, and virtual networking activities.
Summer team building:
Summer is the perfect time to organize outdoor team-building activities. Companies increasingly recognize the importance of strengthening bonds between team members and fostering collaboration. Organize team games, sports challenges, or construction activities that encourage communication, trust, and cohesion. Water activities, friendly competitions, and beach games can add a fun and refreshing touch.
Gastronomic Experience:
Food and beverages play an essential role in creating a memorable experience at summer corporate events. Opt for fresh and light menus, highlighting seasonal products and summer flavors. Offer interactive cooking stations where participants can customize their dishes or personalized cocktail bars where they can experiment with new flavors. Wine, craft beer, or other local beverage tastings can also add a dimension of discovery to your event.
Events focused on sustainability:
In a world where sustainability has become a priority, corporate events are no exception. Show your commitment to the environment by organizing sustainable events. Opt for local suppliers and prioritize recyclable materials and eco-friendly products. Reduce waste by encouraging the use of reusable cups and plates, and consider offsetting the carbon footprint of your event. You can also raise awareness among your participants about sustainability by organizing workshops or conferences on ecological topics.
Experiential
Experience is at the heart of current trends in summer corporate events. Participants are looking for unique and memorable experiences that go beyond simple meetings or conferences. Summer corporate events offer a privileged opportunity to create immersive experiences that captivate participants and leave them with a lasting impression.
Experiential is essential to engage participants and allow them to have a sensory and emotional experience. This can be achieved by integrating elements such as themed sets, interactive activities, artistic installations, musical entertainment or culinary demonstrations. The goal is to create a stimulating and captivating environment that encourages participants to actively engage and feel involved in the event.
By placing the experience at the center of your summer corporate event, you also create opportunities to differentiate and enhance your brand. Participants will associate this immersive experience with your company, reinforcing the positive perception of your brand and values.
In addition, the experiential aspect contributes to the creation of lasting memories. Participants will more easily remember an immersive and original experience rather than a simple speech or presentation. By creating highlights and memorable experiences, you encourage positive word-of-mouth, strengthen customer loyalty and stimulate participant engagement.
Corporate events that promote connections
In a context where many companies have had to adopt remote work and where physical interactions have been limited due to the pandemic, rebuilding connections between team members and with clients is of paramount importance. Summer corporate events offer a valuable opportunity to strengthen these bonds and revive team spirit.
By bringing team members together in an informal and friendly environment, you encourage informal exchanges and social interactions that strengthen group cohesion. Informal conversations over a meal or team-building activity promote the development of strong relationships and the creation of shared memories.
In addition, summer corporate events offer the opportunity to rebuild connections with customers. After a period of uncertainty and distance, it is essential to strengthen ties with your customers, show them your commitment, and renew mutual trust. These events allow you to create special moments to interact with your customers, to thank them for their loyalty, and to strengthen professional relationships.
By rebuilding connections within your team and with your clients, you foster collaboration, engagement and loyalty. Summer corporate events are the perfect opportunity to strengthen these ties and create a positive dynamic that will last beyond the event itself.
Musical Experience:
Music plays an important role in creating a friendly and festive atmosphere at summer corporate events. Consider including live musical performances, DJ sets, or personalized playlists that match the desired ambiance. You could also organize interactive musical activities, such as percussion workshops or group karaoke, to encourage participation and enjoyment.
Themed decoration:
Themed decoration can transform an ordinary space into a magical and immersive place. Choose a summer theme that corresponds to the objective of your event and use relevant decorative elements to create a coherent atmosphere. For example, if you are organizing an event on the theme of the tropics, you could use plastic palm trees, bright colors, and beach accessories to decorate the space.
Well-being experience:
Health and well-being are growing concerns, and many participants appreciate events that incorporate activities promoting physical and mental well-being. You could offer outdoor yoga sessions, meditation workshops, relaxing massages or active breaks to encourage participants to relax and recharge during the event.
Personalization of the experience:
Offering a personalized experience is an effective way to engage participants and create a connection with your brand. Consider offering customization options, such as badges with participants' names, personalized welcome messages, or custom gifts. You could also use technology to allow participants to personalize their itinerary or choose the activities they wish to participate in.
