Ordinary to Iconic: What Makes a Great Corporate Event
From a captivating venue to quality catering, thoughtful activities and multi-faceted entertainment, each element must come together in perfect harmony (make sure to discuss all these if you choose to hire a corporate event planner.
Here’s how you can make sure your next corporate event is nothing short of iconic!
But first, let’s define a corporate event
A corporate event is an occasion organised by a business or organisation that is intended to bring people together. It can be anything from a team building activity to a product launch, networking event, conference or exhibition. In essence, it’s all about creating meaningful connections and delivering memorable experiences.
Designate a team to plan it all out
Having a team dedicated to planning and organising the corporate event is key. From booking vendors to crafting the perfect itinerary, it’s important that all details are taken care of ahead of time.
If you don’t have an event planning team, you can form one for the purpose of the event. You’d be surprised at how many people would volunteer to be part of the event planning committee (especially if it’s an office party!).
Choosing the right venue
Your choice should reflect your company’s values, culture and identity while also being accessible to all guests. Consider things like capacity and accessibility when selecting your perfect spot. Make sure you take into account any potential noise restrictions too!
Catering matters more than you think
First-rate catering is essential to any good corporate event (or any event for that matter). Not only should the food be delicious; it should also be presented in an attractive and thoughtful manner. Don’t forget drinks as well!
Activities that encourage collaboration
To make your corporate event truly iconic, plan activities that foster collaboration and teamwork. Whether you opt for a shared art project or a murder mystery dinner party, these types of experiences help bring people together.
Multi-faceted entertainment
The best way to keep guests entertained and engaged throughout the night? Provide multi-faceted entertainment options. From live music to comedy performances, having a variety of activities ensures no one gets bored.
Capture the magic
Don’t forget to capture the special moments throughout your event. Hire a photographer and videographer to take professional shots that you can use both during and after the occasion.
With these helpful tips and a little elbow grease, you can create an iconic corporate event that will leave guests talking for weeks to come. Put thought into every aspect of your special office occasion—from choosing the right venue to providing quality catering and multi-faceted entertainment—and don’t forget to capture each special moment with professional photography and videography.
