The best moments in life always happen at big celebrations or social events. We can all vividly remember the ones that impacted us the most: that fancy New Year’s party, the magical school dance, your best friend’s wedding… As event and meeting planners, it’s possible to provide an exciting, over-the-top, stress-free atmosphere for your attendees that’s on par with the greatest celebrations they’ve ever experienced.
You don’t want guests to feel uncomfortable or claustrophobic in overcrowded, small rooms. Guests need to feel happy and relaxed. In order to achieve this, focus on large, elegant spaces dedicated to big events to make attendees feel extra pampered. Be sure to add some splendor or luxury to the event to make it truly stick out in attendees’ minds for months or even years after the event has taken place.
There are numerous benefits to dancing: it reduces stress, keeps the mind and body agile, and increases your energy. After a day of sessions and conferences, it may be exactly what attendees need. Getting out on the dancefloor will allow them to leave behind the tension of the day, forget inhibitions, and make new connections while dancing and networking. Plus, there are bound to be some talented dancers amongst your guests who won’t be shy in showing off their sweet dance moves.
Music can be a uniting factor, when you discover others who know and love the same songs as you. Thus, it is critical that as a meeting planner, you pay attention to the music you’re playing. Make sure you have an awesome setlist that will make participants want to dance. Count on the appeal of nostalgia by using songs that were popular during the adolescence of your attendees. Otherwise, pack your setlist with music that reinforces the theme of your event, industry, or product.
Head down to the dance floor and let that dance be the icing on the cake of your big event!
