Planning corporate events can seem like an overwhelming endeavor, but it doesn’t have to be – nor does it need to be something pressurized for the business in terms of generating new income. These events can be anything from staff parties and team building events to client conferences and award ceremonies. They can be whatever you want them to be, and what works best for you, your business, and employees.
Here are just a few ideas you might not have already considered.
A Music Venue or Concert
An internal corporate event for you and your valued employees could be a music concert – with so many choices for artists and locations, which websites like www.ticketsales.com can help you with, there’s no reason not to try this one at least once. It doesn’t even have to be a one-time concert; it could be a weekend away to a music festival or a particular artist’s tour.
Maybe this could be incorporated into a weekend business trip if you need to attend conferences or ceremonies and allow the concert to be a way for your internal team to relax a little. You could even go for the best seats in the house if you wanted.
An Outdoor Cinema Experience
This is a great idea for those warm summer evenings,
and certainly, if your business has outdoor space (or even rooftop space)
available for its needs. You could include families and external parties, for
example: if you have important clients, then their families can be invited along
to the cinema screenings, complete with mini bar and perhaps great snacks.
This may even be a good idea if you need to use
presentation facilities for a business idea on a large projector screen. You
can make it a more relaxed and informal meeting by doing it in an outside space
such as this outside cinema scenario.
Workshop or Masterclass Opportunities
It may be that you’d rather tailor your corporate
events to learning and growth opportunities within the business. A workshop can be the
perfect space to get the creative juices flowing, whether from internal
employees or external people, and a great opportunity for people to share new
ideas for the business.
A masterclass event can take the learning one step
further with help from true business professionals teaching a new skill or
trade that is relevant to your business needs.
TED Talks
This particular brand of presentation is hugely
popular, and not even just in the business world. These great storytelling opportunities
are applicable to anybody, not just business professionals. If motivational and
inspirational speeches are more your thing, you could try and arrange an
internal event based around TED talks applicable to your business and employees.
Take it one step further by creating your own talk
night. It could result in an even more relaxed version of the original –
something similar to an open-mic night but talking instead of singing – where anybody
can get up if they wish and tell a motivational story that may be relevant to
the business and its staff.
