17 event rules they never taught me 1. We are going back to events to discover products. We trust events instead of online where AI is making things unclear. 2. ’Everybody loved it’ is not how you define success in business events. Learn to report actual value and business brought by your program. 3.Disrespectful or obstructive leadership is pushing people away from the industry. You are not in a company to convince people that events work. 4. Long registration forms are a sign of digital illiteracy. Separate the planning moment from the marketing moment. 5. Not capturing and re-sharing content from your event is the biggest mistake you can make today. 6. Early birds don’t work as they used to. Backload your event announcements to maximize the final four weeks before the event. 7. As you scale your event program, you can save MILLIONS by choosing the right eventtech. Rediscuss your needs often. 8. There is no event business without data. It’s just a fun party otherwise. 9. Strategy, business planning, P&L, and negotiation advance your career, not (only) obsession with catering and party favors. 10. If you don’t invest in social media and content today, you will soon be without marketing. We are in the midst of a discovery shakeup. 11. If you build good relationships with suppliers, stick with them. Losing those relationships could compromise the outcome. 12. We used to go to events for content. Not anymore. We attend events to connect with others. Research confirmed. 13. The perfect speaker lineup: 1 celebrity 5 subject matter experts 4 facilitators 14. When it comes to venue selection, you must commit quickly, or you will lose the venue you want. It’s a seller’s market. 15. If you don’t collect and act on data, you are very good at guessing but not at strategically leveraging events. 16. The event starts before your event starts. Your website, airport, and hotel reception will set the tone for what to expect. 17. If you plan large events, you must deal with attendees’ short attention spans and overwhelm. To cater to them, build white space, micro-events, and short sessions. What’s your rule? P.S. Event leaders from Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, NVIDIA, Johnson & Johnson, L’Oreal.

I attended a conference with hundreds of event professionals. Here is what is trending right now. MPI's (We)Con. Let's go: Small is the new big. Large events are sometimes necessary, but if we want to talk about real engagement, small, intimate gatherings are the way to go in 2024. I interviewed Dan Macsai, Time Magazine's Chief Events Officer. He shared how the company's strategy is invite-only, intimate events with the best of the best. Media, Tech, Pharma, and FinTech are moving towards more and smaller meetings. The event starts before the event starts. I experienced this firsthand in Newport Beach. MPI leveraged the destination throughout the event to help attendees connect. They offered: - Registration desk at the hotel entrance. This is incredibly convenient for smaller events that don't need registration at the airport. - Welcome tequila. Yes, you read that right. - Duffy boats scavenger hunt. - Welcome party. With activations such as custom coconut (see video), cream soda, AI Photo Booth, and live music. The event has yet to start, and I have already experienced a lot. Connection beyond content. Building connection in the agenda tells me you are planning a 2024 business event. - Roundtable seating. This was perfect, combined with the speakers' choices to get attendees to talk to each other. - Guacamole making competition. With team names, poster presentations, live tasting, and very competitive individuals (see video) 1 to 1 meetings. Every business event I am attending has scheduled appointments for buyers and sellers. No matter the size. Booths are for activations. Scheduled meetings with matchmaking are the future. No more shouting, no more 'Can I scan you?', no more pens and mints. Closing business has to be predictable. Tier 2 Destinations Close to Large Metro Areas Newport Beach is a perfect example of this trend. Boutique destinations near large cities (in this case, LA) have the convenience of multiple airports nearby but the intimacy you want for exclusive groups. Think C-level and invite only. Also, the CVB has to work hard with you. Even before submitting the RFP, they should be your advocate for better conditions. Think of late registrations and the attrition clause on your contract. Enough said. My objective is to bring you more videos like this from the events I attend. I need your support. What trend resonated with you most?

I help Event organisers to provide a more engaging & memorably entertaining event by providing creative Photo Booth experiences that will ‘WOW' attendees 🎥360 booths 📸Ai-Photobooths🖼️Digital mosaics🤳Magazine boxes🎁
Further to what Julius Solaris has mentioned in his post. AI Photo Booths are not just a trend, they're a revolution in the world of event activations. Picture this: you step into a space, vibes are high, and there it is – the AI Photo Booth, ready to capture your essence, your energy and the brand story. Here's why they're clutch: 1. **Authentic Storytelling:** AI Photo Booths don't just take pics; they craft narratives. Imagine attendees interacting with the brand, leaving with a personalised visual memory that resonates long after the event ends. It's storytelling on steroids. 2. **Social Media Swagger:** We live in the age of instant gratification, right? AI Photo Booths will have everyone talking. Guests share their moments online, amplifying your brand's reach effortlessly. It's basically free promo with a bit flavour. So, next time you're planning to add some form of #actvation, think AI Photo Booths. Trust me, it's not just a click, it's a movement. Peace and pixels, ✌🏽. 📸✨ #Brandengagement #AIPhotoBoothhire #aiphotobooth #photobooth #eventorganiser #eventmanager #eventphotobooth #eventprofs #ukevents #eventcoordinator

No one remembers boring people or events! Strategic Storyteller | Event Creator and Consultant | Bourbon Lover | Coffee Snob | Nintendo Champion | Board Game Nerd
These are the trends that Crfted Events has been under the assumption of. The only true way of getting the ROE (return on event) that someone desires is to have more control over the event. Invite the people you are hoping to find and talk to at the larger event to your own event. Create a memorable experience instead of hoping someone else will. Control how you invest time and $$$ instead of the ticket price increasing every year at the big conference. Leave the PitchFest Vendor Space at events and create a way for clients and prospects can experience what you do.

Hosting a lead-generating event? Here’s how to make it unforgettable (and effective)! Planning a great event is as much about nailing the logistics as it is about delivering valuable content that drives action. Whether it’s a workshop, networking session, or panel discussion, here are some hands-on tips to keep things tight, focused, and impactful: ✨ Choose the right venue: Central, accessible, and professional—a space that reflects your brand. Create areas for mingling and focused discussions, but avoid having the networking in a separate room to minimize drop-offs when attendees move between rooms. ⏱️ Keep it short and sweet: No downtime. No unnecessary breaks. Don’t give attendees a reason to leave. A 1.5–2 hour event with seamless transitions is the sweet spot. 🤝 Encourage networking: Start with a 30-minute mingle (coffee/breakfast or evening beverages/snacks). End with unstructured networking to maximize connections. 🎤 Engaging content: Limit presentations to 15–20 minutes (including Q&A). Panel discussions can run longer but involve the audience and leave 10 minutes for Q&A. 📛 Always have printed name tags: Include both name and company, and print them large enough so attendees (and your team) can identify key people to prioritize from a distance. If you’re using key holders, ensure the name tag is printed on both sides for visibility. 📲 Clear CTAs: Don’t let attendees leave without knowing the next step! Use QR codes or a sign-up station for easy demo or consultation bookings. 🕒 Follow up fast: Send a thank-you email within 24 hours with event highlights and your CTA. Bonus: Share slides or recordings to keep the conversation going! I'm curious! What's your learnings?

Following on from Alexander O'Leary's post this morning 'Size Matters'.... Refreshing to read about Julius Solaris' recent experience at a "smaller" event. PBC Group - Organisers of the COG Series, aim to achieve exactly this, a more engaged group of senior executives in the #ClinicalTrial community. Are HUGE events dead? Absolutely not, each event format serves it's place in the calendar. However, the COG series work as they keep content at the heart of the experience, and networking with senior, like-minded executives a very close second. Maintaining a strict ratio of 2:1 between trial sponsors, and vendors makes the onsite experience unparalleled in comparison to the larger conferences and exhibitions in the industry. I admit... we don't offer a welcome Tequila, nor a Guacamole making competition (Paul Adams, something to consider 😉).

Are the sampler events better? areas in to see what Julius Solaris has to say. What do you think? For me, many of the conferences that I have planned have been less the 350 people. Events that size are manageable. There is more opportunities for really good engagement and networking, as well as your attendees felling like they are really taken care of. The Plus for me is I get the opportunity to really get to know the attendees.

Certified Event Host | Presentation Skills Coach for Managers | Executive Assistant | Learning and Development Specialist | Corporate EMCEE | Communications & Marketing
As someone who's passionate about making every event unforgettable, here’s what I’ve learned about the key ingredients that make an event truly stand out: 📌 1. Relevant Topics: Your audience is there to hear about things that matter to them. The best events hit on topics that address current industry challenges and give people actionable insights they can take home. 💡How to apply: Talk to your target audience. Find out what they care about, what’s bothering them, and what they need answers to. If it’s a corporate event, dig into the feedback your company’s already receiving from clients or employees - depending on who the event is for. Keep an eye also on industry trends—people want to hear about what’s relevant now. 📌 2. Knowledgeable Speakers: It’s not enough for speakers to know the theory—they need to share real-life experiences that connect with the audience. The best speakers make people feel like they’re hearing from someone who’s been in their shoes. 💡How to apply: Once you’ve locked in your topics, start looking for speakers who really know their stuff—not just in theory, but through experience. Check out their past talks if you can. The goal is to find someone who can engage, inspire, and hold your audience’s attention. 📌 3. Varied Formats: A single presentation style can make your event feel stale fast. Memorable events keep things dynamic with a mix of keynotes, panels, and interactive sessions to sustain high energy and audience engagement from start to finish. 💡How to Apply: Plan out the flow of your event. Use keynotes to kick things off and set the tone, but mix in panels, Q&A sessions, and hands-on workshops to keep things fresh and exciting. ✍️ Bonus Tip✍️ 📍Networking Opportunities: Let’s be honest—one of the main reasons people attend events is to network. The most memorable events make it easy for attendees to connect and build relationships. 💡How to Apply: Don’t limit networking to one part of the event. Weave it throughout the day with creative prompts or conversation starters. Whether it’s in-person or online, give people the chance to connect in meaningful ways. When all these elements come together, your event willl leave your guests with a refreshing experience. And trust me, when people walk away feeling inspired and engaged, they’ll always remember your event.💯 Got an event coming up?🌆 Let’s chat about how to make it an unforgettable one!🎤 #BuifeNomeh #MasteroftheMoment #eventhost #LinkedInMasterclasswithBright
