Corporate Event Trends For 2015

Planning a corporate event for 2015? Make sure you’re on top of the trends! Incorporate these event innovations into your next event!

Tech Trends

 As we all know, the world of tech is creeping into every aspect of our life, making everything easier with the mere tap of a screen. It’s no surprise the tech world is working its way into event planning and making events really come to life! Our first suggestion? Make your event social! Give your attendees a feeling of inclusion and convenience by allowing them to access meaningful content. Tailor an agenda and engage in real time with others at the event. Simple things like creating a hashtag specific to your event as well as making your company’s social media channels visible at the event can really help to spark up conversation and discussion amongst attendees! There are a plethora of apps to make your event more accessible and easy to manage.

• SocialTables – A check-in app that is a fast and secure alternative to an excel spread sheet or conventional paper check-in list
• Guidebook – Plan your event schedule, create to-do lists complete with alarms and all!
• DoubleDutch – Surveys and polling, attendee networking, sponsorship opportunities, are more!
• CrowdCompass – Event directory, improved scheduling, maps, networking and much more!
• Eventtus – Online event page, digital agenda, live poll

Another great thing to help make using these event apps or even just general event management easier? Tablets!

Corporate Cocktail

 Why not really personalize your event with an official corporate cocktail? Make it unique and give it a catchy name! It’s a small flourish that can really add a dose of creativity and fun to any corporate event!

Shapes and Patterns

Monochrome is out! Don’t be afraid to utilize fun patterns when developing your event theme. Choose a few statement pieces. Think geometric shapes and bold houndstooth print.

Rustic Modern

Just as in 2014, rustic elements are still trendy, but now with a modern twist. In addition to your unfinished wood and mason jars, add some feathers, metallic and chrome elements to really give an air of modern sophistication.
