Top 10 event ideas for every event planner

Don’t you think it’s difficult to impress audiences these days? That sense of ‘seen it, done it’ is always present. More than ever, we require inspiration and innovation.

Our employer requires them, our guests desire them, and our sponsors yearn for them. So, regardless of the sort of event you arrange, how can you wow attendees?

The details are listed below.

Sometimes it’s the minor elements of your event that influence people’s impressions. This is why we provide you with the most up-to-date database of event ideas. We’ve made it public and are sharing it with you.

1. Invite the food trucks.

For many people (including ourselves), the favorite part of any gathering is the food. Clever catering mixes innovation with high-quality cuisine, all of which can be found in a food truck rental for your next business event!

Bring in a few local favorites to surprise and amaze your visitors. Request that the restaurateurs produce a custom-themed meal or just provide their most popular menu items. As long as you have enough picnic tables or blankets and huge barrel garbage cans, setting up and cleaning up is a breeze.

We strongly advise you to rent more than one food truck if you have the means. We’d love to see the following food truck combos at any business event:

• Trucks serving homemade bagel breakfast sandwiches, cold brew coffee, and acai smoothie bowls for a hearty brunch gathering.
• Summer fun, carnival-style spread with Instagrammable ice cream, gourmet popcorn, and hot dipping pretzel trucks.

2. Game night

Create your own game night! This is a fantastic approach to get people to work together and have some fun. It’s also a good idea to expose individuals to some new games they haven’t tried before. Set it up like a traditional board game cafe, with separate tables for different games. It’s also a good idea to have someone present who understands all of the regulations so they can move between tables and guide folks through the rules. Include classics like Monopoly and Risk, as well as a couple you haven’t tried before.

3. Virtual Escape Room 

If you want something virtual, a virtual escape room is the way to go. Escape rooms have grown in popularity in recent years and are a great group activity. Being trapped within an enclosed place for a lengthy period of time, on the other hand, is plainly incompatible with pandemic safety rules.

Fortunately, there is still a chance to enjoy the excitement of escape rooms remotely by participating in a digital version. Virtual escape rooms are an excellent method to bring people together online, whether for a casual social gathering or a competitive business team building exercise. To add to the excitement, if you’re arranging the latter, try competing various teams against one another and awarding a prize to the winners.

4. Hold a session for professional growth.

What better approach to re-engage your staff than to give them the opportunity to learn something new? A professional development workshop accomplishes just that.

During your business event, invite your visitors to sign up for the session of their choosing. This allows kids to broaden their horizons on their own terms while still keeping them engaged in an equally instructive and enjoyable activity. Topics might vary based on the breadth of your company, but what matters is that they inspire everyone to participate.

5. Organize a hidden gift exchange.

An anonymous gift exchange, whether called Secret Santa or not, is a thrilling tradition that also serves as a team building activity. Why? Because it encourages your visitors to think long and hard about what kind of present could impress their coworker.

Have your team members pick a colleague at random and then ask them to shop for a present within a specified price range. If you have the funds, you could even offer each employee a little stipend to spend on their colleagues. You may conduct a major reveal at the event when everyone unwraps their present in front of the rest of the crew.

6. Creative Staff Uniforms

Staff are equally as vital to the aesthetic, therefore including them into themes and color schemes is critical. In keeping with the yearly meta mixer’s lovely dreams theme, have detailed outfits, such as pajamas.

7. Laugh aloud at a comedy show

Book a comedian to appear at your next workplace function to take a break from the serious corporate environment. Comedy, like live music, is an effective kind of entertainment because everyone enjoys a good lighthearted chuckle.

Pro tip: Look for a performer whose content is appealing to your target demographic (i.e., your team). You don’t want someone telling jokes that don’t land or make sense to your audience, so do your homework and locate the right match.

8. Recruit an influencer

Influencers are like God’s given assistants for a promotional event. According to 18% of event planners, influencer marketing is the most efficient method for selling tickets. Determine the influencers in your niche who frequently cooperate with events. We’re not talking about general influencers who are prominent on a certain social network. We are simply referring to others who attend comparable activities. Invite them to speak, provide VIP treatment, and cover their travel and expenses. In exchange, expect them to write, tweet, Instagram, and film about your event. Remember to ask them to reveal your alliance. It’s not only cool, but it also works!

9. Flash Mob

Flash mobs are entertaining, frequently enormous public gatherings in which individuals appear out of nowhere, execute an unexpected or seemingly random deed, and then disperse fast. They are usually arranged over the Internet or social media. To surprise VIP visitors, add a smart business spin to the typical flash mob to make it exciting and unforgettable.

10. Mazes with Added Features

Turn little places into enormous potential with augmented reality games like mazes, which appear easy but become a challenging and participation activity with the help of virtual reality. It’s also entertaining to observe from the outside. It’s the ideal approach to get any event started.
