Whether it’s a multi-day retreat or a day-long think tank session, your corporate event should be more than just an employee get-together with educational panels and workshops. Instead, turn your company meeting into a memorable, high-impact corporate event that leaves a lasting impression and provides meaningful takeaways that your team will be buzzing about for months.
Here are some ways high-impact corporate events can inspire your employees and why Congdon Yards is the best place in historic High Point, North Carolina to host one.
WHAT DEFINES HIGH-IMPACT CORPORATE EVENTS?
There are certain factors that elevate a corporate event beyond an excuse to be away from the office. Fortunately, it’s easy to incorporate these aspects into your event planning. Here’s what separates a regular meeting from a high-impact corporate event.
-
Strong Alignment
Just like your company’s goals have well-defined performance indicators, the idea of success for your corporate event should be well thought out and planned before creating a schedule. Spend time solidifying your event’s concept and messaging early on so that it aligns with your company’s brand identity.
-
Create Engaging Experiences
One of the easiest ways to keep employees excited throughout your corporate event is incorporating elements of participation or engagement throughout the day. Encourage panelists to use features like live polling or other forms of interaction throughout their presentations. A small networking event can also help team members get to know each other and feel comfortable throughout the experience.
-
Maximize Your Budget
While decorations and takeaways can be enticing, it may not be worth spending on if you can put that money elsewhere. Maximize your budget by prioritizing interactive events, engaging guest speakers or even a venue that doesn’t require excess décor.
-
Choosing the Right Venue
While all of the above aspects are important, selecting the right venue for your corporate event should be your first decision. After all, a venue can make or break your event. Most employees are expecting a place that’s spacious enough to spread out without feeling like they’re lost. It’s also helpful to book a venue that offers amenities, such as breakout rooms, cafes, and an abundance of restrooms to accommodate your guests.
If you’re looking for a customizable space in High Point to host your next corporate gathering, Congdon Yards is the place.
