Corporate Events

Corporate events are gatherings hosted by businesses or organisations for various purposes, such as team-building, client appreciation, product launches, or employee recognition.

Planning a corporate event involves several steps:

• Define your goals: Determine the purpose of the event.
• Set a budget: Allocate funds for venue, food, entertainment, and other expenses.
• Choose a date and time: Consider factors like availability and peak seasons.
• Select a venue: Find a location that suits your event size and theme.
• Plan the activities: Organise activities that align with your goals and audience.
• Create a guest list: Invite relevant individuals or groups.
• Handle logistics: Arrange catering, transportation, and accommodations.
• Promote the event: Use marketing channels to generate interest.

While that’s a lot, a great event management company (like us!) can work with you to handle all the tricky stuff.

Corporate events are primarily focused on business-related objectives, social events are more casual and emphasise personal relationships. While When done right corporate events are entertaining, they often have a more formal tone and may include networking opportunities, whereas social events are typically more relaxed and centred around enjoyment.

Just because it’s a business do, it doesn’t mean it has to be boring… You can make your corporate event fun for your team in a range of ways.

Start with the basics – make sure you provide good food and drinks. People can’t help but have a good time when the food is delicious and there’s a drink for everyone.

Then think about what your guests will be doing. Incorporating interactive activities, like games, workshops, or challenges can help your team relax and foster engagement.

Finally, make sure they are entertained! Hire quality entertainment, be that a live band or DJ, a hilarious comedian, or a show stopping magician.

There are a few considerations when it comes to the location for your corporate event. 

It’s got to be big enough for your team and any entertainment you’re putting on. It’s also got to be close enough to ensure as many of your team don’t have to travel far to get to – unless you’re holding your event somewhere exotic and everyone’s travelling! Also, don’t forget to make sure the venue has all the amenities you need.
