Whether you’re hosting a conference, wedding, workshop, or team-building event – getting your guests involved is a great way to keep them engaged and active in the conversation. Here are a few ways to keep them on their toes…
Catch the mic
Let your guests share their thoughts by throwing an interactive microphone ball around. A great example of this is a Catchbox – a soft box with a microphone inside. This is a fun way of hearing your guests’ opinions and allowing them to interact with the speaker.
Livestream your event
Create some hype at your event by livestreaming on social media and getting guests involved. You could do this by setting up a dedicated social media area where people can be interviewed about the event. It’s also a good idea to have an area where your attendees can create content with your company logo and colours in the background.
Transport your guests using VR
Help your guests visualise a product or a place through the power of virtual reality (VR). For example, if you were promoting an African safari, your guests could be transported amongst the animals via a VR headset. Or, if you want to show off a product like a new car model, VR can help your guests to visually see all its features. The possibilities are endless!
Interactive food and drink stands
In recent years this has become more and more popular at events – especially weddings. Instead of opting for another drab buffet, excite your guests with something different. You could have a make-your-own pizza station, a portable oyster bar, or a cheesecake table. As for drinks, provide a ‘pimp your hot chocolate’ station, complete with cream and lots of indulgent toppings. As they say, a way to someone’s heart is through the stomach.
Customisable photobooth
Create a lasting memory for your guests with a unique photo or video to keep. There are lots of products out there including selfie pods, GIF photo booths, and roaming photo booths. These are hireable at companies like Boothco.
We’ve got you covered
Engaging guests at your event will not only give them a positive experience, but it can make your event the talk of the town and if it’s an annual event will keep them coming back each year and help you to promote future events.
