For many companies, the organisation of events (dinners, cocktails, evenings or launch days, etc.) is a way of communicating with the public. Beyond the discovery of their products and services, the main challenge is to send out a positive, enhancing image. It is an effective method for making oneself known and transmitting the values that one defends.
That's why so many companies today are focusing on original ideas for events through unusual, atypical and even surprising activities.
Specialized event management agencies are not to be outdone, and have adjusted their offerings to meet the expectations of these increasingly demanding companies. With these original ideas, you're all set to organize an event that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Whether you opt for an original theme, an unusual venue, interactive experiences, surprising entertainment or a personalized experience, the aim is to create a unique and memorable atmosphere. Give free rein to your creativity and don't be afraid to think outside the box to offer your guests an unforgettable experience.
This question is all the more important as the notion of originality can be relative. What's original for one may not be for another. The first condition has as much to do with the choice of venue as with the animation. Both must be original. The second condition is to carefully study the target, the public who will benefit from the activities or entertainment. Accordingly, propose a concept that will appeal to the greatest number.
Finally, choosing an atypical location often means planning a business trip with a business travel agency for example, as the event may be held abroad. Transportation is another factor to take into account!
Offer your guests interactive activities that will stimulate their senses and fully engage them. You can organize cooking workshops where guests learn how to prepare exotic dishes, wine tasting sessions with a professional sommelier, virtual reality booths or interactive art performances. The aim is to create an immersive atmosphere where everyone can actively participate. To make your afterwork more attractive, consider organizing fun or interactive activities. Board games, quizzes, sports competitions or even team-building workshops can be excellent options. You can also opt for a specific theme, such as a fancy dress party, karaoke or wine tasting.
The budget plays an important role in planning an afterwork event. You'll need to decide how expenses will be covered, whether by the company, the attendees or a combination of both. Consider the costs of food, drinks, space rental, additional activities (such as games or entertainment) and event communication.
Once the broad outlines of your afterwork have been defined, it's time to get down to the logistical details. Make sure you take into account the number of participants expected, space reservation, any technical requirements (sound, lighting, etc.), catering and drinks, and communication of the event to your colleagues.
