When planning events, it is important to keep your audience and budget in mind. This will ensure it is well within your means while being something that will captivate your audience and make your event a hit. The purpose of entertainment activities at a corporate event is to offer some relief or a break from the event’s regular schedule or programmed for that day. They serve to alleviate any stress and overall aim to make the event fun, relaxing and memorable. These ideas of entertainment for your next corporate event could be what you need.
Escape Rooms
Escape rooms have become a popular activity for groups, especially corporate entities. In an escape room, teams are assembled and placed in a series of rooms. The only means of escape is their ability to solve puzzles, complete tasks, and discover clues within a stipulated time frame. This serves well as a corporate entertainment idea as the theme of the room can be designed around your event’s theme or purpose. The escape room will provide an excellent opportunity for interaction, collaboration and team bonding, which will prove beneficial to all.
Live Music and Performances
Live music and performances are a great diversion from the regular schedule of your event. It can be an exciting way to spice up your event. By providing live entertainment, attendees can enjoy and even participate, allowing them to unwind and enjoy the event and look forward to the activities to come afterwards. Hiring local stars and performers is also a great way to gain attendees’ interest and make your event worth attending.
Virtual Reality
Virtual reality has also become a popular means of entertainment. Virtual reality is a computer simulation that allows people to interact and communicate with in an artificial environment in a three-dimensional way. It can be utilized in your corporate events to keep attendees entertained and engaged. It is excellent for training sessions in particular. Through the three-dimensional simulation, attendees can get an almost real experience and practice in a technologically advanced, exciting way that otherwise would not have been afforded to them through traditional means.
Mocktail Competition or Mixology Class
Corporate entertainment can be fun and tasty too. In a mocktail competition, participants will create a delicious mixed drink in a stipulated time frame to be judged for presentation, creativity and taste. Winners can be given whatever prize the host or entity seems fit based on the event’s purpose and theme.
The mixology class zeros in more on team building and collaboration while delivering the same level of entertainment. In this class, attendees will be taught how to mix their favorite drinks and have the opportunity to sip and enjoy along the way. It also provides a great opportunity to connect and network with others and have a good time together.
Live Karaoke
None of us is new to the powers of karaoke. Karaoke is entertaining more often than not. It provides good relief from a heavy corporate event schedule where attendees get to unwind and have a good laugh and connect while at a work event. Live karaoke is where a live band is employed to add a real-life touch to the karaoke experience, which can increase the excitement and level of entertainment for employees as opposed to just singing along with a track. Attendees will have the opportunity to see other members in a different but entertaining light and support and cheer each other on. It would be a moment to remember.
Craft Exercises
Art and craft exercises are also a fun, creative way to unwind while at a corporate event. Each attendee will have the chance to create their masterpiece and showcase their artistic talent. Whether attendees will paint or draw or create masterpieces is entirely up to the host. Either way, it will be a fun experience to see what creations each person makes. It could also make for a fun competition or a moment to learn more about each other in that particular moment.
Corporate events do not have to be rigid or standard. It is completely fine to entertain and engage attendees apart from having a rousing guest speaker or inspirational video or presentation. Corporate events can be entertaining and exciting without going to extreme lengths to make them so. There are numerous exercises and activities that are simple, creative and not extravagantly expensive. All this is to ensure attendees leave your event feeling refreshed, entertained and ready to get bust and get to work because of the fun and entertaining environment they are in.
