Corporate event planning: a stressful anxiety-filed topic. The secret to successful events with less stress is finding that perfect level of productivity. We want you to be able to work less while achieving more in your work and personal life. The key is organizing your tasks and executing them within the time you have as efficiently as possible. We have put together a list of 3 hacks that are easy to follow and implement to ensure your corporate event goes as smoothly as possible.

#1: Set the agenda. Make it clear.

Create your corporate event around one central theme, this will be appreciated by your team working on the event as well as attendees. This will help to avoid overwhelming everyone involved in the planning process and the day of the event. When planning out your kick-off, speakers, presentations, etc. be sure to allot enough time for breaks in the day. For example, if you are planning a seminar on company goals and objectives, schedule in a 15 to 20 minute break before the next session whether that be another speaker or presentation. Breaks will be absolutely necessary to give the attendees a brain relaxer mid-day and allow them to be fully focused at all sessions.

#2: Have a Plan B.

I’m sure you have heard the saying “By failing to prepare, you prepare to fail”, and this absolutely rings true for corporate events. Whether it be entertainment, decorations, caterer, or anything else you may need to book in advance, it is never a bad idea to have a second option in place. Prepare yourself for a lot of changes, this is inevitable in the process of planning large-scale events. The more prepared you are for any last-minute changes that will take place, the more likely your event will be a hit.

#3: Find your why.

Achieving this can be difficult, however it is crucial to your success. A good way to do this is ask yourself the following questions recommended by Picatic Blog:

  • Why are you holding a corporate event?
  • Why do people want to attend this event?
  • What do you want them to take away from this event and why?

Any decision you make in the event planning process always reflect back to your why and re-ask yourself the questions above. This will provide you and your team with the best guidance and will allow you all to stay focused on the matter at hand.
