Hot Tip: Schedule Some Fun!

Take it from me; coordinating a corporate event takes a lot of thought and planning! It’s hard to create a schedule that includes time for registration, speakers, break-out sessions and our 3 daily meals. However, we need to put ourselves in our audience’s shoes and find time for one of the most important aspects of a great corporate event, fun!

Including time for some light-hearted fun:

• Breaks up the monotony of attending events  by engaging your audience
• Creates friendship and bonding between co-workers
• Shows attendees that work can be enjoyable

For instance, at Siemens’ Industry sector meeting we’ve decided to leave some time during our evening reception for Nintendo Wii (above)! The most important takeaway during that portion of the day will be, “Who knew our boss was such an awesome virtual bowler?” And that sounds pretty cool to me.

Have you been to an event that remembered to schedule in some fun? Leave a comment, I’d love to hear how it stacked up!
