Hybrid Event Organisers

The objective of an event is to create links, to develop and strengthen an affinity contact – and to federate collaborators.

The ability to establish a strong and lasting relationship with an individual is superior over a physical event. Nothing replaces the power of face-to-face encounter. According to American studies, the transformation rate between a digital and physical exchange varies from 1 to 5.

By offering an opportunity for recruitment and internationalization, the virtual event is an undeniable complement to the face-to-face.

Thus the hybrid event combines the advantages of the 2 event formats .

Hybridization is an exceptional opportunity for the performance of events, whatever the health context.

To know everything about the hybrid event

It should also be noted that the lifespan of hybrid events becomes longer. This increase in the life cycle makes the event a real strategic variable for the company.

> The outdoor event

We rediscovered throughout the year – as long as it was possible – the advantages of the outdoor event:

– offer unusual , intimate, original places with a strong wow effect

– renew the event genre

– offer relaxed and warm atmospheres

in short, enable memorable experiences .

An example with the fashion sector:

In 2020, fashion designers offered us exceptional venues for their fashion shows:

– The roof of the Montparnasse Tower for Coperni

– A walk in the forest for Burberry

– The basin of a swimming pool for Sunnei

– The park of Buttes Chaumont pout Koché

– The Tuileries garden for Dior

– A wheat field for Jacquemus

– The private garden of a designer in New York …

These external events make it possible to renew the corporate event.

> The roadshow

In view of the sanitary conditions and the sustainability of the events, going towards its targets will be on the agenda for the year 2021.

A strong acquisition channel, the roadshow offers real proximity to its audience and allows for a differentiating and atypical experience. They ‘adapt to specific event projects.

Exclusivity and personalization will be major factors in 2021.

> The seminar

Faced with confinement and its brutality, the teams were strongly mobilized. They faced often difficult and mostly stressful working conditions. They underwent zoom meetings and other teams!

see our article: Why organize a post-covid 19 seminar?

To thank employees for their commitment and investment, companies will most certainly bring their teams together for seminars and other incentives – in a format other than the escape game and other virtual treasure hunt.

The lack of contact between salespeople used to emulation had an impact on their performance and results. This internal motivation was abruptly interrupted in 2020, as was their competition.

Incentives and other teambuilding formats will make it possible to re-emphasize exchanges, emulation and other sharing between sales forces.

The seminar risks being the winning format of the year 2021 helping to unite the teams!

Trend 3: sustainability of events

The year 2020 and its pandemic with multiple social, economic and psychological consequences will remain in all our memories and in the annals of world history.

2020 was also decisive for the environment with many climatic disasters – and colossal consequences all over the world: fires, hurricanes, cyclones, storms, floods, locust invasions… And let us remember that natural disasters cost more than 200 billion dollars in 2020 .

More than ever, we are aware of our impact on the environment . Sustainability is becoming a global necessity .

And reducing this impact will be one of the event trends for 2021  :

– Energy management,

– choice of an eco-responsible place,

– movement of guests,

– waste management,

– local and seasonal catering,

– reusable containers,

– limitation of packaging and overpacking…

All these factors and many more will now be taken into account in the organization of an event to reduce its carbon footprint and aim for the sustainability of each event .

Digitalization Of Events

In 2020, the pandemic imposed the transformation of the events sector with the digitalization of events. Some events have gone virtual: convention, seminar, trade fair.

Emergency solutions in 2020 in the midst of a health crisis, digitalization is anchored in the global events landscape. This 2020 evolution will continue in 2021, even when physical events can resume without physical distancing constraints.

When we talk about digitalization, we are far from Zoom meetings or other Teams.

Everything digital is not just a simple live streaming and its replays.

In 2021, the digital event will grow by strengthening or developing:

– Interaction and engagement

– Communication of the event

– Networking

– Digital animations …

And all types of events can be digitized: seminar, convention, fashion show, evening, concert, greeting ceremony.

significant advantage: the virtual event allows events to be measured and to optimize ROI, a strong argument for the company.

But beware, digitizing your event is not simply transposing content. Organizing a virtual event requires rethinking the event taking into account its constraints with the advantage of increasing its life cycle.

Trend 2: the format of events

Whatever its format, the event remains the meeting .

It is the very heart of our business. This is its raison d’être.

So as soon as sanitary conditions allow, we will find physical events. After a year of social isolation, everyone dreams of it!

But these gatherings will be different from what we have known in our world before.

In addition, habits have been adopted by companies.

People will certainly travel less – aware of the impact of air transport on the environment.

So we can isolate 3 directions regarding the format of events in 2021

> Professional events in small groups

With the sanitary measures and the habits taken, the small event stands out as the optimal solution.

It is indeed a reassuring alternative for participants and organizers.

After a year of relational scarcity, this human-sized format is an opportunity to pay close attention to the guests and to interact with everyone.

They also offer many advantages like

– Access to exceptional and atypical places

– Create intimate and warm atmospheres

– Chat with each guest

– Personalize the experience

And in addition, they adapt to all types of events, intended for an internal or external audience:

– The company evening for your executives or gala evening for certain clients

– Seminar or Team-building for your managers

– The meeting for your staff

– Weekends for your VIP clients

– Product launch for influencers

– The fashion show for your ambassadors …

The small event format makes it possible to invite guests to an original and very popular event.

How to Organize the successful event

Deciding to organize an event is not trivial. This requires financial and human investment and conveys the company’s brand image. The stakes are therefore high. We offer you some tips to make your events as successful as possible so that they are a source of profit for your business.

1. Clearly define your target and objectives. The event must be integrated into the overall communication strategy. So define what your goal is: should I attract new prospects? Retain my customers? Launch a new offer on the market?

2. Type of event: There are many types of events: seminar, breakfast, conference, technical workshop, exhibition, trade fair, evening, VIP event, team building, open day,…. Choose the method that best suits your objective and your target. So, to re-motivate your employees after a reorganization, opt instead for a day of team building

in a place of relaxation outside the company. To train your network of computer resellers on your new product, prefer a technical workshop where participants can ‘touch’ the product and attend a demonstration. To thank your best customers, invite them to a VIP party and book the more relaxed evenings to liven up your network of partners.

3. The date: to fix it, study the events organized in your region on the same target to avoid interactions. Prefer Tuesday and Thursday and avoid school holidays and periods of high activity in the profession or sector of activity you are targeting.

4. The place: You can hold your event in your premises, in a seminar room, in an offbeat place, … the choice will be made according to the message you want to convey, the image you want to convey (top range, modern, ecological, ..) and the tone you want to give to your event.

5. Internal or external? Do you have the skills and resources to manage this event? Or do you want to delegate all or part of the work to an event agency? If this is the case, you will need to give the agency a brief or specifications so that it can make several proposals that meet your expectations. As soon as the parties agree, the agency will set up a retro-planning with you and take charge of the entire organization of your event, from the start of the project to its success.

6. Communication: in order for your target to attend the event, you must inform them. If the target is small and precise, the best is to send an invitation to all the contacts (electronic invitation, ‘card’ for VIPs, SMS, etc.). Do not hesitate to follow up by phone after sending. The criteria for success lie in the base to which you will send the invitation (is it qualified, up to date, well targeted?) And in the graphics and the catchphrase you have chosen. To reach a new target, you will need to communicate in the various media affecting it (specialized press, radio, specialized websites, newsletters, etc.) well in advance of the date of your event.

7. D-day: take care of the signage, reception (badges, welcome coffee), entertainment, stick to the planned schedule as best as possible, and leave a trace for visitors (goodies, documentation, etc.). Prepare an evaluation questionnaire and encourage participants to complete it. Do not neglect the absent but send them the presentations or contact them directly.

8. Measurement and exploitation of results: exploit your event by measuring the number of present compared to your objective, by re-contacting all the participants and by following up on short-term projects if there are any. If you have new contacts, enter them in your customer base and if you can, register this event in continuity  

To succeed with your B to B event, it is therefore imperative to define your target and objective, to do it well upstream, to respect a retro-planning, to communicate as much as possible to create traffic and to exploit all the data. harvested the same day.

What Is Event Organization

1. Organization  

It might sound obvious, but the best way to ensure the success of an event is to be impeccably organized from the start . Even if online tools like Asana or Trello will be of great help to you, it is imperative to ask yourself a series of questions: What type of event? What kind of space? What budget do we have? What are the safety and health measures to be applied? These are just a few examples of the questions you should absolutely consider.

2. Choose the perfect date

Choosing the right date is vital. Ensuring that the event does not coincide with any other sporting event or local venue will not only ensure audience participation, but also the impact of your event. You will also need to choose a date with enough time to prepare and promote it properly.

How to organize a sporting event

3. The choice of location

The place chosen to develop a sporting event must have sufficient reception capacity, be safe and accessible to the public , whether it is an outdoor or indoor space. It will be necessary to take into account the permitted reception capacity and social distancing measures.

4. Visualize the course of the event

A match, a tournament, a league? How many people or teams will participate? Does the event include several sports or a single discipline? What will be its format? It is never too much to consider all the details of how the event unfolds. Writing down your vision for the event in detail , from start to finish, can be helpful. This will ensure that you improvise as little as possible.

5. Calculate the supplies you will need

Make a list of the supplies and equipment you will need to organize your sporting event: certificates, signs and signs, whistles, medals, trophies … And of course, take into account the personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks, hydroalcoholic gel and disinfection cleaning products.

How to organize a sporting event step by step

6. Health and safety

Make sure, in all stages of your event, that the security measures announced by public institutions to protect the public and participants are respected. In addition, we advise you to take out civil liability insurance . If you don’t have the right insurance, you will probably have to pay a considerable sum in the event of an accident, which is quite common at a sporting event.

7. Staff and volunteers

If you want to know how to organize a sporting event, one of the most important points is knowing the amount of staff you will need to assist the guests . Most events of this type hire both staff and volunteers . The selection and the instructions given to the whole team are among the tasks which, without a doubt, will be decisive in the outcome of the event. Invest the time it takes to train all the actors who will participate in the big day so that they receive clear instructions at all times.

8. Promote your event

Then, you have to actively promote your sporting event. Send information by e-mail, use social networks and if you have enough budget, launch an advertising campaign in the press or outside (signs, means of transport, etc…). Don’t forget to invite the local press and influencers related to the theme of the event to attend . They will take care of helping you promote your date. The more effort and resources you invest in promoting your event, the better the outcome!

How to organize a protocol sport event
