Involving senses other than sight and sound, you will encourage all types of learners. Ask yourself and your staff members how you can incorporate taste, touch, and smell into the experience.
Give the people what they want. Include a band, an industry icon as a keynote speaker, a comedian, or another type of perfor- mance. It’ll give them a much-welcomed break from “talking shop” the whole time.
In classroom settings, students don’t typically spend more than two hours sitting at once. Don’t make your meetings worse than high school. Please.
Not everyone learns the same way. Incorporating video presen- tations or live demonstrations with speakers is a great way to get your audience to really connect with your content.
Everything you do, you do it well. Make the most of your bud-
get, but don’t spread it too thin. Talent buyers and event producers can help you secure top-notch performers while staying within your event’s budget.
Don’t tell your guests everything about how you plan to blow their socks off. Use the element of surprise, build excitement - then blow their socks off!
Find out what worked and what didn’t, so you can build on this event for the next time! Now that you know the Ten Commandments of Entertainment,
please, for the sake of your guests, inject some fun into your meet- ings. Happy guests will absorb more of what you want them to - and want to return! Allow your guests to leave with the satisfaction that they learned a lot and enjoyed their time.
