Puzzles and solutions

We’ve been thinking here at Comshows about how to add value to our clients’ conferencing events, whilst also appreciating that the current climate isn’t exactly bringing the budget for grand gestures to the fore…

We’d love to start a dialogue with clients and fellow event agencies, to talk about what simple ideas would make an event memorable and unique, without costing the earth. We’re happy to share, and hope you are too!

A few ideas include:

– Large-scale messageboards for conferences and exhibitions, in the style of festival boards, to communicate with both the event hosts and other delegates

– Networking opportunities for delegates, both prior to the event and

– Multi-platform events, to drive costs down from hosting several separate events, making each work independently but in an integrated fashion

– Evening events following the day’s conference – re-enforcing themes during introductions etc., and referencing them visually and with content

Now, that’s just a few. We’d love to hear from you – whether your a business that holds events who wants to comment or make suggestions, or an events team who’ve had experience with any of the above and would like to say how it went.
