When generating new events for your company, you want to choose options that will engage your team and encourage their participation. You want to incorporate the theme and goal of the event in everything from activities and presentations to the food and decorations provided. Below are some of the more successful corporate events you should consider for your company.

Theme-Based Parties and Events

Theme-based parties are meant to create specific memories and are some of the most engaging events for corporations. They are great for photo ops and getting the community involved when necessary. Theme-based parties are great for details, decorations, and presentations. They allow the event to flow effortlessly because everything ties into each other.

Theme-based events also encourage those in attendance to relate to the event. For example, if you have a lot of employees born in the 1980s decade, an 80s party is a great way to tie in their youth and have them relate to each other. Theme parties give guests something to bond over and make the event even more successful.

Some of the best theme-based parties that encourage fun and interaction include:

• Casinos
• Decades
• Luau
• Superhero
• Black and White Ball

These encourage guests to dress up for the party and participate. Dressing is part of the theme and promotes conversation and interaction between colleagues and guests.

Interactive Workshops and Team-building Activities

Working as a team is vital, especially in the corporate world. This is why events with interactive workshops and team-building activities are ideal for corporations. Whether your team works together daily or remotely across several locations, these events bring the team together as one unit and help them find a way to learn about each other.

Being in the vicinity of other team members may be just what they need to get their creative juices flowing. Activities that encourage them to work with other team members can give them a different perspective on their job duties. These activities should find a way to break up teams and have them work with others they may not spend a lot of time with. They can learn more about everyone’s personality and get a more well-rounded understanding of their thought process.

Some of the best activities to include for team-building and interaction include the following:

• Problem-solving
• Escape room
• Scavenger hunt
• Trivia games
• Improv

These activities encourage communication, trust, decision-making, and problem-solving with your team members. Knowing that you have a team you can work with regularly will boost morale and productivity in the office. It isn’t a bad idea to offer friendly competition among teams once your corporation gets more involved with these activities.

Networking Events With a Twist

As a corporation, you may work with many vendors in different industries, and hosting network events is a great way to bring these vendors together. As a corporation, your hosting gets your name circulating through the other channels and building your brand. You want to develop deeper connections in several industries and, when possible, work as globally as you can. Being willing and able to expand your reach can take your networking events to higher places and access many great resources.

When hosting these different networking events, it’s vital to include some of the following sessions:

• Roundtables
• Icebreaker games
• Scavenger hunts
• Games and prizes
• Presentation opportunities

You want these events to be memorable so that the potential clients you’re engaging with will keep you at the forefront of their minds. They will find these events to symbolize your customer service and the treatment they can expect if they interact with your company.
