Ideas for Conference Entertainment
Host a humorous awards ceremony.
People love to have fun and celebrate their accomplishments. Why not hold an impromptu recognition or award ceremony at your next event? You can either give out lighthearted awards on-site or decide beforehand. These are some examples of funny award ideas:
“Walking Encyclopedia Award” for those who love to learn.
“Duct Tape Award” – For the person who can solve any problem.
“Stand up Comedian Award” – For the attendee who makes everyone smile.
“The Picasso Award” – For those who have a creative eye.
“The Giphy Award” is for those who send. Gifs every day.
“The Coffeeholic Award” is for those who drink lots of coffee.
“Mission Impossible Award” for those who meet impossible deadlines.
Calmer of Storms Award – For those who keep calm in stressful situations.
“Brainstorming Wiz Award” for those who bring new ideas to the industry.
Create an interactive mural or art installation.
Allow attendees to express their creativity! Large murals are a great way to keep people engaged and busy at events. The Monster Mural and Wall and Wall are two examples of companies that can customize your mural to your event. Or, you can create your interactive art display. No matter what medium attendees choose, make sure your mural is customized to fit your event. Your brand, mission, and vision should be reflected in the activity for the best results.
To increase social sharing, offer a photo booth.
Photo booths, Polaroid spots, and jumbo-sized selfie mirrors are the perfect additions to any event. They are a great way to keep your event’s branding alive. Create a photo frame with your logo, branding, and unique hashtag. Next, ask attendees to use your hashtag to share their photos on Facebook.
Host a trivia game or pub-style quiz night.
Who doesn’t love trivia? You can get attendees to connect by asking questions about your company, industry, or any other topic. You can create a game like Family Feud or Minute to Win It. Final step: Choose a fun host to play the game and surprise winners with event-branded gifts.
Tag Tip: Looking for customizable promotional products? Pc/nametag offers a wide range of products they will love: mugs and water bottles, sunglasses, t-shirts, and technology.
Participants are transported into virtual reality.
Virtual reality (VR) is an excellent tool for engaging your audience at your event. Make your conference a hit with an interactive experience that they will love. Companies such as Virtual Reality Rental Co. can help you to create an interactive experience that suits your attendees’ interests. You can put on a virtual reality headset to transport your attendees to a new world.
Outdoor Entertainment Ideas
Organize an interactive picnic
Picnics can be a great way to unwind and have fun with friends. You can enjoy the outdoors with food, games, and prizes such as a beanbag toss (“cornhole”) tournament. For attendees, you might make interactive picnic baskets with company-branded leisure presents. Make baskets that include a towel, water bottle, and sunglasses.
Book a cartoonist or caricaturist.
A caricaturist can make your event a memorable one. Your guests will be entertained and have a great souvenir to take home. Drawings are quick and easy, and everyone will have a great time. Caricature artists typically charge between $125 and $150 an hour. This makes this an excellent option for corporate entertainment. You can draw digitally, in black and white, or color.
Install a station for henna tattoos.
You can incorporate Mehndi’s body art into your artistic entertainment. Henna tattoo artists can apply custom or pre-made designs on your guests’ arms or hands, creating beautiful art they can wear as a memento of the event. Henna is a great way to brand your event and create memorable photos. Henna lasts for approximately two weeks before it starts to fade. Face painters can be used for any occasion and are an excellent option for families.
