How new event concepts are created.
When creativity meets thinking outside the box, the best event ideas are born.
A new event comes about when we use our creativity to think outside the box. In this new blog post, we'll tell you what helps when creativity dries up. And how the best events at b-ceed come about. Developing a new event is always exciting for the b-ceed team. Because, above all, one thing should come of it: great event ideas
.
Set impulses and define objectives
In the development of new event concepts
not only creativity, experience and fresh ideas come into play, but also the customer's individual requirements and the intended goal of each event. Because at the end of the day, something should stay with you, whether it is the sense of achievement from a successful team event
or the renewed motivation that, for example, comes from company outings
is created. With high expectations of ourselves, we then develop a new event concept step by step, with customer satisfaction as our top priority. But how exactly does this kind of development work?
Brainstorming the perfect event concept
The first step in any kind of new corporate event
is gathering ideas. There are various ways to do this. Naturally, it depends in part on how many people are involved in developing the event concept. When working with a team, options include using a flip chart, a whiteboard or, for a more modern approach, a multitouch panel like the one in our Q Room. Ideas can be collected, developed and visualised as a group here. Visualising ideas is particularly effective for complex, multifaceted event concepts
as it helps explain and understand complex information. When working alone, pen and paper are the best tools for successful brainstorming. If you don't like working with pen and paper, writing software and apps are also useful for gathering ideas in this age of technology and the internet. There are various methods suitable for brainstorming, such as mind mapping. Now all you have to do is put the topic, objective, etc. in the middle and get started!
It gets concrete: the event takes shape
Once the foundations for the new event project are in place, it's time to work through the details. Research is carried out, partners are consulted and implementation is planned. Naturally, you can't do everything at once, so you start small. Questions arise, such as: “Where is the best venue for my idea?”, “What do I need for it?” and “What is my budget?” To keep track of the tasks ahead and stay on course, it's always worth making a to-do list; that way, you definitely won't forget anything important. Now you work through them one by one. Step by step, a new offering takes shape.
A mental block? Don't despair
If you get stuck while developing a new concept, don't be afraid to ask questions and look for inspiration. The best answers come when you take a break, go for a walk around the block, have a cup of coffee and stop staring at a blank Word document. And it's understandable that the creative flow and out-of-the-box thinking don't always come easily. But if you give yourself enough time and space to master the task, you can ultimately develop a project that you, your employer and your future customer can be happy with. This is how our own ever-new and creative events come about, such as the mobile Panic Room, the cycling treasure hunt
or Murder at the Lord
