Planning a group event can be challenging, especially when taking into consideration different personalities and different interests. Determining budget and location are just part of the planning process.
If you are planning a group event for a company or an organization, think beyond the basic details to host an event that everyone is sure to enjoy.
Don’t Host an Event in the Normal Meeting Place
If the group event is for a company, go outside the office. Typically, brief events such as a lunch or birthday celebration may be held in the office to provide employees a quick break.
Hosting corporate events that get the team outside the office encourages camaraderie. If the event is for an organization, plan a group event away from your normal meeting location.
Have a Goal
For some group events, the goal may be as simple as having fun. There are times, especially with companies, that team building social activities are desired to boost morale. If the specific goal is to build trust or strengthen communication among the team, establish that goal in the beginning and make sure it is the primary focus of every step in the event planning process.
Try New Things (Like Adult Laser Tag)
Experiencing something new is exciting for anyone and can be fun to do as a group. If the event is unique and just slightly out of the comfort zones of everyone, it will have the group talking about the event before it happens and encouraging engagement.
Keep the goal in mind as you plan, then consider individual likes and dislikes. It’s not always possible to please everyone, but the most important factor is for people to want to be at the event. If not, those individuals will not be receptive to the experience and won’t gain the same benefit from it as others.
Adult laser tag or the Austin SkyTrail at Blazer Tag are great ways to have fun, boost morale, and build communication among a group. Our corporate event planning team can help you customize the right event for your group to have a memorable time.
