As a planner at a tech company, you understand that creating an engaging and memorable experience for your attendees is critical. Whether you’re organizing a corporate event, a tech industry conference, or an incentive travel program, the entertainment you select can significantly influence the overall success and attendee satisfaction. The challenge is finding entertainment that resonates with your tech-savvy audience while also meeting your event’s goals. With Hosts Global and our strategic partner, G7 Marketing, you can ensure that your tech event features top-tier entertainment tailored to your specific needs. Here’s how to choose the right entertainment to elevate your next tech event.
1. Understanding Your Audience: The Key to Impactful Entertainment
Know Your Attendees: As a tech planner, you cater to a diverse group of professionals, from developers and engineers to executives and thought leaders. Each group has distinct preferences, and understanding these can be the difference between an event that’s simply attended and one that’s truly enjoyed.
- Audience Preferences: What kind of entertainment will resonate with your attendees? For a younger, dynamic crowd, live music or interactive tech demonstrations might hit the mark. For more senior professionals, perhaps a keynote from an industry thought leader or a panel discussion might be more appropriate.
- Event Goals: Align your entertainment with your brand values and your event’s goals. If fostering networking and collaboration is a priority, consider entertainment that encourages interaction, such as networking games or collaborative workshops. If the goal is to inspire and educate, keynote speakers or innovative tech showcases may be the way to go.
Solve Their Problems: Tech professionals often juggle demanding schedules and high expectations. By offering entertainment that not only engages but also provides value—whether through relaxation, learning, or networking—you’re solving their problem of how to make the most of their time at your event.
Entertainment as a Promotional Tool: The right entertainment can do more than just engage attendees—it can also serve as a powerful promotional tool for your event. By teasing the entertainment lineup in your event marketing, you can build excitement and anticipation, encouraging attendees to sign up early and even entice their colleagues to join them.
2. Diversify Your Entertainment Options to Cater to All
Tailored Entertainment Choices: Tech events benefit from a wide range of entertainment options. The key is to diversify to cater to the varying tastes and needs of your audience. Here’s how to choose wisely:
- Live Music: Set the tone with live bands, DJs, or solo artists. Select a genre that aligns with your event’s theme and your audience’s preferences, whether it’s electronic, jazz, or acoustic.
- Keynote Speakers and Thought Leaders: Bring in industry experts, innovators, or motivational speakers who can provide valuable insights and inspiration tailored to the tech industry.
- Comedians and Improv Acts: Lighten the mood and break the ice with a comedic performance. Humor can be a powerful tool to engage attendees and foster a relaxed, open atmosphere.
- Themed Entertainment: Consider entertainment that ties into your event’s theme. Whether it’s a futuristic setup with AR/VR experiences or a retro tech-inspired ambiance, themed entertainment can enhance the overall experience.
Addressing Their Needs: By offering a variety of entertainment options, you’re addressing the diverse needs and preferences within the tech community. This approach not only maximizes engagement but also ensures that every attendee finds something that resonates with them.
