Importance of Corporate Event Photography 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and boy do we agree. Photography is all about capturing special moments in time, allowing those present and even those absent, to recall the emotions and atmosphere of an event for years to come. That is why event photography is vital to any successful corporate event.

No matter what type of event you are hosting, whether it is a conference, trade show, awards banquet, or even an open house event, it is important to document your events with professional photography.

Check out some of the latest corporate events our Haute Media team has captured this season and see how these companies are utlizing the awesome event photos!

Arevon Fall Retreat

In October, our Haute Media team captured photography for Arevon’s first ever Fall Retreat at the Gila River Resort and Casino. Arevon is a leading renewable energy company that has a passion to improve the future through clean energy usage. Arevon’s Fall Retreat included speeches from corporate executives, good food, and fun team-bonding activities; such as a scavenger hunt throughout the Gila River Resort and Casino! We are able to capture the festivities and smiles through photographs that will allow the whole Arevon team to look back at their successful first employee retreat with fond memories!

How To Optimize Your Hybrid Event

How To Optimize Your Hybrid Event

Learn how to optimize your hybrid event by following these pro tips!

A hybrid event combines a live in-person event with virtual online components. When it comes to planning a hybrid event, it is all about blending the “live” in-person and “virtual” digital channels to create a seamless shared experience for your entire audience. The following tips provide a great starting point to pave the way towards successful hybrid events.

Identify Your Event Goals 

Before you can begin to optimize your hybrid event, you should identify your goals and objectives. Start by determining your target audience, the event type/scope, and the type of design and engagement you are going for.

Identify the event type, size and experience you wish to create for your attendees – will you host a 30 minute webinar, a 1 hour single stream event, a full day event with breakout sessions, or even a 2-4 day event with multiple streams and sessions?

Choose The Right Virtual Event Platform 

Once you have determined your target audience and event goals, the next step is choosing the right technology and virtual event platform to support the experience you aim to deliver. In order to create an engaging experience for your both your “live” in-person attendees and your “virtual” remote participants, it is important to choose a virtual event platform that meets all of your needs. There are numerous event platforms that offer various digital features to engage your audience both on-site and online. 

When choosing your virtual event platform, a few components to look for include: 

  • High Quality Streaming Capabilities 
  • Custom Branding
  • Live Audience Engagement (i.e. Live Chat, Polls and Q&A) 
  • Social Hubs or Virtual Lobbies
  • Second Screen Capabilities
  • Ease of Use/User Friendly 
  • Data Analytics to measure the success of your event with advanced reporting

Second screens help bridge the gap between in-person and virtual audiences by encouraging cross-channel participation. The first screen at an event is the stage and main presentation screen. The second screens are your mobile devices (i.e. tablets or smartphones) that are used by audience members to see and interact with the presentation content. Second screens allow your audience to participate in presentation slide sharing, note-taking, polling, survey and Q&A participation, games, quizzes, and more!

Plan Your Production To Optimize Your Hybrid Event

After you have determined which event platform is best for you, it is time to starting planning and putting together all the pieces of your production. 

First, make sure you have assembled a professional media production team in order to handle all aspects of the live and virtual production including on-site audio/video requirements and remote speaker management. Give yourself the peace of mind in knowing you’ll have a team of professional to deliver broadcast-quality content and provide support for A/V production. Plus, as media professionals we can offer multi-location productions to bring speakers at various sites together in a single shared experience. There is never a reason to cancel sessions for presenters or panelists that cannot attend physically, we can bring them in remotely!

Next, choose a theme and determine what content you want to deliver.  Keep in mind, it is important to create a mix of live and on-demand digital content that is easy for viewers to find and follow. Offer a variety of content including welcome videos, keynotes, panels, and breakouts.

Incorporate audience engagement by enabling live chat, Q&A, polls and more to encourage your audience to interact and communicate with one another. You can engage an even larger audience by sharing your stream on your social media channels (i.e. YouTube, Facebook Live, LinkedIn Live, etc.) this will help you amplify your hybrid event by spreading the word and reaching a wider audience, allowing viewers from around the globe to tune in and participate!

Live chat tools allow your audience to interact from anywhere in the world. During our live broadcast of the Feeding Matters 8th Annual Community Event, the live audience chat was a fan favorite!

If you’re asking yourself how to optimize your hybrid event, follow these tips to help you prioritize your event framework and choose the right virtual platform that will allow your attendees to network with each other and optimize your overall event experience!

4 Tips For Planning A Successful Corporate Event

planning corporate events

Planning a successful corporate event is a great responsibility that requires plenty of preparation. Corporate events range from conferences, trade shows and conventions to award ceremonies, networking, team building events and more. Whether you’re hosting a large incentive reward retreat or an exclusive company gathering, here are 4 great tips that will help you succeed in planning any corporate event!

Choose A Fun Theme

In the early stages of planning your corporate event, it is important to select a unique theme that will reflect your brand and resonate with your guests. 

Select a theme based around your event objective and make it memorable by incorporating creative decor, pops of color, festive food and drinks, and of course your logos and branding. 

If you’re hosting a corporate party or team building event, consider a Casino Night or a Western Barnyard BBQ!

Pick A Great Location 

In addition to themes and decor, another important element in planning your corporate event is choosing the perfect location! 

Phoenix is home to some incredible event venues including a wide variety of large resorts, the Phoenix Convention Center and smaller spaces for exclusive corporate gatherings.   

When choosing a location or booking a venue for your event, a few important factors to consider are size/space, budget, and convenience. Ideally, the location should be easily accessible to your guests, which will help promote a strong turnout.  

Be sure to take advantage of the seasons! If weather permits, outdoor events are always a guest favorite and give you endless possibilities for activities (not to mention offer beautiful views for your event backdrop)!

Include Interactive Entertainment and Activities 

Whatever theme and location you decide on, make sure to also include interactive entertainment and activities to keep your guests engaged! Choosing the right type of entertainment will help ensure your event is successful and memorable. 

Live music is always a great way to attract your audience and you can also wow your crowd with different performances from comedians, magicians, artists, and more!

Trade show exhibits are a great opportunity to show off your products while interacting with your guests. During conferences and conventions, include breakout sessions and hands-on workshops that focus on audience participation. You can even turn a corporate meeting into your own game show – the possibilities are endless when it comes to corporate event planning!

Promote Your Event

After putting together the perfect plan with a unique theme, location, entertainment and activities, it is time to spread the word and promote your event! 

Getting the word out to your guests early in advance and sharing the details online is important to ensure a strong event turnout. 

To promote your event, send your entire contact database a custom newsletter or e-blast with the event invitation and details. Also share it on your blog, website, and social media channels. You can even create a Facebook page or a custom landing page on your website for event promotion!

Whatever platform you use to reach your target audience, make sure your communication is clear and includes all of the important event information, plus a few sneak peek details to get everyone excited about what’s to come. 

Planning and executing a corporate event is no easy task but keeping these 4 tips in mind during your preparation will help you host a successful and memorable corporate event!
