We see it in movies, television and literature all the time, different variations of the same theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Event planning is no different; there are only so many original ideas out there. So how do we make them seem fresh and new?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do we continue to impress and dazzle our delegates?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid of inspiration. Just look around you, at other meetings, at social media, at trends. There\u2019s&nbsp; tons of&nbsp; ideas out there waiting for a new twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Event_Planning_Ideas_%E2%80%93_Design_and_Decor\"><\/span>Event Planning Ideas \u2013 Design and Decor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Design and decor are a great way of setting the tone of any event. As we discussed in an earlier blog, design and decor offer endless possibilities and can help shape your event and give it that something special to help make it unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design and decor don\u2019t have to be a budget buster. Sometimes something as simple as highlighting your host city can be extremely memorable for the attendees. Highlighting historical landmarks, sports venues and entertainment centers will not only create memories for your attendees, but also create conversation pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Event_Planning_Ideas_%E2%80%93_Venue\"><\/span>Event Planning Ideas \u2013 Venue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve said it before and we will no doubt say it again. But the key to the success of any event is location, location, and of course, location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean your venue has to be the biggest or the flashiest one around. It doesn\u2019t have to be an expensive show stopper or an all inclusive resort. It just has to be appropriate. And by appropriate we mean don\u2019t have a poverty conference at a high end hotel&nbsp; or a team building event for Coke somewhere that serves Pepsi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Event_Planning_Ideas_%E2%80%93_Guest_Speakers\"><\/span>Event Planning Ideas \u2013 Guest Speakers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Laughter truly can be the best medicine and having a knockout guest speaker can leave your delegates buzzing for days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember one corporate \u201cemployee fun day\u201d where the attendees had to sit through hours of corporate rah-rah-rah (where\u2019s the fun in that?). You could see that they had lost the 1,500 attendees. They were there physically, but mentally they were composing their grocery lists and thinking about the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Martin Short walked onto that stage the energy in that room skyrocketed. And after doing about twenty minutes corporate took over and rode the wave of good will to a positive and energetic closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterward, the buzz was almost 100% positive. The majority of attendees weren\u2019t thinking about the heavy handed corporate babble that they had just sat through. They were talking and laughing about Martin Short, who saved the day and kept those attendees from becoming a bitter, angry mob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s new and hot is always changing. Sometimes all it takes is that one, fresh variation that will make a difference at your event and in the memory of your delegates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are only so many original&nbsp;event planning&nbsp; ideas&nbsp;out there.
