Planning a corporate event involves several moving parts, from booking a venue, to securing sponsorships, to finding and scheduling talent. But the true key to creating a memorable event is to prioritize the audience experience.
Capturing and holding the attention of your audience requires thoughtful and strategic planning, and your audio visual (AV) systems play a major role in the overall experience of your attendees.
Keep reading to discover the most impactful AV enhancements to incorporate into your next corporate event.
If you want your visual displays to pop, an LED wall is a great option. LED walls have a modular design, consisting of several smaller panels that come together to display a larger image.
Each panel contains densely packed LED lights that function like individual pixels, offering unmatched image quality, vibrance, and sharpness. These displays truly engage the audience with stunning brightness and visual accuracy.
A gobo is a patterned stencil that’s placed between a light source and a surface to create shadows that project unique shapes. Light gobos are typically made from metal (for simpler, more contrasted designs) or glass (for more intricate and colorful designs). These stencils can be used to project any image you want, such as a company logo or trademark. You can even use a light gobo to create a unique spotlight or art piece.
Using strategic illumination to display an image is almost always more visually appealing to audiences than a simple sign, and it can go a long way in making a standard image feel more dynamic.
Protectors are powerful tools for creating images that add ambiance and visual interest to your event. With 3D Projection mapping, images can be projected onto irregular surfaces like buildings, water, and treelines.
This technology works by running the image through a special software that digitally alters the images to align with your desired surface, allowing the image to be projected without any warping or distortion. 3D mapping can enhance your projection strategy to create an even more engaging and immersive audience experience, making your visuals feel like they’re truly part of the environment.
Immersion is a key component of enhancing the audience experience. With the right technology and method, your audio systems can help create a magical experience for attendees. 3D audio is designed to engineer sound in a three-dimensional space, making it feel like sound is coming from every direction, including from above and below.
There are several types of 3D audio technology, including:
The auditory experience at a live event can go far beyond listening to a presenter or a live performer. Even subtle sounds can have a huge impact on your mood. You can use high-quality audio systems to create atmospheric sounds that keep the audience engaged in-between presentations or throughout the venue.
For example, playing pleasant instrumentals during intermissions or in hallways and lobbies can help ensure attendees feel connected. You might also use ambient bird songs or ocean waves to create a specific atmosphere or match the event theme.
Perfect for a trade show booth or product launch, interactive touchscreens are a simple and effective way to encourage audience participation. These displays are exceptionally versatile and compact, allowing you to incorporate multiple activities while saving space.
For example, you might use a touchscreen to conduct a poll or quiz, offer an interactive product demonstration, or act as an information kiosk.
If your goal is to create true immersion at your event, virtual reality (VR) is perhaps the most effective and memorable AV element you can find. With a VR experience, you can place audience members right in the middle of any location.
Using VR technology, guests can walk through an art gallery, tour a far away location, play immersive games, and much more. These interactive experiences are a fantastic way to make any event feel larger than life and create lasting memories for attendees.
T-shirt cannons are a tried and true way to instantly add excitement, nostalgia, and fun to any event. This simple, yet energetic enhancement is also a great experiential marketing tool. Shooting t-shirts with your company logo or tagline in the air is a lot more fun than simply handing them out.
It also makes your brand feel fresh and exciting and allows some lucky audience members to take a piece of the experience home.
Bubble machines are a fantastic way to add a positive vibe to any event. They’re especially nice at outdoor venues, and typically create a feeling of innocence and childlike wonder. When flurries of bubbles are combined with colorful lighting, you can create a truly magical experience for your audience.
While bubbles add a whimsical touch to an event, a fog machine can create a more mysterious and theatrical effect. Incorporating a fog machine into a presentation, introduction, or live performance is a fairly simple way to instantly intrigue and engage an audience.
From large-scale firework shows to on-stage spark effects, a pyrotechnic display is the ultimate attention-getter. These explosive elements are perfect for creating a grand entrance, revealing a new product, or ending your event with a colorful display.
Ideal for tech conferences and theatrical productions, holograms can add a futuristic element to your event. Holograms may be used to project a detailed image of a new product or even bring a remote speaker into the venue.
Regardless of how you use hologram technology, it’s sure to have an impact on your audience’s experience by creating a dazzling, high-tech effect.
From stunning LED displays and immersive sound systems to futuristic VR experiences and pyrotechnics, the right AV enhancements can take your corporate event to the next level. By creating a truly immersive, multisensory experience for your attendees, you can create an event they’ll remember long after curtain call.
