We have a range of team building and conference energiser events that work for all group sizes and budgets. Every time someone is bold enough to work with us they tell us how pleased they were.

Keys to a Successful Summer Corporate Event: From Conferences to Family Days

Summer Corporate Events

If you want a memorable summer corporate event then we have what you need

Keys to a Successful Summer Corporate Event: From Conferences to Family Days

Summer corporate events, be it a conference, family day, or company away day, present unique opportunities for organisations to foster employee engagement, boost morale, and strengthen team dynamics. As the warm weather approaches, planning a successful summer event becomes paramount. In this article, we will explore the key elements that contribute to a memorable and impactful corporate gathering during the summer months.

Clear Objectives and Purpose:

Every successful corporate event starts with a clear set of objectives and a defined purpose. Whether it’s a conference aimed at professional development, a family day to promote work-life balance, or an away day to encourage team building, understanding the goals of the event is crucial. Define what you hope to achieve and tailor the event’s activities, content, and atmosphere accordingly.

Strategic Planning and Organisation:

Efficient planning and organisation are the foundation of any successful summer corporate event. Begin by establishing a dedicated event team, complete with roles and responsibilities. Determine a suitable budget, create a detailed timeline, and delegate tasks accordingly. Thorough planning ensures smooth execution, mitigates potential issues, and allows for contingencies.

Engaging and Relevant Content:

Regardless of the event type, the content presented should be engaging, relevant, and align with the event’s objectives. For conferences, curate a diverse range of speakers, workshops, and interactive sessions that cater to the interests and needs of attendees. Incorporate industry trends, best practices, and innovative ideas to provide value and foster professional growth. Family days and company away days can include fun activities, team challenges, and interactive games that encourage camaraderie and collaboration.

Venue Selection:

Choosing the right venue can significantly impact the success of a summer corporate event. For conferences, opt for a location with ample space, modern facilities, and the necessary audiovisual equipment. If organising a family day or company away day, select a venue that offers a variety of recreational activities, such as sports fields, swimming pools, or team-building courses. Consider the proximity to transportation, accommodation options, and ensure the venue aligns with the event’s theme and objectives.

Seasonal Themes and Ambiance:

Take advantage of the summer season by incorporating appropriate themes and creating a vibrant, relaxed atmosphere. Use colorful decorations, outdoor seating areas, and natural elements to enhance the ambiance. Consider incorporating summery food and beverages, such as refreshing fruit-infused drinks or barbecues, to add to the overall experience. Encourage attendees to dress comfortably and provide ample shade and hydration options, especially for outdoor events.

Employee Engagement and Inclusivity:

Successful corporate events prioritize employee engagement and inclusivity. Offer opportunities for attendees to actively participate and contribute, whether through interactive sessions, networking breaks, or team-building exercises. Encourage open communication and create a supportive environment that enables networking and relationship-building across departments and hierarchies. Consider incorporating elements that cater to diverse interests and preferences to ensure everyone feels included and valued.

Post-Event Follow-up and Evaluation:

To maximise the impact of the summer corporate event, ensure proper post-event follow-up and evaluation. Gather feedback from attendees through surveys or feedback forms to understand what worked well and identify areas for improvement. Share highlights and key takeaways with participants through post-event communication channels. Use the insights gained to inform future event planning and continuously enhance the employee experience.

Conclusion:

Organising a successful summer corporate event, whether it’s a conference, family day, or company away day, requires careful planning, strategic execution, and a focus on attendee experience. By establishing clear objectives, curating engaging content, selecting suitable venues, and fostering employee engagement, organizations can create memorable and impactful summer events. Remember, a well-executed summer corporate event not only

How can we help?

We love summer events and it’s a busy season for us. Whether it’s providing uplifting and engaging team events such as this video of a rock choir singing event at a festival themed summer corporate party, or some live music from our performer options such as the Right Hook. We also provide other styles of music whether it’s acoustic duo, Latin bands, solo artists and more. Or maybe you want some African or Samba drumming sessions. Maybe a harmonica energiser where every guest gets to keep their harmonica as a memento. Maybe a group dance session where everyone lets their hair down and creates a unique performance together.

Just ask us what we can do for you.

Corporate Events Surrey Ideas

If you have been asked to plan your next corporate event then you may be facing anything from stress to excitement, sometimes it can be overwhelming to try and find an event that will surprise your employees.

We understand that you want to organise something amazing that will please everybody. The problem is that it’s impossible to always please everybody but we feel that as long as your event is fun and unique, that engages everyone’s interest, then you will be on the right track to giving everyone a memorable experience.

We also know that you do want to aim to please as many people as possible But sometimes that fear leads people to pick very ‘safe’ team building and conference energiser options because they think that will please more people.

But often those options bore people and leave them wishing they were getting through their emails rather than wasting time in boredom.

In fact often something bold, unique and exciting will go down and leave a strong lasting impression much more.

That is what we specialise in. We use the power of music to entertain, energise, make people smile, get people working together and deliver key messages – all whilst having fun.

That is always music to our ears because seeing those results is the thing that motivates us to keep delivering exciting corporate events.

We have worked with many of the best known companies in the UK but we’ve also worked with many smaller companies and have great experiences with both.

How to plan a team building event

Check out our top tips on how to plan a team building event to remember.

Some of the companies that have experienced our corporate events

Making Sure You Create The Best Event For Your Company

In many cases, the person tasked with researching, booking and planning team building events has no prior experience or knowledge and the task can seem daunting.

There are many options out there and achieving just the right balance to meet all the criteria isn’t easy. To help you do this, it is essential to use professional and experienced team building events organisers to help you through the process.

Songs for Team Building Events

Posted on 27 August 201829 January 2019 by Social Media Manager

Songs for Team Building Events

Which Songs for Team Building Events are most Effective?

People often ask us what the best songs for team building events are and our answer depends on a few different things. We have a large list of tried and tested songs that we use for our singing team building events so we thought we’d share some of them with you below.

team building, music team building, rock choir, singing team building, songs for team building events

The reason singing works so well for team building events, conference ice breakers and energisers is that it’s inherently uplifting so people feel good, they smile, they feel a shared sense of achievement. These are all results that people look for in a team building event and a singing team building session delivers that without having to force it. It just happens.

The event was amazing, brilliant and faultless. We could not have had a better experience. Every colleague I’ve seen today has thanked me for organising it and I’m so pleased that we could do this. It was simply the best team building experience this staff team has had in the 9 years I’ve worked here. Brilliant – thank you.” Joe and all the staff at INPUT Pain Management – St Thomas’ Hospital

So when we look for a song for a rock choir team building event we need to make sure the song choice is in line with that feel good element. So a few things you want to be careful of that might otherwise spoil the mood are:

Slow tempo
Depressing lyrics
Melancholic music

But with around 100 years of recorded music to choose from that still leaves us plenty of choice.

What else to consider?

We also have to look into the message of the song. We don’t want a song that might sound uplifting but actually carries a message which conflicts with the message that we are trying to instill. Sometimes we use a song that has a generic good message such as “I get by with a little help from my friends.” But other times we might use a song that has a specific message for the company or the event theme which fits perfectly.

In the video below you can see that we used the song ‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’ because the event was for the UK annual conference for famous jewelers Tiffany & co.

We also need to consider nationality. If we are presenting a session for a group with several nationalities then it’s no good using a song that was a cult hit just in the UK. A big part of people quickly buying into the event is recognising the song. So if we have an international audience we make sure the song choice has international appeal so everybody feels included and engages quickly with the event.

Of course our facilitators are experts at getting even the most staunch non-singers on board quickly, and clients often comment on how well we achieve that. One of the biggest concerns clients have before booking our rock and roll choir events are that some of the group won’t join in. That’s why it’s so important that we use only the best facilitators who quickly break down barriers and make sure people understand what is happening and how much fun they will have.

Our favourite songs

Here are some of our favourite songs for team building events, but as you probably gather the list is almost endless!

With a little help from my friends (Joe Cocker version)
Never had a dream come true
Happy
Something inside so strong
You raise me up
God Only Knows
Good Vibrations
Celebration
Red Red Wine
Three Lions
Rolling in the deep
Sweet dreams
Bad romance
Can’t get you out of my head
Never gonna give you up
Wake me up
Get lucky

If you want to discuss how we can give your next event some uplifting and memorable wow factor get in touch to we can plan a bespoke session for you.

The choir team building event works from 15 minutes up to two hours from group sizes of 10 up to several thousand.

Team Building Through Music
