Conference Energiser Ideas 2026
Conference energisers are a crucial aspect to factor in when planning your conference.
As you plan your next big event, do not overlook the power of a short, high-impact boost: conference energisers. For 2026, fresh ideas around conference energiser ideas 2026 are more relevant than ever. Even just a 20-minute session can lift the mood, get the blood pumping and help delegates refocus for the rest of the day.
Why include a quick conference energiser?
Fatigue sets in after a few sessions and delegates can switch off. A well-designed energiser increases engagement, focus and energy levels during what is often a long, mentally draining event. What is more, it helps people feel valued. You are showing that you care about their experience and want them to stay sharp.
For 2026, think of energisers that are fun, slightly out of the ordinary and inclusive. Some standout ideas include:
Boomwhackers – plastic tubes which, when used together, allow the group to create music.
Drumming – taps into raw energy and gives everyone a chance to connect.
Harmonica – each delegate receives a harmonica; in a short session they learn blues-harp style. Ideal as a short conference energiser.
To pick the right energiser, keep three tips in mind:
Short and snappy – 10 to 20 minutes is enough to make an impact without cutting into key session time but up to an hour can allow the session to go deeper with the delegates.
Low disruption, high engagement – choose something that works in the room, requires minimal setup, and quickly gets the group moving and laughing.
Inclusive and fun – the activity should allow everyone to participate and feel part of something, whether they are introverts or extroverts.
In summary, when your conference schedule demands focus and energy, a dedicated conference energiser slot can make all the difference. For 2026, go beyond the standard ice-breaker and aim for an experience that leaves your delegates buzzing, connected and ready for the next session.

The Rock & Roll Experience is an organisation that you NEED at your event, no matter how big or small. I recently booked the Rock & Roll Choir experience and it really was a phenomenal experience. Highly recommend.
