How musical energisers can transform large conferences – keeping delegates alert, engaged and bonded
Large Group Conference Energisers
When you’re organising a conference with many attendees, maintaining energy, focus and connection can be a real challenge. That’s where large group conference energisers come in. Short, engaging activities can inject fresh energy into the room, lift morale and improve how much delegates retain from the sessions that follow.
After hours of presentations, workshops or networking, people’s energy dips. As attention fades, so does the ability to absorb and remember information. A well-timed energiser breaks that cycle. It gives people a moment to move, laugh and connect, returning them to the conference feeling refreshed. Many event planners now consider these energisers essential for long or intensive conferences.
Music-based energisers are especially powerful. When a group makes music together – whether via drumming, body percussion, singing or simple rhythm instruments – the brain naturally responds. Playing and listening to music boosts endorphin release, helps reduce stress and increases oxytocin, the chemical often called the “bonding hormone.” This helps people feel more connected, open and cooperative.
Boomwhackers or group percussion: Colour-coded plastic tubes that participants strike to build a piece of music as a team. Simple to pick up and effective even if no one has played before.
Drumming sessions: A primal, energetic way to get everyone involved. Drumming together triggers rhythm and synchrony that naturally build unity and energy.
Rock & Roll Choir or group singing: Singing lifts mood, builds group harmony and helps even shy participants feel part of something bigger.
Beatbox, body percussion or rhythm-based games: Fun, accessible and inclusive. These get people moving, laughing and collaborating without needing prior skills.
Each energiser can be delivered quickly, with minimal setup and pack-down time. That means you can slot them into a conference schedule with ease – at the start, after lunch, or between sessions – without disrupting the flow.
Boosted Focus & Retention: Movement and music help delegates re-engage mentally and physically, improving attention, information retention and overall participation.
Enhanced Team Bonding: Music releases oxytocin and triggers shared emotional and physiological responses, helping participants feel more connected and open to collaboration.
Elevated Mood & Wellbeing: Music and group rhythm activity reduce stress, boost endorphins and create a sense of joy, making people more energised and receptive.
When planning a large conference, it’s worth reserving a short 15–60 minute energiser to keep energy levels up and minds sharp. Choose an activity that fits the group size and audience. For very large groups, percussion or drumming works superbly because it scales easily and involves everyone at once. Choir or rhythm-based options work well to foster connection in a more relaxed or creative atmosphere.
A well-designed large group conference energiser could be the missing ingredient that transforms your event into a memorable, energised and highly effective experience.
