out-of-the-box event setups

1. Arena setting

Speaking of thinking out of the box: a setup that hails from the era of gladiators and swordsmen. We’re talking about the arena setting. A circular arrangement that allows you to create a distinct space for a special speaker or workshop. This setup provides an intimate atmosphere because the speaker is close to the attendees, literally at the center of attention. This ensures higher interaction between the speaker and the participants.

2. Route of highlights

Do you want to immediately immerse your guests in your message before the event starts? Then a route of highlights is a great idea! With this setup, you create creative storytelling at your event. Hang banners, place objects on display blocks, and use colored lighting for added ambiance. Showcase the message you want to convey by literally putting it in the spotlight. This is definitely a unique way to communicate your story not only through words but also through visuals and experiences!

3. Projection in the middle of the room

Bring liveliness to the stage and avoid standing still as a speaker by engaging guests with a 360-degree experience. This is the beauty of a round stage with projection in the middle of the room. With a large 360-degree projection screen in the center, you provide creativity, variety, and flexible seating arrangements. Guests can see each other, and something is happening everywhere. This ensures that your guests are more engaged and can listen attentively. This setup can make your plenary session much more interactive!

4. Round table setup

Do you want to increase interaction among smaller groups of participants? Then a round table setup is perfect for this. Round tables are ideal for large dinners or events where you want your participants to collaborate in groups. This arrangement ensures that each participant can see and listen to everyone else. A round table setup is the perfect setting to get your team talking together. If you want to encourage your guests to engage in conversations and connect with each other, this is the setup for your next event!

5. Festival setting

A summer event is a great opportunity to bring your employees together outdoors in a festival atmosphere. With tents and festival decorations, you can transform an outdoor space into a summery setting. The decor will instantly create a cozy and energetic vibe. And the best part about this setup? You mix business with pleasure! You can perfectly conclude a plenary session or workshop together with a snack and drink. Who wouldn’t want that?

There are many creative possibilities for setups. Depending on the type of event you are organizing, you can choose how to arrange your guests. Whatever the message of the event is, a good setup adds value by keeping your guests active and engaged.
