At Story Maker Events we understand that delegate well-being is becoming a key consideration when we are shaping conferences for clients.  If you want your delegates to be fully engaged to receive important messages then creating a mindfully curated agenda and event environment is critical to success.

 

Sound like mumbo jumbo talk?  Stick with me and it will make sense.     

 

 

• A bright, comfortable setting which offers natural light and a variety of furniture to suit different delegates ensures the basics are covered

 

• Breakout space is key – delegates need space to take a moment for themselves, whether to call home, check emails, or just for a bit of quiet time

 

• Outdoor space is a must – fresh air clears the mind and is good for the soul

 

 

• Invest in healthy snacks – nuts, fruit, smoothies will all keep energy levels high

 

• Avoid set menus and offer buffet/street food style choices, providing a variety of flavours, smells and colours to stimulate senses

 

• Be kind to our Planet and select options with sustainability in mind

 

 

• Avoid long days of PowerPoint heavy key note talks – think bitesize chunks

 

• Start the day with a group physical activity – this could be an organised walk, run, meditation, or yoga session. Whatever suits your group!  

 

• Provide active breaks – rooms or activity which encourage reflection and creativity

 

• Have well-being experts onsite offering informal drop in sessions for delegates to talk through whatever is on their mind
