“In its purest form, a hybrid event actually is the marriage of an in-person and an online experience.” Still struggling to picture your ideal hybrid event? Think of it this way. We like to think of hybrid events like a Canadian hockey game enjoyed by fans in the arena and at home alike. Just like the organizers of the Playoffs, our team strives to create a similar experience in which viewers and participants both in the room and beaming in from their homes enjoy experientially different but equally meaningful experiences. Our best piece of advice for those looking to host a hybrid meeting or event is this: “Start with what you do well and begin planning the event from there. Let this strength guide what you offer to clients and/or participants both in-person and online.” To learn more visit https://lnkd.in/gPRXUU8M #Events #Hybrid #corporateeventproducer

The content, logistics and details become a show and our team brings the content to the stage.  When clients come to us looking for event production our team has a number of ways that we can assist in making your event the strongest and best version it can be! Prior to the event actually being executed, producers can provide valuable insight to how the event can be broadcasted or shared on stage. Event Producers are able to see the details that need to come to life - from the sound, the stage colours to the timing of the speakers and their prep. We like to think of this ideation and iteration as the planning and rehearsal phase of the event.  Learn more about how we support other organizations on the blog: https://lnkd.in/gsQkQqKG #eventmanagement #hybrid #corporateevents

When designing a virtual or hybrid event with virtual components, the first question to ask yourself is, “What translates well both in person and online?” Begin designing your event from there. The next question to ask is, “What are the benefits and opportunities of this virtual or hybrid event?” One of the best discoveries of virtual events are what we like to call “the hidden audience” or the people who decide to participate thanks to a virtual option that you didn’t even know were interested in your product, question, or experience. New audiences are being discovered every day in the hybrid space.  As virtual event producers, we commit to assessing your event needs from a holistic perspective. We neither favour nor are intimidated by the online space or virtual event platforms which means we will only recommend the virtual or in-person components of a program if we think that they will best serve you. From registration to agenda setting to content delivery, our team is to support you in designing the strongest possible program to best meet your goals!  Learn more about how we support other organizations on the blog: https://lnkd.in/gMfYxZJe #eventmanagement #hybrid #corporateevents

Here at Event Specialists, we’re lucky to be led by our fearless founder Mahogany Jones, named 2021 Canadian Event Planner of the Year and 2021/2022 Top 100 Most Influential Meeting Planner, who, from about the young age of thirteen, has been designing and executing successful events, meetings, experiences, and fundraisers. From her first paid job in events - a 12-hour relay that raised almost a million dollars! - to the present day, Mahoganey Jones (and by extension this team that she has created) is driven to work with clients who have a strong “why”.  This is especially true when it comes to producing corporate events. Strong corporate culture translates into the production of strong corporate events. Here at Event Specialists, we believe that at heart, corporate culture is the innate ability to bring the community together. When corporations facilitate a shared language and common values, they empower each and every member of their team to experience belonging. At its best, corporate culture empowers everyone to do their best work and grow within the company.

You do not have to break the bank to plan a great event.   Inflation's hitting us all, and events are no exception. However, there are still ways to maximize the impact of your event, even with tight budgets.   All it takes is reviewing your resources and planning accordingly.      Here are a few things that have worked for us at Event Specialists Inc.:   ➡️ Focus on ‘Needs’ vs. ‘Wants’: It helps to prioritize what truly matters for the event's success. For example, can a smaller space with strategic lighting create the right atmosphere?   ➡️ Get creative by exploring alternatives such as: Can we play with the lighting or decorations to create a wow factor?    ➡️ Embrace resourcefulness: Be open to using what you have. Negotiate with the venue for included items or explore DIY options.    ➡️ Be transparent about the budget: Knowing the exact number can help you come up with creative solutions.    ➡️ Prioritize value over price: Choose vendors who align with your vision, not just the cheapest option. Their expertise can make a big difference.     ➡️ Think beyond the obvious: Explore alternative venues or marketing strategies that might be a better fit for your budget.     Our take: A successful event isn't about how much you spend, but how strategically you use your resources.      #EventProfs #EntrepreneurLife
