Here's how you can maintain a steady flow of ideas and overcome creative blocks in Live Events.

Maintaining a steady flow of ideas and overcoming creative blocks in live events involves mixing structured brainstorming with spontaneous inspiration. Collaborate with diverse teams for fresh perspectives and immerse yourself in different environments to spark creativity. Keep a notebook handy for those random "aha" moments and don't be afraid to experiment and fail forward. What's your go-to strategy for breaking through creative blocks in live events?

One thing I do often is take vacations. Seeing other parts of the world not only calms you and allows you to recharge, but it tends to give me so many amazing ideas. The goal is to remain observant of these mini lessons that happen while you are on vacation. Perhaps your server at a restaurant stood out or maybe someone providing entertainment on the street. You never know what can inspire you.

Staying inspired is KEY to ensure you're able to keep the creative ideas flowing. My team and I would often go for walks while brainstorming and take voice notes on our phone to capture ideas. We'd also do half day team building activities to disconnect and often amazing ideas would come out of just unplugging and having some fun. It's important to remember to disconnect and have some bonding time with your team.

A big part of staying inspired is to get out of your comfort zone and attend different types of events. Most people will attend events within their niche such as concerts for Live Music specialists, however, consider attending events outside of that niche or industry as well. Events like tradeshows, local cultural celebrations etc., can bring fresh new ideas. It also helps to know what you want to get ideas on. If you are wanting to spice up your production for example going to conventions, musical events, and even watching keynotes from big companies like Apple can give new ideas on what others are doing to stand out.

I find that travel, attending concerts, theatrical shows, plays, street festivals, theme parks and other events inspire and help me get out of a creative block. Specializing in entertainment shows like AGT, Voice, Dancing with the Stars etc can also help strike creativity.

My team and I will spend time braining storming each month. We'll disconnect from the office or zoom and spend time together that doesn't involved conference rooms. We schedule monthly brain storm sessions and beforehand we'll create a share doc of any issues that need a creative solution.

Calming your mind or getting it off things that may stress you, like coming up with ideas, is a good tool breaks offer. Sometimes the moment you take a break from a project a rush of ideas come. You simply need to rest and not be on 1000% at all times.

Utilizing your typical audience can be a great way to generate new ideas. You as a single individual can only attend so many events or conferences a year to garner new ideas. However, by leveraging your audience you can gain access to insights from hundreds or thousands of events that can not only provide a fresh perspective to you but also create loyalty among your audience.

To maintain a steady flow of ideas and overcome creative blocks in live events, build a diverse team with different perspectives and experiences to inspire new ideas. Conduct regular brainstorming sessions to generate and refine ideas. Stay updated on industry trends and innovations to incorporate new concepts. Foster a culture of experimentation where team members feel comfortable trying new things and learning from failures, encouraging continuous creative development.
