I’ve spent 20+ years managing tradeshow floors and reviewing countless booth designs. And shhhh… I used to think booths were BORING. 🥱 I’ve changed my mind. I still see a lot of old-school snoozer booths, but I’ve also seen quite a few that draw me in. Here are 3 elements that catch my eye: Nature: The use of natural elements like plants or wood attracts and calms.These elements can create a calming and soothing environment, making attendees feel more connected to the natural world and each other. Lounge Areas Done Right: Cool lounge spaces that look cozy or stylish– think living room that invites attendees to engage in meaningful conversations and stay a while. Food & Drinks as an Experience: Drinks or snacks that aren’t just at the aisle where people grab and go but rather incorporated in the booth as part of a larger theme or experience… 👉 Join my weekly newsletter before Friday for the full article, including 7 more eye-catching tips + photo examples.

Agree - Speaking with Confidence - use all the tools at your disposal
Connector/Communicator/Collaborator. I assist #EventProfs in discovering the best Event Tech/Event Design for their attendees and events.
Event Tip 👉 Invest in the Confidence Monitor 💰 No matter what you call it Preview Monitor, Confidence Monitor, or DSM (Down Stage Monitor) to ensure your events have polished presentations, add this item. The monitor is traditionally placed on the floor at the front of the stage so your speakers can look ahead and out into the audience as they present. This will allow them to connect with the audience and keep them from looking back over their shoulders or turning around to look at the screens and their presentations. Yes, the size of your monitor is important. Ensure they are large enough to easily show the presentations yet not so large that they interfere with the sightlines/presentation. Décor, like plants, can be a lovely addition around monitors and help to hide any cables/tape 🌱 Remember when we were all virtual? You likely had at least one additional monitor on your desk, sometimes more. This helped support your presentation. Do the same for your in-person events. Set presenters up for success. And if you read last week’s tip, you can even add another monitor as a presentation timer/countdown clock to keep your event running on time. #EventTips #TuesdayTips #EventDesign #Production #AVTweeps #AV #EventProfs #EventMarketing #MeetingPlanner #LiveEvents

Head of Sales for UK & Europe at Purple Roads a Buzz Nation Company | Providing bespoke exhibition booth design that enhances attendee experience | Comprehensive services from initial concept to final creation
Does your event space need seating? Here’s how I would answer it👇🏻 The short answer → it completely depends on your goals and expectations. The longer answer ↓ One of the first things businesses automatically add to their space is tables and chairs, but it might actually be pushing you further away from your goals. After all, before you add everything but the kitchen sink to your stand, you need to answer these questions: - Does adding seating put unnecessary pressure on our target audience? - Is adding seating going to match the overall energy of the event? - Will our event space still be accessible if we add extra furniture? - Will adding seating align with our ideal outcome? When done correctly, seating can be a great way to build authentic connections and encourage value-driven discussions. But not every seating arrangement is created equally, and it doesn’t take a lot before your event space becomes chaotic and potentially dangerous. When you work with the experts, you’re guaranteed a finished design that captures attention and converts interest into lasting impact. Interested in learning more about our research-driven design process? DM me today and let’s chat 🙌🏻 P.S. Not to brag, but this is what seating done correctly looks like. Massively proud of the team at Purple Global Events for this stand at The Vet Show at Excel London! #seating #branding #events

26,403 hotel rooms booked in 2023 at NO COST to clients! Award winning, client-focused hotel Sourcing/Contracting/Negotiating specialist | Constantly learning how to be better, do better, live better.
Truly understanding your space beforehand can be a game-changer for any meeting or event. A well-chosen conference layout can engage your audience from the moment they walk in, while a poor one can make things cramped, hinder interaction, and act as a barrier to learning outcomes. Here are a few reasons why knowing your space is essential: - Floor plans: Does the layout flow? You want to encourage interaction among attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and stakeholders. Awkward flow of space leads to disjointed engagement. 🪑 - Accessibility: Can all attendees and speakers navigate the room with ease? Ensure everyone feels included regardless of physical ability. ♿ - Ambiance: Does the space fit the mood of your event? Lighting, decor, and even the room's acoustics play a huge role in setting the tone, even within different sessions. Think, is this session a ballroom or a breakout room and how will the room impact the vibe of the event? 🎤 The right space helps create an experience, not just a stale meeting. Always take the time to get familiar with your venue before the conference—your attendees will thank you for it! #EventPlanning #MeetingTips #VenueSelection #WhyHB #Conference #Eventprofs
