Event Space Innovation in 2018
It’s 2018 and the event landscape is evolving yet again. The days of the traditional event where 200 people gather and you feed them are numbered. Today, the expectations are much higher. From mind-blowing keynote speakers, showcasing life-altering innovation projects to exciting uses of technology.
What this means is that even though the end goal stays the same, events are being delivered in different ways.
According to the Bizzabo events blog, the motto for planners this year should be “think outside the hotel” and “so long stadium.”
Amex Global Meeting Forecast reported a 4% increase in interest around non-traditional event spaces in 2017 with a forecast of a further 3.8% increase expected in 2018.
From the venue to the approach, we see these engagements taking place differently in 2018. Event planners can’t ignore social and technological developments that accelerate at an ever-increasing pace.
At The Canvas Riversands, we allow event managers to use their imaginations and create their most elaborate events, be it corporate, private or open to the public. With a choice of seven different venue types, event managers are spoilt for choice. Our amphitheatre can host up to 10 000 people and is ideal for outdoor concerts, while our main auditorium is slightly more intimate, hosting up to 480 people. For those that are looking to host a smaller number of attendees, our lecture halls can seat up to 98 people, while our conference rooms vary between 35 and 200 capacity and our boardrooms vary between 4 and 16 seats. With all of these spaces and all amenities included within these spaces, you can be sure that when you are planning your next event, you cover every aspect of the client brief. Ensure you can accommodate every creative request and innovative display.
Let’s take a look at some of the trends to look out for in 2018:
- The Digital Approach
- Think Local. Think Authentic.
- Green Is The New Gold!
- Encourage Engagement
- Allow for Downtime
