Top Must-Have Elements for a Memorable Corporate Meeting Free Printable below  When it comes to corporate meetings, it’s no longer enough to just get everyone in a room (or on Zoom) and run through a basic (and often boring) agenda. You want your meeting to be effective and engaging and leave people thinking about what they’ve heard. Whether you’re organizing a company-wide summit or a smaller departmental meeting, here are the top must-have elements to help you create a successful and enjoyable event: Clear Objectives – The foundation of any great meeting is having a clear sense of purpose. Set specific goals so everyone knows why they’re there and what outcomes you’re aiming for. Is it to brainstorm new ideas or solidify a business strategy? Just make sure your objectives are communicated upfront. Engaging Content – Keep the content fresh and relevant. Ditch long, monotonous presentations in favor of shorter, interactive segments. Use multimedia like videos, real-time demos, or dynamic visuals to keep everyone’s attention focused and the energy high. Remember, people remember stories and experiences more than bullet points. Inspiring Speakers – The right speaker can make or break a meeting. Bring in experts who can inspire, motivate, and challenge the team’s thinking. Whether it’s an internal leader with a strong message or an external guest with fresh insights, a great speaker will leave a lasting impression. Fun Team-Building Activities – Meetings don’t have to be all business. Incorporating team-building activities breaks up the monotony and helps build relationships. Icebreakers, problem-solving challenges, or quick group games create connections and get people thinking creatively. BIG DEAL Company has published several blogs with great tips for these activities! Tasty Treats – Never underestimate the power of good food! Snacks, coffee, and even a full meal can energize your team and keep everyone happy. Offer a variety of options to accommodate dietary preferences, and consider seasonal or topic themes to make it more memorable. Interactive Technology – Use technology to increase engagement, whether your meeting is in-person, virtual, or hybrid. We can’t stress the importance of this enough. Incorporate live polls, real-time Q&A sessions, or even gamified learning tools to make the experience interactive. These tools can also provide valuable feedback on the spot! The Right Atmosphere – The meeting environment matters more than you think. Choose a venue (or virtual setting) that reflects the tone of your meeting. A creative brainstorming session might thrive in a more casual, open environment, while a strategy session may benefit from a more formal, focused setting. Hey, who knows some of the best venues in Northern Colorado? Oh yeah, BIG DEAL Company! By combining these elements, your corporate meeting will be more than just a check-the-box gathering. Instead, it will leave people inspired, connected, and ready to take action. Looking for more ways to make your corporate meetings unforgettable? Visit BigDealCompany.com for expert tips and tricks!

From conferences to weddings, our BIG DEAL clients are seeking ways to make their gatherings more sustainable. Fortunately, there are plenty of simple yet effective practices you can adopt to reduce your event’s carbon footprint. Here are 10 easy sustainable event practices that you can implement to minimize environmental impact without compromising on the quality of your event.  Digital Invitations E-invites’ moment started long before the recent push for green events. Convenient and cost-effective, digital invitations reduce waste and mailbox clutter. Not only do digital invitations significantly reduce paper waste, digital platforms allow for easier RSVP tracking and communication with guests. Venue Selection When shopping for venues, prioritize venues that have sustainability initiatives in place. Look for venues with LEED certification, renewable energy sources, or a commitment to waste reduction. By supporting sustainable venues, you're contributing to a larger movement towards environmental responsibility. Reusable Decorations Instead of purchasing disposable decorations, opt for reusable options that can be used for future events or repurposed in other ways. At BIG DEAL, we invite clients to “shop” our stock of complimentary rental decor items. Potted plants that can be sent home with guests or auctioned off, fabric banners, or LED lighting to create a festive atmosphere without generating unnecessary waste. Green Transportation When venue shopping, consider proximity to your public transportation options and minimize the distance guests will travel to attend. Encourage attendees to carpool, use public transportation, or bike to your event. Offer incentives such as preferred parking for carpoolers or bike racks for cyclists. By reducing the number of vehicles on the road, you'll decrease carbon emissions and promote sustainable transportation alternatives. Zero Waste Catering Work with catering companies that specialize in zero-waste practices. Opt for locally sourced, organic foods and beverages, and ensure that all serving materials are compostable or recyclable. By minimizing food waste and single-use plastics, you'll significantly reduce your event's environmental footprint.  Provide Plant-Based Food Options Using plant-based catering for events can significantly reduce the environmental impact by lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with animal agriculture and minimizing water usage compared to traditional meat-based menus. Vegetarian and vegan guests appreciate having options to choose from at events, where they sometimes feel excluded. Waste Disposal Stations Set up clearly labeled recycling and compost bins throughout your event space to encourage proper waste disposal. Work with your venue or waste management company to ensure that waste is sorted correctly and diverted from landfills whenever possible. Donate Leftovers Coordinate with a local food bank or shelter to donate any leftover food from the event rather than letting it go to waste. Leftover decor can be reused at future events or auctioned off or sent home with guests to use and display at home. Local nursing homes and hospitals often appreciate donations of floral arrangements or live plants. Sustainable Swag If your event involves gift bags or other giveaways, opt for recycled, recyclable, and reusable items. Ideas we’ve used include:
End-to-End Mobile Solutions By leveraging mobile apps for event planning, registration, and communication, organizers can eliminate the need for paper-based processes, such as printed agendas and tickets, thus reducing paper waste. Mobile apps can also streamline logistics, allowing attendees to access event information, schedules, and updates in real-time, minimizing the need for printed materials and physical signage. Additionally, mobile ticketing and check-in solutions can streamline entry processes, reducing queuing times and minimizing the use of paper tickets or wristbands. By implementing these 10 easy sustainable event practices, you can significantly reduce the environmental impact of your gatherings while creating memorable experiences for attendees – and even saving money. Whether you're planning a corporate conference, wedding, or community fundraiser, small changes can add up to make a big difference. BIG DEAL Company looks forward to working together to promote sustainability in the events industry and pave the way for a greener future. Free downloadable:

Maybe you are really organized... Maybe you are surrounded with helpful people. While there is no question that organizational skills and reliable friends can aid in an event's success - there is nothing like having a professional team to ensure your event is successful and stress free.  With over 160 years of combined experience on our event planning team, we have compiled a number of memorable 'Event Planner to the Rescue' moments during our time working together. So many popped up that we had to make this a multi-part blog! Examples of how we have saved the day at events: -Flashlights - We carry them in our emergency kits. We have supported countless events where lighting was limited, but bathrooms are always necessary. Hey - in Colorado, we have outdoor events nearly year-round! Sometimes guests with simply need an escort... to the parking lot or to the restrooms. -Glowsticks - Yes, we get creative. Sometimes hanging glowsticks in restrooms comes with the job. Creativity - it's what we do. -Keeping peace with the family - There is a reason why the role of Event Planner is commonly in the Top 10 List of most stressful jobs in America. Part of our job is 'making people happy.' When family relationships are strained, we are often the peacemakers. -Traditions - Speaking of family intervention.... we commonly experience dissention between business partners who disagree about 'the way things have always been done'.... or family members who are insistent on honoring tradition or heritage, even though the recognized parties don't associate with said traditions. In comes your event planner. -Technology partners - Not only do we rock spreadsheets, we have to be well-versed in every kind of technology. From laptop back-ups, jump drives to tablets and iPods with your playlist back-up.... we have managed it all. DJ showed up with a wireless microphone with dead batteries. We step in. -Wind storms, Rain storms and Stow storms - With 20+ years of experience and an average of 100 events a year, we've seen and planned around it all. We approach every event with a plan A, plan B and plan C. We have weathered all kinds of storms and don't sweat it, because we have seen and done it all.

As most companies know, planning the fun is a TON of work! We are grateful that slate360 chooses to rely on BIG DAY Company to plan all of the intricate details of their annual company retreat. Travel, lodging, meals, break-outs, excursions, transportation... it can take months to pull it all together and pull it off. We love what we do - and the end result of bringing our clients JOY! Planning Considerations from the Experts at BIG DEAL Company: Does the destination align with your meeting priorities? The first thing to consider is that the destination must work for the business purpose. What are your priorities for the meeting? What kind of team building do you envision? Will you want to do group activities or let people choose their own adventure? What time of year will work best? Answering these questions are the first step in selection your destination. Location, location, location... Once you've identified your business priorities, the next step is to narrow down your location options. What type of team do you have? What kind of company are you? What type of venue are you looking for? As you ponder your location options, also consider the type of venue that you're looking for. Are you ready to pull out all the stops for a luxurious celebration? Do you need a functional space where your team can work hard and then play hard? Budget and Attendance As you narrow down your wish list, it's likely that your location and venue selection will boil down to how many people it can accommodate and how it will fit into your budget. Also, consider peak visitation and plan accordingly - you may be able to receive discounts or more robust packages during the off season. Planes, Trains and Automobiles Even the most wonderful venue can become a nightmare when it comes to transportation. Consider distance from a major airport, transportation availability and cost for large groups, back up options if needed, and proximity to entertainment, dining, etc. You've Selected the Location. Now What? This is where the sky is the limit! Consider both group options and plenty of free time to explore. By giving your employees time to soak up the sun and fresh air, your meetings will be more relaxed and productive. We Do It So You Don't Have To Destination planning isn't for the faint of heart! We're here to help. We travel! A destination meeting is a big deal, and so are we! Let us find the perfect experience to meet your company's needs, budget and expectations.
