The weather will soon be getting warmer and everyone will want to be outdoors. So these corporate event planning ideas for spring and summer are just in time. You can tie the seasons to your message and use the environment to create something truly unique for attendees. Plus, you may even find venues and vendors offering great deals for corporate event services. Spring and summer are not considered peak season by most corporate event suppliers.
Here are some ideas to consider when creating your spring and summer events:
Consider Unique Event Locations:
For tight budgets, a great location could be right outside of your door. Parking lots are an often overlooked area that keeps people close to the office while offering a change of pace. A parking lot picnic can give employees a great afternoon break. Burgers and hotdogs on the grill along with corn on the cob and grilled veggies make everyone's day. Or consider a Barbecue Cook-off with employees creating their best Que! Everyone could vote for a winner.
Other unusual locations for summer and spring corporate events can include a local winery. An outdoor wine tasting provides a stress relieving event that bonds co-workers. Botanical gardens are another venue to consider as employees can explore the beauty of nature.
There is nothing like a day at the ballpark either. Have your team cheering on the home team for a fun activity. Major and minor league options are available for different size budgets.
Keep The Weather In Mind:
As gorgeous as the weather can be, spring and summer are subject to fluctuating conditions. A brutally hot day can wilt the most enthusiastic people. Rain and thunderstorms can pop up without a moments notice. Be sure to create a contingency plan for any outdoor events. A tent company could erect a large canopy to shade and protect your guests in the event of rain or intense heat from the sun. A nearby building could become the venue if storms come in. Make sure to have plenty of water to keep attendees hydrated. Advance planning can keep the unexpected from ruining your day.
Plan Some Entertainment:
Give everyone an extra perk by arranging some corporate entertainment. You've got employees out of the office so take the opportunity to create some real benefits. Corporate comedy entertainers can reduce stress and provide lasting benefits. Co-workers will laugh, relax, and have more fun.
Pull In Spring & Summer Ambiance:
Create a theme that sets your event apart from all others. A beach party theme could come complete with volleyball and waterslides. A paradise vacation may feature a reggae band and offer massage tables for relaxation. Even the simple addition of fresh flowers and fruit can highlight the season and add to the feel of your function.
