Virtual and Hybrid Events

The growth of virtual continues into 2021 and it’s clear that we haven’t seen the last of good old Zoom. Now more than ever virtual events are part of our day to day interactions with colleagues and industry professionals.

LOOKING TO ENHANCE YOUR NEXT EVENT?

Not only can we assist with the production and overall planning of your event, but we also have a range of suppliers who can help to enhance the occasion – just see below!

Post Conference Entertainment

After a full day conference wouldn’t it be great if your guests could stay on your chosen platform and experience some amazing entertainment to wind down with?

We’re experts at providing you with unique suggestions to enhance your evening. Why not add a comedy show from the next rising star or one of the big names in the industry? Likewise, we love everyone to be up out their seats dancing so a DJ to end your event might be more up your street!

Bespoke Teambuilding and Regular Ice Breakers

Where would the world of virtual events be without traditional team building? You’re in the minority if you haven’t yet taken part in a team building activity online with your team or even your close friends.

With some of the greatest suppliers on hand we can recommend an activity to suit all group sizes and types, from bespoke quizzes with lots of interactive challenges and games, to CSI Activities, Musical Bingo Sessions and Escape Rooms. Motivation and engagement during a daytime conference is key and who doesn’t love a bit of forced fun!?

Virtual Food and Drink Experiences

One of our ultimate favourite enhancements; FOOD AND DRINK – what’s not to love? A huge hit in the virtual world to brighten up anyone’s day and a great add on to a virtual conference.

This for us is the most bespoke enhancement and with a great range of suppliers we can create any experiences, from themed gourmet cook-alongs with celebrity chefs to bespoke cocktail masterclasses. We have an option for all and to suit all audiences to bring some fun to the table!

Pre-Conference Health and Wellbeing Sessions

New Year, New You. As many individuals have taken up health and fitness during the pandemic, adding an element of this to your virtual conference could really engage and motivate your participants ahead of a full day in front of a screen.

Popular ideas are a morning yoga session or a lunchtime high intensity energiser. With our health professionals on hand we have an option to suit all. We can also organise a full day programme including multiple breakout rooms all dedicated to health and wellbeing. The options are endless!

Corporate and Team Gifting Services

Who doesn’t love receiving a gift in the post as a nice surprise? Here at The Collection we love to hear ideas from our clients on what they would like to gift their team or clients as an incentive or a nice treat to end a day’s virtual event.

We have a high level of expertise in organising many different gifts with various price points for our clients including food hampers, pre-mixed cocktails and drinks, branded merchandise and experience vouchers. The options are simply endless and we can work with you to produce the best gifts that suit your recipients the best.

Hybrid Events

Hybrid events combine the best of both worlds – in person and virtual – to create an experience that is completely immersive for attendees, whether they’re at home or in the conference room.

Thanks to their accessibility, flexibility and cutting-edge tech, hybrid events are the perfect solution for event organisers as we slowly emerge out of the pandemic. Delegates can tune in from all over the globe, and interact in real time with speakers, activities and discussions. Meanwhile, in-person attendees can benefit from the digitisation of the event, taking their experience to the next level.

Here at The Collection we can help design your hybrid event from start to finish, working alongside our production partners to bring you a bespoke offering. From finding the perfect venue to arranging the tech and sourcing the entertainment, our hybrid event management service will allow you to deliver something really special to your guests.
