In the 10 years of experience in organizing corporate events, I often received the question “How can we make the Gala Awards more catchy?”. This is where the creative and innovative approach of the organizer comes in.
The objectives are the celebration, recognition and motivation of the participants, all wrapped in a super atmosphere.
AGENDA
This is based on the “Short & Simple”. When you organize a Gala for a large number of participants, a very precise agenda without too many delays is a step towards the success of the event.
Most of the time, the Gala Awards include dinner, so it must be included in the agenda. For the dinner, a MC is needed to maintain the atmosphere.
It is recommended that the festive toast be done in an out-of-the-box manner, taking the whole festivity into an exciting area for the participants: music, visual elements, videos. Changes like this will surprise even those who participate in this gala every year.
WINNERS
Without extending the agenda too much, it is important to have as many awardees as possible. For example, you can add new award categories or have a list of nominees.
The gratitude brought by colleagues is a trend adopted more and more. The award can take the form of a title such as “People’s Choice Award”. Also, if there was a “Most Valuable Player” award in the past years, it is recommended that it be presented and handed out by the winners of the past years. Imagine the impact on the punisher when he is presented by his colleagues in a personal way.
AWARDS
Give winners prizes that can be reused. From various gadgets to handicrafts customized in the colors of the brand can be a few examples. You can also consider prizes that are thematic with the event or the location.
When the participants feel good, have fun and are involved in the event, they are definitely prepared for success. Are you planning an Awards Gala? Write to us if you want a memorable event for your team.
