Do you also feel the asthenic vibe of the approaching winter??❄️

With capital city traffic, quite a lot of fog in the morning and two or three seasons during the day, cold nose when you get to the office and full coffee or tea. It’s clear, winter is coming.

Word is circulating around the Universum office about this winter’s trends, that we have them, that we don’t have them, that we seem to be a bit tired of them and that we prefer to be unique… so a little jotting down of ideas surely helps.

It is not difficult to see how events support the development of the company. ?️‍♀️?

Claaaaar events strengthen relationships between people. They can relax the atmosphere in the team and turn it into a cool one, they strengthen the relationship between colleagues, the relationship with partners and/or customers and give us reasons to continue development. Regardless of the field in which we work, end-of-year events are the best opportunity to celebrate results and set plans for the future.

Whether we’re talking about awarding people or talking about events between companies, activating a brand or changing the thinking of a team, all opportunities to generate networking must be fruitful. By the way, have you read the article about brand activations in big festivals? It’s full of vibes à la Universum.

When all trends lead to digitization and all-around technology, then we invest more in face-to-face networking opportunities. ?? ??‍♀️

We tend to lose contact with those around us when we are assaulted by technology, at home or in the office, on the road or at events… we feel the disconnectionstep by step. That is precisely why we emphasize, in every event, the experience of the participants. With the help of impeccable implementations, we encourage the full involvement of those present, during the entire event. And we are no exception when we make the most of technology in our events. And yes, we do use it. 🙂

In the event industry, trends come and go, especially winter trends. ?☃️

Because we’re talking about networking events here, and because we’re saying Winter is coming more and more often, we’re blogging the most important ideas for this winter. Winter events are best thought out in the spring. And no, it’s not early at all! Because the availability of some locations is not an element to be neglected. So we suggest you follow this “trend” every year.

Namely: reserve your location in advance. ⏰

Also, consider the days of the week. Why? They bring super flexibility for you at the location, you have lower costs and the guarantee that no one puts pressure on you with other events held in parallel. Pluuuuus, you have every chance to have a lot more people come to your party than on the weekend (because in the winter we tend to go out more and more often…:P).

The event coordinator is like the wedding planner. ??‍?⚖️??‍?

You clearly want a stress-free event! You have time to drink, have fun, socialize with all the colleagues you don’t see very often. Beyond that… the dedicated project manager probably has more experience managing the event than anyone in-house. Trust and hire a company specialized in events to take care of every detail for your party. And contrary to what the world says in the market, the investment in the event is guaranteed to be much more cost-effective because… well… the experience in events brings advantages of its own. 😀

If you want to give for Christmas, do it! But don’t forget to help the rest of the year too! ?

Or whenever you have the chance? When we talk about humanitarian campaigns in winter, the world tends to activate instantly. Go for gift drives, fundraisers, landscaping and the list goes on. There are a multitude of ways in which companies can increase humanitarian efforts, contributing to local, national or global sustainable development.

Events that include CSR components are extremely important because companies generally have a lot of resources to make real changes. In addition, consumers sense when a company is doing something that makes a real difference and is fair to everyone, regardless the cause.

So don’t be afraid to propose social responsibility components in the events you create. What’s more, see the article that I wrote some time ago about the benefits of CSR in organizations and let us know when you want to help! 🙂

Inspiration is right in front of us. ?

We don’t shy away from staging themed parties inspired by movies, important events or events that have an impact, either nationally or internationally. This winter we come up with more and more original ideas, obviously customized for the location, the number of people and the budget we have. And as an idea, in addition to the various themes, this year we also believe a lot in the simple Christmas theme. When was the last time you went to a Christmas themed… Christmas event?

A theme is not just a name! ?

We are convinced that we can get all the butter out of a concept regardless of the work palette. There are all kinds of effective (and sometimes not very expensive) solutions through which you can use a party theme head-to-head: the well-known props (or props), the decoration and background from photobooths, the presentation and elements from the candy bar, visuals, decorations and lights that help you completely transform the atmosphere of a location. We have some concepts presented here, but clearly the palette is much bigger.

 

The conclusion is clear! What we can do this winter for you and your team is just a form away:
