What’s driving this trend, and how can events better manage hospitality to deliver more value to sponsors and attendees alike? #FrenchOpen #SportsBusiness #EventManagement #Hospitality

I was recently engaged as the emcee for a 2,000-person corporate Dinner & Dance at a very special and unconventional venue, and oh my! The experience for both me and the guests was exhilarating! This incredible event led me to reflect on the upward trend of corporate companies moving their events to unconventional venues rather than the usual hotel settings. 💡 Why the Shift in recent years? 1. Evolving Expectations: Attendees crave engaging experiences, moving beyond standard setups 2. Breaking Monotony: Unconventional venues inject freshness, reducing event fatigue. 3. Customization: Unique spaces allow for tailored experiences that resonate with brand identity. 4. 💰Pricing: While hotels can be pricey, many unconventional venues offer competitive rates, enhancing both creativity and budget flexibility. #emceesylvia #amazingvenue #venue #sgeventvenue #eventvenue #singaporefemalemcee #highenergylevelemcee #emceeofsingapore #sgfemaleemcee #events2024 #ISAP #singapore #2000guests #dinneranddance

Mikko Ketovuori is the author of Socionomics: How Social Mood Shapes Society. I had the opportunity to read the original Finnish Language version and the recently published English copy is updated to current events and just as thought provoking. https://lnkd.in/gx7eq9hG I, like many others, saw the drivers of our happiness or dissatisfaction as being events that corralled social mood. Socionomics disagrees and sees that it is social mood that creates the events. These are often multi-year cycles. My own interpretation is that just as societies look to break away from the past, the past, harking back to traditional ‘values’, grabs our attention; we long for things that were core to the lives of our parents and grandparents. One example of this is the 2012 London Olympics. A time of welcome, of reaching out. Four years later the UK voted to leave the EU, the fear of the ‘other’ overwhelming our openness. Why does Russia repeat, again and again, border expansion? Fear of the other along with a whimsical belief that the world should bow to its power. Markets do the same. House prices, share prices, commodities. Part of Mikko’s thesis dovetails with the works of Robert Prechter and his firm, Elliott Wave International - Global Market Analysts will be joining Mikko in London on April 24th. If you’re interested in joining us please do come back to me.

It is a good time for hospitality businesses to ensure they have identified the events and occasions this year that may require a Temporary Event Notice (TEN). As of the 1 January 2024, a Premises’ TEN entitlement has reduced back to the pre-Covid levels of 15 TENs covering no more than 21 days. Here is a list we have compiled of some of the sporting events coming up in 2024: https://bit.ly/3TT40oA
