What can we learn from the 2024 Olympics about event planning? The 2024 Olympics may be over, but there’s a lot we can learn from the biggest event of the summer! Hosting a world-class event like the Olympics is no small feat. With nearly $10 billion spent on the Paris Games alone—though still not as costly as Beijing’s £52.7 billion or Tokyo’s $35 billion—it’s clear that planning such an event requires immense resources. Just consider the scale: 329 events across 32 sports and 48 disciplines at 35 different venues 10,714 athletes competing, with 5,084 medals made from Iron sourced from the Eiffel Tower. - Over 9.5 million tickets sold with millions of spectators enjoying both open and closed events - An estimated 13 million meals were served - And, most importantly, the return of live spectators for the first time since COVID-19! So, what can this teach us about event planning? A lot! From managing large crowds to coordinating logistics across multiple venues, the Olympics highlight the importance of meticulous planning and attention to detail. We've even seen the Olympics influence corporate parties with a few sporting events this summer. At Poptop Events UK, we take the stress out of event planning, whether you’re hosting a corporate sports day, a festival, or a private celebration. Let us help you create a winning event, no matter the size. What was your favourite part of the Olympics? Tell us in the comments!

The importance of being on the ground at trade events shouldn’t be underestimated. Whether it's relationship building or keeping up with the iGaming zeitgeist, having back-to-back, genuine conversations about the varied industry opportunities and challenges of partners is the best way to improve your value and know your true place in the market. That’s not to say that there aren’t events where you wonder if they justify that amount of time out of the office. Thankfully, last week’s NEXT.io Summit was certainly not one of those, and it was a breath of fresh air and a pleasure to be in attendance out in Valletta. I’d love to see more gaming events have a stronger focus, instead of being catch-alls for a broad region, and Pierre Lindh⚡️and his team are demonstrating just why that should be the case. The focus on quality panel content that has genuine interest and networking meetups that go beyond just filling a room should be applauded and when planning my calendar in future, these types of events will be at the top of my priority list. #NextSummit #iGamingmarketing #gamblingevents #malta

This summer, Europe is hosting some incredible sporting events ⚽🚴♂️🏅, and I can’t wait! As a sports lover, it’s a time of passion and joy. These events bring us together and create unforgettable moments. As a marketeer and sales expert, I've also witnessed the positive impact these events can have on our economy and well-being. I’m especially excited for our Belgian bars and cafés to be full and lively all summer 🍻. Here under a few examples of how bars & venues can capitalize in their own style on major sports events like the Euro Football Cup, Tour de France, and Olympic Games: 1. Live Broadcasts: Set up big screens and projectors. 2. Special Offers: Offer happy hours, themed menus, and group discounts. 3. Event Decor: Use themed decorations and staff attire. 4. Engagement Activities: Host trivia nights, contests, and raffles. 5. Marketing: Promote via social media, collaborations, and local advertising. 6. Customer Experience: Ensure comfortable seating and quick service. 7. Community Building: Engage with the local community and offer family-friendly options. 8. Online Engagement: Provide live updates and offer online ordering. 9. Much more  It might seem obvious, but implementing just a few of these strategies can make a significant difference, creating a unique and memorable experience for customers. Let’s enjoy this exciting summer together! 🤝🎉 P.S: and it starts today 😉 #sports; #passion; #euro2024; #tourdefrance; #olympics; #horeca
