Heyyy, my name is Jade, and I am delighted to see you again for a new edition on radio event discovery. Specialized in corporate events, I
work as an event manager at Petra Event. Today, I have the honor of being received on RED to talk to
you about my profession and to give you some tips on how to successfully design a corporate
seminar.
To start, a business seminar is a professional event organized over one, or several days
but usually over 2days. The
aim of a company seminar is to bring employees together to advance a common project. It allows you to share moments of conviviality and leisure in order to create a team spirit and cohesion.
The seminar contributes to the motivation and performance of a team but also makespossible to take beneficial
choices for the company and toset up a new organization. Between activities and work sessions, the company seminar has become particularly popular and trendy in
recent years.
For this parenthesis on corporate events, we will not take the health situation into
account because of the
conditions that are no longer the same.
Now that you know exactly what a business seminar is, I’m going to give you some tips on how to make
yours a perfect success. Here we go!
- 1st tip : Fully understand client and participant expectations
You will need to fully understand the value of this project. Ask yourself the right
questions, such as :
Is it a seminar to inform, reflect and train?
Is this a motivational seminar to strengthen cohesion?
What are the links between these teams at work?
- 2nd tip : combine work moments and relaxation.
Indeed, you will have to adjust your days by mixing plenary sessions, meetings,
sub-committees in the morning, andteam building activities during the afternoon.
These animations allow transmitting important values to employees while entertaining them. This is a
good time to take stock of your corporate culture. With a relaxed atmosphere, your employees will be able to join it more easily.
- 3rd tip : choose suitable team buildings.
Today there is a very wide range of team building activities available to companies in
order to challenge, entertain and develop team cohesion. The great trend towards digital gamification now
makes possible for us to propose activities that come out of the ordinary Olympics. Depending on the location
of your seminar, you can opt for an outdoor activity (in the castle park, for example) or use a meeting room of
your hotel for an indoor game. Opt also for team-based puzzle games. Creative and artistic activities also work very well.
It is already time for me to return the antenna to my colleagues. It was a pleasure to share with you my
knowledge of my profession. In the meantime, I hope to meet you very soon, same time, same radio to give you anecdotes about my job. Thank you and see you soon!
