Are you planning a smaller event, meeting, tradeshow or conference? Maybe you have a limited budget but want to make a larger impact. Check out the 3 budget-friendly tips below to help scale up your small event!
- Lighting
Substandard lighting can undermine all the effort put into your event and stage design. It also can take away from the photos of the event and the memories you wish to capture. Furthermore, photos represent your future events and help boost attendance as well as visibility for your organization. Consider using an experienced AV partner so you can plan efficient lighting for your event without going over budget. This will help set the stage, make your presenters stand out and engage with your audience. Stage wash lighting can go further to highlight your brand and event, ensuring even lighting with soft beams that cover a wide area. You can even zoom in on specific beams and adjust their angles for special effects, something that photographers will notice!
- Drapery
Your stage is the most seen aspect of your event as you share content with your attendees. Having a visually appealing stage will help take your event from average to more professional. It is important to choose complimentary materials for your drapery along with colors, patterns, texture and overall combinations used together. For example, using a pleated drape backdrop such as velour can make a large impact on your stage and is further enhanced with simple lighting. What better backdrop for your photos!
- Digital Podium
The average person does not think much when they see a podium, which gives you the opportunity to enhance the event experience by using a digital podium with your company logo or a digital graphic of your choice displayed on it. Consider what message or impression you would like to leave with your attendees and plan your digital podium graphic accordingly. As an added bonus, a large portion of the photos of your event will include the stage and with the digital podium you can include your brand in each photo. This will help increase the value of your event and leave a lasting impression on your attendees.
Don’t forget to use these 3 tips when planning your next small event, and enjoy the benefits of enhancing the event experience while staying within budget!
