A conference is a complex event to organise, with a huge financial impact and major strategic importance, since it reflects the health and dynamism of a sector. <\/span><\/p>\n

To offer something beyond a traditional conference programme, that extends it outside of the exhibition space, the organiser must now offer delegates a true experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

This turns the conference into an unmissable and memorable highlight. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

The conference, a powerful marketing tool <\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like all <\/span> communication tools<\/b>, conferences, trade fairs and professional events have to meet the requirements of a strategy based on a series of objectives, constraints and ambitions.<\/span> <\/p>\n

The conference, a meaningful marketing tool<\/span><\/h3>\n

What is the objective of the conference, who are the target audiences, what is the available budget per delegate, what are the strengths of<\/span> competing <\/span> conferences or trade shows?<\/b><\/p>\n

The conference is a symbol. <\/span><\/p>\n

It conveys the values of a sector, provides meaning and promotes the commitments of an entire professional community. In this respect, eco-responsible conferences are now popular with many delegates. They enable us to take a stand on these crucial issues through visible action. <\/span><\/p>\n

By fine-tuning the positioning of the conference, it is then possible to develop <\/span> innovative ideas<\/b> and leave a lasting impression on delegates by engaging them in a <\/span> unique immersive experience<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Experience, a key differentiator for conferences<\/span><\/h3>\n

Nothing is more like a conference than another conference. <\/span><\/p>\n

Plenary sessions, round tables, an exhibition area, a cocktail reception and a gala evening. This has been the standard pattern for decades. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now, with the ease of remote conferences, delegates only travel for one good reason: Pour vivre une <\/span>something extraordinary,<\/b> to discover what they have never seen elsewhere. In short, the trip has to be worth the effort – and the cost! <\/span><\/p>\n

In this context, marketing your conference to make it a unique communication tool, transforming it into a “place to be”, is a powerful way of differentiating yourself and getting a head start on competing events.<\/span><\/p>\n

The aim is not to turn the conference into a collection of gimmicks, but rather to turn it into a genuine vehicle for promoting the sector’s image and adding meaning and value.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Organise a conference punctuated by work sessions and creative breaks<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The core of a conference is its programme. Build on the experience by designing a varied programme <\/span>that engages delegates at all levels.<\/b> Interactive sessions, practical workshops and informal networking should alternate to keep delegates interested.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Choose an inspiring, flexible and adaptable venue<\/a><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

The choice of venue goes beyond a simple physical space. Choose a <\/span>venue that inspires creativity <\/b> and reflects the very essence of the conference.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Modular spaces, innovative architecture and a harmonious overall atmosphere help to create an environment that is conducive to learning and interaction. <\/span><\/p>\n

Make the most of indoor and outdoor spaces, and make it easier for delegates to find their way around (there’s nothing worse than looking for a convention room!). <\/span><\/p>\n

See, test, smell and taste every moment. The experience passes through our senses, and a successful event is one that will have flattered the sensibilities of the delegates. 85% of our actions are initially dictated by our emotions. <\/span><\/p>\n

For delegates, a successful conference is one that evokes an emotion they will never forget. <\/span>Read our article on organising a 2 day conference in Toulouse.<\/a><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conference: combining creativity, conviviality and technology at the heart of the conference<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Incorporate interactive technologies to enhance the experience for delegates. <\/span><\/p>\n

Personalised mobile applications, live voting tools, virtual networking platforms, as well as original design, augmented or virtual reality, holograms, drone light shows, AI – the sky is the limit, as they say!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Putting people and encounters back at the heart of the conference<\/span><\/h2>\n

What every event that falls within the scope of MICE has in common is the idea of bringing together people with shared interests. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Precious networking time outside of sessions<\/span><\/h3>\n

If the customer experience is to be considered interesting, useful and therefore memorable, it is essential that time for exchanges is set aside and arranged as if it were<\/span><\/p>\n

were the highlight of a professional event.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this respect, the programme of visits that complements the work sessions is a major ingredient of this much sought-after unique experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from technical visits, the time spent relaxing is also the most effective time for networking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Break and meal times must be given particular attention. They are a great way to meet people and make new contacts.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Team building and a programme of outings<\/span><\/h3>\n

Surprising guests, strengthening team cohesion, developing links with customers and partners – these are just some of the objectives that the conference helps to achieve, mainly outside of the working sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Toulouse<\/a><\/span>, there are numerous activities designed to create an atmosphere conducive to conversation, which is also part of the conference experience.<\/span> <\/p>\n
