Festivals That Are Influencing Corporate Meetings and Events
Date
June 3, 2018
According to a Nielsen report, 32 million people attend a music festival in the U.S. each year. So, it’s no surprise that companies and associations are opting for this new approach to reach employees and stakeholders.
Festivals are fun, inspiring and technologically advanced. But, most importantly, they are engaging and immersive—two things every company strives for when communicating to staff. Are you thinking of ways you can leverage this trend to drive creativity and technology at your meeting or event? Or, does the prospect of the format make your head spin?
Let LEO Events, a global events agency that connects brands to people through powerful moments, show you how it’s done. Kevin Brewer, Principal, and Kevin Underwood, SVP, will share tips on integrating this exciting, fresh concept into your business gatherings and events—and, they'll guide you through the dos and don’ts of festival management.
