Business & Corporate Events ideas

• Golf day with prizes, dinner, presentation and overnight stay.  Could be in the UK or Europe.  Spain and Portugal offer some of the best event destinations with all inclusive packages
• Away days - Helicopter ride or plane charter with lunch
• Sailing – day out or corporate day at a Regatta – Cowes Week, Dartmouth Regatta, Fastnet Race or Plymouth GB Firework championships
• Sports package – Football, Rugby, Horse Racing, Horse Trials (Badminton)
• Special interest – Chelsea Flower show, Royal Agricultural shows
• Tradeshows and Exhibitions - Entertain clients in the evening – Dinner, Tenpin bowling, Go-karting, Theatre, Opera.  (Try to avoid paint balling.  Nothing worse than shooting your best customer!)
• Invite customers to a Business Dinner, Gala, Award Ceremonies and Charity Functions – invite your best clients to one of these type of events as a guest especially if they have a personal interest.
Staff events - can be departmental or company-wide
• Celebrating the completion of a project can be combined with special recognition awards for certain employees, in addition to a mini-seminar gearing up for the next project. This can then be accompanied by a nice catered lunch and a short comic video.
• Team Building and Staff incentives
• Summer or Winter Ball
• Family fun day – bouncy rides, it’s a knock out, village fete, a big picnic, day on the beach – could include a community help event (see below)
• Community based event – helping the community. Many organizations have valuable ways to give back to the community, giving a helping hand to a segment of the economy can accomplish a great deal.
• Fitness and well being day – Get your staff fit and thinking about keeping fit for life
• Green/environment days - donating time and resources for habitat improvement and wild life preservation
• Public clean up day
• Helping hand at Christmas with a soup kitchen for the homeless
Conferences and Seminars

• Excellent live event to bring together link minded individuals to exchange information, and form connections or get educated on the latest trends and progress.
• Space can be allocated for exhibits, speakers, workshops, presentations and evening conference networking/party event
• Need to ensure the event engages with the audience and leave them with wanting to come back next year

Other Events

• Fundraising Event - Raffles, Buy a Guy for the day, Jeans day, Swap job roles to the highest bidder or everyone pays a set amount and its pot luck as to what's pulled out of the bag....
