5 Innovative Virtual Event Ideas
For those of us who are used to throwing parties and events, the past year has brought both challenges and opportunities. Virtual events, just like in-person events, thrive on innovation and creativity. Reimagining the norm and shining a light on how we connect is even more important today than it has been in the past.
Check out 5 of our most favorite virtual events that we hosted and produced in 2020 and 2021. Let us know your favorite here!
1. Host an Conscious Cocktail Happy Hour
Cheers! One of our favorite virtual event sessions is doing a mix-a-long with alcohol-free beverages, aka mocktails. These fresh, healthy drinks feature health benefits and feel so much more inclusive to those who may not drink, are pregnant, or looking for more conscious connections.
2. Learn Fun Dances Together
Shuffling, disco, swing, bhangra, hip hop, house…. you name it and we can bring in a dance instructor to teach it! This year, we have learned these dances and more, building confidence on the dance floor! Lessons are geared towards absolute beginners, and last from 10 - 30 minutes on average. Virtual dance lessons pair perfectly with a DJ set or happy hour. You can do a lot in 60 minutes with virtual events!
3. Throw a Super Lit Dance Party
We are known for our fun, bright DJ sets that get everyone up and dancing. Yes, we can take requests live in the chat, or you can use our playlisting app, Vibo, to get all of the requests from your guests before the event starts. Add interactive elements to make your dance party more immersive; try having everyone rename themselves and dress up to the party theme. Disco! White-out! Archaeologists! Super heroes!
4. Add Visuals & Storytelling to Your Virtual Event
Do you have a virtual party theme yet? Theme parties consistently pull in more attendees and participation than events that don’t have a theme. We recommend adding on visuals and storytelling throughout the experience. One of our favorites from 2020 was an Ancient Aliens event, where we “flew” to Egypt, discovered a tomb full of gold, and then were beamed up to an alien spaceship for a costume contest and dance party. Email Mike for the link to preview the Ancient Aliens party!
5. Create a Bonafide Performance to Thank Your Team
Your team has been through so much in the past year. Whew! Throw them an epic party and show to thank them for all of their hard work. Both innovative and interactive, our virtual events will both thrill and connect your guests to one another. From meditations to aerialists to yoga to trampoline performances, we have the talent and the capabilities to bring excitement to your event.
