Why You Should Move Your Event Outdoors

Attending a corporate event at a convention center typically starts out as an exciting opportunity to convene outside of the office, but the experience quickly gets as stale as the air inside of the windowless building, and as the novelty loses its luster, attendees will naturally disengage and lose interest in the content. How can you give a breath of fresh air to your event? Consider moving it outdoors.

When One Door Opens…

Deciding to secure an outdoor venue for your upcoming event opens any number of options for organizing engaging and uplifting activities for your attendees. Rather than being limited by any specific structure, you can have much more freedom in determining the perfect location, in creating ways for guests to pair up or work together in groups, and for them to enjoy the energizing benefits of being outdoors—clean air, bright sunlight, and relaxing breezes.

Being Outdoors Is Energizing

One of the number one ways to build feelings of vitality and resiliency is to spend time outdoors, and when it comes to the potentially dull and stifling content of a corporate function, there’s no better way to ensure that guests are going to stay wide awake than to bring the indoors out. Not only that, but by engaging a sense of enjoyment, they will naturally find more value in the content and create better associations with the material.

Outdoor Spaces Foster Interaction

Regardless of the audience, the type of event, or the objective of the occasion, there is an inherent need for the attendees to congregate and to get involved with the content and each other to foster teamwork, networking, and assimilation of information. Indoor spaces hardly allow the opportunity to organize activities like games, which will get the most number of people involved in meeting each other and working together in the least amount of time.

Getting To Spend Time Outdoors is FUN

According to recent labor statistics, more than 80% of Americans hold jobs that keep them sedentary, and still fewer enjoy the outdoors in their off time. Planning an event outside is a great way to show appreciation for your attendees by providing them with an excuse to get outside for a change. Not only will they be grateful for the difference in scenery, you’ll also benefit from the boost in morale and the loyalty generated by your creativity and ingenuity.

Outdoor Events Can Be Less Expensive and Easier to Plan

Depending on the size of your event, hosting it outdoors can save you a lot of time and money when it comes to planning. Décor and lighting requirements are often simplified, heating and cooling systems aren’t necessary when the weather is pleasurable, and crowd management can be a lot simpler without the confines of a building.
