What comes to mind when you think about meetings and conferences? Aside from being organizational necessities, they typically follow the same format—introductions, meetings, workshops, keynote speakers, and a conclusion. More organizations are opting to use spaces and work sessions a little differently, from adding some zest to their catering to using stages to showcase people’s work.
So, how do you make the event stand out? Here are a few suggestions from our team at TCU Place.
Make Use of Our Stage
We have some amazing and accommodating meeting rooms at TCU, and while we’re always happy to set them up to your liking, why not consider using our well-known stage for your session? Not only will your speakers be clearly visible to your attendees, but the area is large enough for an entire event! Use our red carpet, green room, dressing rooms, or we even move ALL of your guests onto the stage for an exciting new perspective! We can take the typical table and chairs set up and turn it on its head for both engagement and entertainment purposes!
Create the Right Mood
Do you want to bring a certain environment to life, and keep everyone safe and comfortable inside? We can do so with our audiovisual capabilities. You don’t have to worry about climate control, whether you want to create a farm feel, carnival, a winter’s night, or a zen theme—we can do it all. We can develop the exact ambiance you desire, without the risk of weather dampening your plans. This also includes music—keep things moving, focused, energetic, or relaxing depending on your needs during various times throughout the event.
Make Your Event A Treat for the Senses
An essential part of conferences and meetings is the food. How do you liven things up from the regularly scheduled meat and cheese found at these types of events? Talk to our catering team about adding some tastes with personality, whether it’s different flavours, types of spreads, spices, or a new take on traditional treats.
Another way to stay in people’s minds? Create a space for #InstagramMoments. Whether you want to set up a booth with hats, masks, and signs, or have a themed backdrop with fun frames and silly attire, we can help you get that set-up where it makes the most sense. Depending on the photographer you hire, you can send people home with keepsakes or email them the delightful photos from this project.
Every detail matters to our entire team at TCU Place. Our outstanding convention centre offers ample space, cutting-edge technology, and professional services like event planning and delicious catering.
For nearly five decades, we’ve helped clients and guests create experiences that they’ll never forget. Let’s work together to create the event you’ve always wanted but weren’t sure was ever possible. Contact us today to book your next meeting, conference, or special event at TCU Place.
