IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGY
Use virtual reality to provide immersive experiences like virtual site visits or interactive simulations based on conference themes.
Video mapping is an absolute must! Create dynamic, interactive projections for your walls, ceilings and stages. This technique lets you turn any flat surface into a dynamic screen, an ever-evolving visual experience straight out of your imagination, tailored to your unique needs.
Holograms are also a terrific way to add diversity and promote your partners by displaying their logos. It’s easy and effective!
AUDIOVISUAL DESIGN
Why not create a dynamic scenography by choosing modular sets that can change over and over again throughout the conference! Use totems or small-format LED screens to modify the background in your stage area and highlight individual sessions, key events or featured presenters.
LIGHTING
Don’t neglect this simple, powerful design element. With careful planning and a highly experienced lighting technician, you can provide customized lighting for each presentation and every desired ambience. Lighting effects can make key moments stand out, create a specific atmosphere, or even react in real time to what’s happening onstage.
INTERACTIVE INTERFACES
Use an interactive interface like Slido! It allows attendees to participate in real-time surveys, and facilitates interactions between the audience and your presenters.
Set up interactive kiosks in break areas or during meals. Participants can use them to explore multimedia content, take quizzes, and interact with digital presentations.
You can also create videos to recap the event or show conference highlights. Play the videos between sessions, or share them after the event. Use creative montages to summarize key moments and main points in an engaging way.
SENSORY EXPERIENCES
Create break areas or networking spaces with immersive audiovisual installations. For example, let participants’ movements and interactions affect certain interactive audio and visual elements by influencing the featured sounds and images. LED floors are ideal for these kinds of interactions!
Incorporate special effects by synchronizing smoke, lasers, or lighting with the music and presentations. Elements like these can make the beginning or final moments of a session truly spectacular.
CUSTOMIZATION AND UNIQUE EXPERIENCES
Create personalized videos and teasers for upcoming sessions. Short, funny ads or whimsical video clips can help keep your audience engaged! You can also make these little videos prior to the conference and send them out as invitations to future participants.
Set up creative photo booths with conference-themed backgrounds and customizable special effects. Provide options like hashtags and QR codes for sharing the photos on social media in real time.
CREATIVE FEEDBACK AND LIVE REACTIONS
Set up stations where participants can share their opinions using visual interfaces like digital feedback tablets or interactive art installations.
Post participants’ reactions and comments in real time during sessions using live feedback screens.
This final tip is based, not on the latest tech, but on our own expertise: breakout rooms. They’re a must for every conference! People often underestimate the importance of having a monitor in every single breakout room. If your budget allows, treat yourself by making sure there’s always someone available, throughout the conference, to help with anything you or your attendees may need! It’ll make the conference experience even better! – Erwan Dufour, Director of Business Development, Creativ Nation.
