Summary
  • Explicitly recommends putting together a dedicated planning team for larger corporate events, rather than relying on a single person

  • Openly names typical risk factors: fully booked locations, bad weather, sick leave, or vacation conflicts

You've been tasked with planning your next corporate party and your head is spinning? So many requirements need to align, a budget needs to be considered, and as many people as possible should be able to attend and remember the event fondly. Maybe you're planning a corporate event for the first time, or want to avoid repeating last year's holiday party mistakes. In recent years, we've also seen a trend toward more virtual and hybrid events. These new event formats require new approaches and a shift in traditional event organizing.

There's a lot to consider when planning an event, from choosing the optimal date to an entertaining program to individual catering requirements. The effort and requirements involved depend not least on the size of the company. For larger corporate events, you should therefore put together a team and look for support among your colleagues.

Of course, even with the best planning, things can go wrong: locations get booked up or cancel, the weather is bad, too many colleagues are sick, or the event collides with vacation planning. Mistakes and problems can never be completely ruled out, but with our tips, you'll plan your corporate party in a structured, as stress-free as possible way.
