If you think the next corporate event you hold is going to be a slog, you’re thinking wrong! From fancy water bottles to themed photo booths, there are many ways to create a memorable corporate event that grows excitement around your company and mission.

If you follow these tips, people won’t just remember the event. They’ll remember how worthwhile it was for their career.

Remember that corporate events will dominate the event landscape through 2026. Make sure your event is one to be remembered. Without further ado, here’s how to make a good corporate event:

1. Company Swag

It’s worth investing in company swag. Ensure attendees use your custom items long after the event is over. I have a pen I use fondly to this day from a good corporate event.

You can label custom bottled water with our company logo and spread them out for easy access at the event. Every time an attendee takes a sip, they will be reminded that you invested in these bottles because you care about them and want them to be hydrated.

Other custom products like lanyards, pins, pens, t-shirts, and flags are also special to attendees. It’s an easy way for an event to be noticed on social media and in daily life. I’ll give you bonus points if the attendees win limited and more expensive company merchandise through a raffle or contest.

Even if in-person events aren’t possible this year, I’ve never said no to a care package. Company swag at home can enhance a virtual event.

2. Photobooth

This is a hit at birthday parties, bat mitzvahs, retirement parties, and weddings alike. I know it because I’ve lived it. Nothing screams fun like a photo booth or a custom photo area!

Not only can you create a custom photo template for your company, but you can also have attendees post a photo on social media with a special hashtag. The photos attendees take home from this event may decorate their apartment or home, and it will have your company logo on it!

3. Ask the Attendees

What do your attendees want out of the event? Easy networking or key insights? Asking them will eliminate a lot of confusion and will help you hone in on the purpose of your event.

Never hesitate to reach out to the people attending the party. Their insights are invaluable when it comes to corporate event planning. Find out how your event can exceed their expectations and create a lasting impact on their career.

4. Pick a Theme

I don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars preparing my costume for your event, so choose a theme that someone could easily assemble from their closet! A theme is a fun challenge for your partygoers and it’s also an automatic icebreaker. It’s also a surefire way to create a memorable event.

Whether an attendee went all out or dressed to the theme casually, they’ll talk to others who followed a similar suit. You can hold photo contests on social media and even pick a costume winner! This drives friendly competition like nothing else.
