opportunity open for the taking</strong></h3> <p>The world is craving connection. </p> <p>Feeling let down by the unkept promises of social media, witnessing increased polarisation in practically every public domain, and living lives or working in jobs that are becoming increasingly isolated and remote, people’s appetites for authentic, in-person human connections with new kinds of people have never been stronger.</p> <p>Seeking to satisfy what is ultimately a fundamental human need – the need for connection – people are (re)turning, in their millions, to events.</p> <p>“It’s the biggest factor,” explains Gabby Aludo, co-founder of Vibes in the Park. “It’s what people are coming for. It’s filling a void.”</p> <div style="height:0px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p>The events people seek, however, are not necessarily those that were sought-after before the pandemic. The <em>make-it-different-and-they-will-come</em> philosophy that was undoubtedly effective in the 2010s is no longer enough. </p> <p>Sure, event-goers still seek novelty and spectacle. They want to feel special. They want to capture and share what they experience as a reflection of their identity. But increasingly they are wanting more.</p> <p>“Some people try so hard to create unique, once-in-a-lifetime, bespoke experiences that they often fall short,” explains Maggie Spicer, experience strategist and founder at WHISK, a brand strategy and hospitality design agency. “Because there ends up being so much attention on the ‘umbrella’ of the experience, that the connectivity is lacking.”</p> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> </div> <div style="padding-top: 32px; padding-right: 32px; padding-bottom: 32px; padding-left: 32px; min-height: 399px;background-position: 50% 50%; background-image: url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1-preview-30x12.jpg); background-image: -webkit-image-set( url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1.jpg") type("image/avif), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1-preview-30x12.webp") type("image/webp), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1-preview-30x12.jpg") type("image/jpeg) ); background-image: image-set( url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1.jpg") type("image/avif), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1-preview-30x12.webp") type("image/webp), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1-preview-30x12.jpg") type("image/jpeg) );" altstyle="padding-top: 32px; padding-right: 32px; padding-bottom: 32px; padding-left: 32px; min-height: 399px;background-position: 50% 50%; background-image: url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1.jpg); background-image: -webkit-image-set( url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1.jpg") type("image/avif), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1.jpg") type("image/webp), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1.jpg") type("image/jpeg) ); background-image: image-set( url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1.jpg") type("image/avif), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1.jpg") type("image/webp), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image04-1.jpg") type("image/jpeg) );" class="wp-block-cover jfei-enhanced-group has-parallax is-light"> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim has-background-dim-30" style="backgroundColor: #8e7f7a;" ></span> <div class="wp-block-cover__inner-container"> <h3 class="wp-block-heading titles_parallax has-background-color has-text-color" style="padding-left:8vw;font-size:8rem;font-style:normal;font-weight:900;text-transform:uppercase"></h3> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained"> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p>Event organisers who thrive in this new age will be those who are intentional about designing and delivering experiences where experiential novelty is not an end in itself but a means to a greater end. </p> <p>The winners will be those who shift their perspective from seeing human connections as a by-product of a unique event experience to recognising human connectivity as the primary factor that drives the event concept, design process and value proposition.<br><br>“For me, connectivity is the principal purpose for having an event,” explains Colin Campbell – innovation ecosystems architect at Nectis, a UK-based agency specialising in network optimisation for innovation.</p> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-default has-small-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:600"> <p class="has-text-color has-medium-font-size" style="color:#f05537"><strong>“If there’s no connection, there’s no event!”</strong></p> <cite>Larissa May, founder of Half the Story</cite></blockquote> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p>While this shift represents a huge opportunity for event organisers willing to think and act differently, it’s not as easy as it may first seem.

Feeling a sense of connection to others is a fundamental human need. This need drives an important human behaviour that underpins the entire existence of the events industry. <em>Humans are gatherers</em>, and I don’t mean gathering in the sense of foraging. I mean gathering in the sense of getting together. We refer to such gatherings as ‘events’.</p> <p>The reason events are so powerful at connecting people is that they create shared experiences. Shared experiences, in turn, create common ground. And it is on common ground that people find each other, literally and metaphorically, despite their differences. </p> <p>When completely different people share an experience, they then have something in common. Having things in common is a powerful connecting force. Numerous studies have shown that even trivial commonalities, like sharing the same birthday or being told someone else likes the same fictional abstract art, lead to people behaving more favourably toward each other.</p> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-default has-small-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:600"> <p class="has-text-color has-medium-font-size" style="color:#f05537"><strong>“I think that is where the biggest value for human connection comes from. When you create an environment where people that would otherwise not meet organically get to know each other.”</strong></p> <cite><strong>Kitty Leering – experience designer and programme curator at DutchBlend</strong></cite></blockquote> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p>Humans have been gathering since the dawn of time. Our very early ancestors gathered mostly for reasons of safety and access to food. Today, with safety risks greatly diminished and food easily accessible from a local market or online retailer rather than a community hunting exercise, we gather at events for other reasons. </p> <p>What has not changed since those early days is that regardless of the practical intention of getting together, we still gather to connect.</p> <p>The lives of early humans were social by design. They lived in small, close-knit social groups. There was less need to seek out connection as a separate activity. Fast forward to today and many people live in partial isolation. Proportionally few people live in the neighbourhood where they grew up. People are increasingly transient, moving to other parts of the country or the world in search of opportunity. </p> <p>And those opportunities, especially in the context of work, are themselves increasingly isolated with more companies embracing hybrid or even completely remote work models. </p> <p>“In their daily lives, many people just aren’t making the connections they need,” explains

more about being part of a group. </p> <p>When the connectivity-related motive is explicit, guests are typically seeking to fill a gap or solve a problem. For example, networking and dating events are generally designed to help participants find a specific type of person from a co-founder or investor to a romantic partner. </p> <p>When implicit, guests may not have a specific problem or type of person in mind. This implicit motivation is described beautifully by Gabby Aludo as “looking to be around people who represent themselves, in order to feel seen and to feel like ‘they get me and are welcoming me into this space’.” </p> <p>The better you’re able to help your guests satisfy their need for connection, the more value you’ll deliver and the better their experience will be. They’ll be more likely to come back. Perhaps more importantly, they’ll be more likely to share their experience and tell others about what you do.

In early human times, being rejected by a group had dire consequences including predation or starvation. While being rejected by a group today generally doesn’t lead to these same outcomes, our primal brain still thinks it could.</p> <p>In other words, when it comes to connecting to new people, event-goers have the odds stacked against them. Signals from their primal brains warn them of potential harm. And unfortunately these signals seem to be getting stronger due to ongoing geo-cultural trends such as continued globalisation, which mean that participants at your events are increasingly likely to be different from each other, culturally or professionally. This is critical because humans are known to be cautious of others who appear different from themselves.</p> <p>This sense of caution is greatest for those who aren’t naturally social, which is a greater percentage of your guests than you may anticipate. </p> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-default has-small-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:600"> <p class="has-text-color has-medium-font-size" style="color:#f05537"><strong>“Many events are still designed for extroverts. And as a result, introverts and ambiverts can feel left behind.”</strong></p> <cite>Maggie Spicer, founder at WHISK</cite></blockquote> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p>Here lies the central challenge for you as an event organiser. </p> <p>You design events that may attract all kinds of people. Even if your guests don’t realise it, part of their motivation for attending your event is to connect to or share an experience with others. At the same time, because the potential of rejection – which is immediate and painful – is more salient than the potential long term value of connection, your guests may gravitate toward the safety of the people they already know or avoid connecting altogether. Event-goers need support in connecting. That’s where you come in.</p> <div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)"> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" style="color:#13002d;"><strong>A mindset shift: from intuitive to intentional</strong></h3> <p>Supporting event-goers in connecting at events has historically been an afterthought, or at least a lower priority than delivering a unique experience. This is understandable. </p> <p>Throughout the so-called ‘experience age’ there was an almost insatiable hunger for all things weird, wild and wonderful. Fuelled by the exponential growth of social media platforms and the proliferation of smartphones – meaning everyone had a camera in their pocket – people demanded sensational over social, preferring instagrammability over interactivity.</p> <p>Since the end of the last decade, and particularly since emerging from the pandemic, the general mood has changed. As highlighted in Eventbrite’s <a href="https://eventbrite-s3.s3.amazonaws.com/marketing/landingpages/assets/2024/TRNDS-2024/docs/d-trnds_UK.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TRNDS2024</a> report, while event-goers still seek quality unique experiences that make them feel special, demand has grown for authentic experiences that allow people to show up as themselves.</p> <p>People seek events where they can connect with others who are different to them, but who share their interests and values. To be effective in satisfying this growing need, event organisers need to adopt a connection-centric mindset.</p> <p>Adopting this new mindset comes naturally for some, but not all. Most event organisers don’t have formal training in sociology, psychology, or even in experience design. Instead, you’re more likely someone who is passionate about a topic, activity or place. </p> <p>Next to your day job you started gathering people to share in your passion and then, as the saying goes, the cart started leading the horse. Your idea began leading a life of its own. Your contacts started telling their contacts and so your community grew. Soon you were seeing more new faces than familiar faces. Connecting people wasn’t a priority. You focused on your passion and the connections sort of happened by themselves.</p> <p>Now you’re at a point where you want to take your events to the next level. Maybe you even want to quit your job or go part time to focus on your event concept. You’ve seen the positive impact your events have on people and you want to do more.</p> <p>Achieving success in this next phase of your concept’s growth requires a mindset shift, from the intuitive approach that has served you well until now, to a more intentional approach that will help you make the right decisions and focus on the right things. </p> <p>It means being intentional in seeking to understand the connectivity-related needs of your growing community and ensuring the events you create are satisfying those needs in the best way possible. It means defining success in the eyes of your guests and intentionally seeking feedback in more organised ways to know how you are doing. </p> <p>This intentional approach to human connectivity will do more than just deliver value to your guests. It will create a kind of stickiness that keeps them coming back. It will transform them from event-goers into evangelists.</p> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> </div> <div style="padding-top: 32px; padding-right: 32px; padding-bottom: 32px; padding-left: 32px; min-height: 399px;background-position: 50% 50%; background-image: url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1-preview-30x9.jpg); background-image: -webkit-image-set( url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1.jpg") type("image/avif), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1-preview-30x9.webp") type("image/webp), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1-preview-30x9.jpg") type("image/jpeg) ); background-image: image-set( url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1.jpg") type("image/avif), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1-preview-30x9.webp") type("image/webp), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1-preview-30x9.jpg") type("image/jpeg) );" altstyle="padding-top: 32px; padding-right: 32px; padding-bottom: 32px; padding-left: 32px; min-height: 399px;background-position: 50% 50%; background-image: url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1.jpg); background-image: -webkit-image-set( url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1.jpg") type("image/avif), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1.jpg") type("image/webp), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1.jpg") type("image/jpeg) ); background-image: image-set( url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1.jpg") type("image/avif), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1.jpg") type("image/webp), url(https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-big2-1.jpg") type("image/jpeg) );" class="wp-block-cover jfei-enhanced-group has-parallax"> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim has-background-dim-30" style="backgroundColor: #695955;" ></span> <div class="wp-block-cover__inner-container"> <p class="has-text-align-center has-large-font-size"></p> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-group has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-11 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="background-color:#f8f7fa;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)"> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" style="color:#13002d;"><strong>Your role as Creator, Conductor and Connector</strong></h3> <p>As a first step to being intentional about human connectivity you should consider the different role(s) you play in the context of your events. </p> <p>Think about how each role brings with it a different set of connectivity-related objectives.

This means being thoughtful and intentional. It means blending the operational aspects of organising events with the creative aspects of designing experiences, or what Maggie Spicer refers to as the “nitty gritty of architecting the experience”.</p> <p> It means being clear about what you’re creating and who you’re creating it for, acknowledging biases and removing pain points or sources of friction to ensure all of your guests feel comfortable, included and welcome.</p> <div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-group has-border-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-border-color has-background-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="border-width:1px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)"> <h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-color has-large-font-size" style="color:#240f4c;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);font-style:normal;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:-1px">Conductor</h3> <p>In your Conductor role, you decide how all of the different components of your event come together. Where creating is about establishing the concept and setting the right stage, conducting is about intentionally facilitating (inter)action between the various components of your event. </p> <p>“I look to orchestrate an evening where all the details are thought through in advance, similar to the concept of the Japanese philosophy of omotenashi” explains Maggie Spicer. O<em>motenashi</em> is about going above and beyond, anticipating guests’ needs before they do. </p> <p>Conducting includes the design of the space itself and how people are able to flow through it. When I was running my global social experiment – Wok+Wine – I sought to “maximise collisions and minimise bottlenecks”. I ensured guests moved through the space in such a way they would naturally bump into each other but never get stuck in any one place.</p> <p>Conducting may also include the activities you design into the experience that prompt, nudge, or otherwise provide people with opportunities to connect.</p> <div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-group has-border-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-border-color has-background-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-10 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="border-width:1px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)"> <h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-color has-large-font-size" style="color:#240f4c;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);font-style:normal;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:-1px">Connector</h3> <p>In your Connector role, you are hands on, literally connecting event-goers with each other. As the host, your guests will look to you as the source of connections, believing you probably know everyone. Depending on the size of your event, it may not be possible to spend time with more than 20 or 30 people over the course of an event. That said, your actions will be noticed and your guests will follow your lead. </p> <p>Being effective in your connector role requires taking a genuine interest in who attends your events and thinking of ways you can add value to them through personally supporting them in making the connections they seek.</p> <p>Real success is achieved when you begin sharing your roles or even delegating them to others. </p> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-default has-small-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:600"> <p class="has-text-color has-medium-font-size" style="color:#f05537"><strong>“We always have cheerleaders, like fun people at the front, and then we have people walking around doing the same thing that we would do – just meeting people and starting conversations.” </strong></p> <cite>Tiffany Taylor-Ross, co-founder at Vibes in the Park</cite></blockquote> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p>The more you can involve your guests, the more powerful this becomes.

Thinking (and acting) in this way can deliver ongoing benefits for yourself, your organisation, and the people you do it all for – your guests.</p> <p>In broad terms, events can be thought of in three phases: pre-event, the event itself, and post-event.

Achieving success in this new era of event creation requires a deep understanding of changing guest needs and increased intentionality in event design. It requires shifting your perspective from seeing the experiential aspect of what you create not as the end in itself but as the means to a greater end – human connection. Here are ten key takeaways to support forward-thinking event organisers looking to amplify your impact and grow your business in this new era of event creation: <ol style="font-weight: bold;"> <li style="margin-bottom:20px;">Prioritise human connectivity as a core objective of event design.</li> <li style="margin-bottom:20px;">Be clear about your connectivity-related objectives. Start with those of your guests and make sure they align with your own.</li> <li style="margin-bottom:20px;">Your participants have likely never been more diverse. Be wary of biases and assumptions and help them to find commonalities despite their differences.</li> <li style="margin-bottom:20px;">Consider your unique and distinct roles in the context of your event. Think about how you might include or delegate certain roles to others to amplify your efforts.</li> <li style="margin-bottom:20px;">Your participants won’t always behave in their own best interest. An intentionally designed experience can help them get over their apprehension and connect naturally.</li> <li style="margin-bottom:20px;">If you’re using technology, see it as a means to enhance, not replace, human connections.</li> <li style="margin-bottom:20px;">Use content as a stimulant, not a safety-net. People are fantastic entertainment, so long as you create the conditions for them to be themselves.</li> <li style="margin-bottom:20px;">Your participants will help you to connect to others, providing you include them and give them something worth sharing.</li> <li style="margin-bottom:20px;">Think in terms of journeys, not moments, and don’t forget to design for the moments in-between.</li> <li style="margin-bottom:20px;">Quantity is a short game. To win in the long game, focus on quality.</li> </ol> </p></div> </div> <div style="height:21px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <div class="wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained"> <p style="text-align:center;
