Nailing the visual element of your event is key to maintaining the interest and engagement of your delegates. Of the five senses, ‘sight’ is often a fundamental aspect of shaping a first impression, which can have a huge impact on event success. In fact, <a href="https://institute.uschamber.com/what-makes-a-good-first-impression/#:~:text=We%20have%20all%20heard%20the,words%20you%20say%20(verbal).">55% of first impressions are made purely by what we see</a>.</p> <p>At the Royal Society of Chemistry at Burlington House, we understand the significance of creating visually stunning environments that inspire. They set the tone, create ambiance, create synergy with a company’s branding, and enhance the overall sensory experience of your guests.</p> <p>From the moment attendees step into the venue, their eyes are drawn to the colours, lighting, and decor, all of which contribute to their overall perception and enjoyment. Here, we share the importance of sight in events and offer top tips for event planners to master the visual element of your next event.</p> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <hr> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <h2>1. Incorporate colour</h2> <p><a href="/locations-contacts/venue-hire/news/2023/aug/the-importance-of-colour-psychology-at-an-event/">Colours evoke emotions and set the mood for any event</a>. Whether you’re planning a corporate meeting, a <a href="/locations-contacts/venue-hire/product-launches-and-exhibitions/">product launch</a>, or a grand conference, choosing the right colour palette is crucial. Bold, vibrant colours can energise a space, while softer hues can create a calm and inviting atmosphere. Consider the message you want to convey and select colours that align with your event’s theme and purpose. Additionally, incorporating your brand colours can reinforce brand identity and recognition among attendees.</p> <p>With <a href="/locations-contacts/venue-hire/weddings/">weddings</a>, for example, a colour scheme is often one of the first decisions which then dictates so many further choices: flowers, dresses, suits, table decorations and many more aspects.</p> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <hr> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <h2>2. Invest in professional lighting</h2> <p>Lighting plays a critical role in enhancing the visual appeal of your event. It can highlight key areas, create focal points, and set the overall ambiance. Professional lighting design can transform a plain venue into a dynamic and engaging space. Use a mix of ambient and accent lighting to create depth and dimension. For instance, spotlighting the stage during presentations or using coloured LED lights to create a dramatic effect can significantly enhance the sensory experience.</p> <p>Going hand-in-hand with colour, our portable uplighters are just one way to achieve versatile, impactful lighting, with the ability to set them to any colour and set the mood of the room. This is especially useful for brands that are hosting an event offsite but need to ensure the space still looks and feels like their own.</p> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <hr> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <h2>3. Incorporate visual technology</h2> <p>In today’s tech-savvy world, integrating visual technology into your event can elevate the experience to new heights. Large LED screens, projection mapping, and interactive displays can captivate your audience and make your event more engaging. These technologies not only provide visual stimulation but also facilitate better communication and information dissemination.</p> <p>This year, we invested in upgraded technology to make the virtual element of hybrid events a better visual experience for all involved. People are fed up with pixelated, jumpy visuals of virtual attendees joining them via a screen, making prioritising the visual aspect more important than ever in events.</p> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <hr> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <h2>4. Thoughtful decor and suitable layouts</h2> <p>The decor and layout of your venue are fundamental to creating a visually appealing environment. Thoughtfully designed decor elements such as floral arrangements, table settings, and stage designs can add elegance and sophistication to your event. Additionally, consider the flow and layout of the space to ensure that it is functional and visually pleasing. Create designated areas for networking, relaxation, and presentations to enhance the overall experience for your guests.</p> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <hr> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <h2>5. Aesthetic catering</h2> <p>Focusing on the ‘aesthetic’ of food and drink has hugely grown in popularity with the growth of social media, meaning that making <a href="/locations-contacts/venue-hire/catering/">catering</a> options photo-worthy is a great way to make your event memorable. Whether a buffet, sit-down dining experience or just a sweet treat and a coffee, consider how to make it a feast for the eyes as well as tasting exceptional.</p> <p>Our multi-award-winning in-house caterers, Houston & Hawkes, are experts in culinary masterpieces and strive to make catering more than just a necessary accompaniment to events, but an experience that starts with being visually appealing.</p> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <hr> </div> </div><div class="block a2maintextblock "> <div class="content-block hashtaglink"> <p>Mastering the visual element of your corporate events is essential to creating a memorable and impactful experience for your attendees.
