For a large-scale corporate event, plan for a professional videographer, charging stations, clear wayfinding at every stage and on-site management that keeps the event flowing.

One of the most overwhelming commitments you could make is to plan a large corporate event for your company. If you’re in charge of this important project, your best option is to partner with a company that specializes in corporate events. If you’re unsure where to start in the planning process, the Sight & Sound experts are here to share some crucial pieces of advice

CAPTURE THE IMPORTANT MOMENTS WITH A PROFESSIONAL VIDEOGRAPHER

It’s no secret that digital footage is invaluable to a company for marketing purposes. When you hire a videographer to record speakers and attendee discussions, you create valuable content that can be shared for years.

Use the long-form footage to create short clips perfect for your website and social media. Hours of video allows your business to advertise the event and entice new attendees to join. Short social media posts and occasional emails used to be ideal forms of promotion. These days, it’s all about high-quality video clips and interactive digital content.

CHARGING STATIONS KEEP YOUR ATTENDEES PLUGGED IN

Nothing’s worse than your phone dying midway through an important event. Give your attendees the peace of mind they need with charging stations for all of their electronic devices. If you expect people to use phones, laptops and iPads, provide the necessary connectivity to stay charged.

Charging stations are an essential piece of equipment to rent for medium-to-large corporate events. Sight & Sound Productions provides modern stations to accommodate devices of all kinds.

ELIMINATE CONFUSION AT EVERY STAGE OF THE EVENT

Arrival and departure checkpoints should be free of frustration for every attendee. Whether you plan to offer valet parking, free transportation or wayfinding signage, you must clearly communicate all information to your attendees in advance.

The last thing you want is attendees to show up frustrated or exhausted. Communicate with them through scheduled email blasts, traditional mail and text greetings with crucial info.

VP of Marketing, Sight & Sound Productions
Victoria Staszewski is VP of Marketing at Sight & Sound Productions, Florida’s event production company for the conferences, galas and trade shows that can’t go wrong. She joined the company in 2012 as a marketing coordinator, back when the job meant photographing events, mocking up stage looks for project managers and helping write RFPs. She ran marketing for Sight & Sound and its sister company Mugwump Productions as Marketing Manager and then Marketing Director for a decade before moving into the VP role in 2023. Before Sight & Sound, she ran game-day operations and video-board content for USSSA events in Orlando, which is where she learned that a show is only as good as the crew behind the screen. She writes about what happens between the first call and load-out: the planning decisions that keep a general session on time, the AV choices that make a hybrid meeting work for the people who aren’t in the room, and the questions most planners don’t know to ask until it’s late. When a planner reaches out through this site, Victoria is the first person who reads it.
