How To Avoid The Boring Lecture Feel At Your Next Event

Almost all of us remember the terrible feeling of being in a boring lecture or classroom; fighting the tiredness and looking at the clock that doesn’t move and wishing it would all end. Hopefully this is a distant memory and does not resemble the last event you attended or, worse still, put on.

Of course the content is king and will hopefully provide the most engagement but there are some simple things you can do to ensure that no matter what sort of show your speakers put on (and you can’t always control their ‘off days’), you event will not resemble the worst of  your school or college days.

Irresistible food experience

Regardless of how much you attempt to distinguish your event, many will just remember the food. Average food will bore but great food can inspire. It’s not just how it tastes but the way it’s served, how it looks, smells and how you explain where the ingredients are sourced and the passion that’s gone into it, that make up the food experience.

An interactive audience is engaged

Just like at school, the least receptive class or audience is the least engaged. When children nod off, good teachers will moderate their style; pose questions or attempt to regain the initiative. Your event should be no different: ensure you have an engaging program and make it easy for your attendees.

Think about what’s boring to your audience

There are aspects of almost any subject that are technical. While these details may be fascinating for real enthusiasts, for most attendees they must be correctly pitched to not seem boring. Pad details out with relevant information and give out ‘cool’ instead of ‘dull’ knowledge.

Smarter smartphones

For many reaching for the smartphones is a default reaction to a boring situation – we almost can’t control it. As an event manager, you need to dominate this space as well as the venue. Ensure you have a great app, that you have screens displaying the best content submitted by attendees and, above all, that you make it interactive.
