Online, we`re more connected than ever before, yet real-world isolation keeps growing.
Our report defines this shift as the Anti-Social Era, a trend that’s reinventing the role events play for attendees. More than just gatherings, events are becoming one of the last places people can experience genuine connection and trust.
Curious to learn more about what this means for the future of events and how you can respond?

Corporate events are entering a new era, and it’s about more than just content or bigger stages.
Our latest trends report explores where corporate events are headed in 2026 and beyond, from the rise of connection as the new ROI to why authenticity and human experience now outperform perfection. The standout insight? Over half of attendees now say connection, not content, is the #1 reason they show up.

We’re excited to share that two of our team members will be taking the stage at MPI New England Chapter’s Educational Institute this Tuesday 🎤✨
Liz Hunt will present Emotional Intelligence for Event Professionals, diving into why EI is the secret ingredient behind exceptional event leadership. From managing stress and high expectations to navigating tough conversations, Liz will explore how understanding your emotional triggers can elevate decision-making, sharpen communication, and build the resilience today’s event professionals need to thrive.
Chris Luebke will lead Gen Z Matters (They Don’t Care About the Events from Yesteryear) — a fast-moving session unpacking how Gen Z is reshaping expectations around events and incentives. He’ll explore what this generation values (authenticity, co-creation, and purpose), what turns them off, and how to adapt your programs without leaving anyone behind. Attendees will walk away with practical ways to design experiences that feel relevant, energizing, and worth talking about.

We’d love to see you there! 👋

This attention to detail is what makes a program truly special, highlighting and recognizing each individual on this trip.

On the second evening of our program, guests got to experience NYC from an entirely new perspective.
Passing Liberty Island, the charted ferry made the journey part of the experience. Nearly 90 guests got to travel across the harbor, leaving the city bustle behind for a memorable dinner at the historical Ellis Island. 🛳️
A reminder that the journey can be just as important as the destination.

A seamless event starts long before the first guest arrives. ✈️
An on-site visit can make all the difference, allowing you to identify potential challenges, understand the attendee journey, and fine-tune every detail that brings a program to life.
If that isn’t enough, on-site visits provide an opportunity to build strong relationships with hotel and resort partners, being the first step toward future collaboration and success.
Exceptional events begin when strategy meets firsthand experience.

This is how you make an impact! 💥
On day three of our Morocco program, guests traveled into the Atlas Mountains to visit local Berber villages still recovering from the 2023 earthquake. Through pre-trip donations, we helped stock a school with supplies, soccer uniforms, a new library, and supported a women’s co-op with rug-making resources.
What started as a visit turned into the most meaningful memory of the entire trip.

Costa Rica gave us beautiful views and memories to match. 🌺✨
From the flower-filled welcome at the Four Seasons to a surfboard-themed awards dinner, every detail of this program was designed to uplift the people and keep the good times going.
150 guests. 6 days. A beach party, a flower market, and a boat ride later, we left the attendees with new connections and memories that will last a lifetime.
Because we believe that when it comes to celebrating an achievement it should be done with heart, intentionality, and flair.

Corporate gifting is leveling up in 2025. Are you ready? 🚀
Here’s what’s trending for next year:
📈 Bigger budgets for non-cash rewards.
🎁 Personalized incentives are on the rise (especially in Europe).
🌍 Event gifting is becoming more tailored, experiential, and meaningful.
For event planners, that means the days of generic swag are fading. Guests want rewards they’ll remember and actually use.
The takeaway: In 2025, the most impactful gifts will be personal, purposeful, and perfectly matched to your audience. ✨

An unforgettable experience in Austin.
675 attendees gathered at the Fairmont Austin for an event that hit every mark. From a fan-favorite photo wall to clear, intentional signage, every detail was thoughtfully executed.
The award ceremony ran seamlessly, the interactive AI booth was a major hit, and dynamic videos brought energy and flair to the general session.

You could feel the energy from the moment you walked in. Bold visuals + a crowd that is fully engaged = magic.🌟
This event wasn’t just about information sessions and drawing attention. It was all about building connections, creating moments that felt personal, and making space for people to show up, have fun, and fully immerse in the experience.
With custom designs, high participation, and a line that didn’t let up, the vibe was undeniable, and the memories stuck with attendees long after the event wrapped. 🚀
