7 Key Elements to Writing a Great Event Report

You’ve just finished pulling off what felt like a successful event, and now it’s time to write your report. A good report will allow you to take an objective look at how the event unfolded, analyze some statistics, and decide just how successful you really were and where you can improve.

As you’ll see below, part of a successful post-event brief is surely made easier using any data obtained prior to or during the event. Knowing the specific information that will help detail what you’d like to highlight for the event are objectives you’d need to set beforehand. Read on for all seven key elements to writing a great event report.

You’ve made it!

Event day is finally here and you’re standing in the lobby watching delegates from companies all around the globe begin trickling into your host venue. You’ve already got your on-site event management component set. Attendees can check in and register with speed and ease, and you watch as they proceed onto their lectures, coffee meetings, and the show floor.

However, there seem to be a few disgruntled faces in the crowd. And you may seem to think that their first impression of your event is less than stellar. This is not the case at all. In fact, the trouble started before they even arrived at your event (your entry was flawless, after all).

It started with their mismanaged and poor form of transportation.

Research has shown that 70% of event attendees who have had a negative travel experience associate these feelings with the entire event. Looking back on our own personal experiences struggling with morning traffic on our daily commute or those days we are running tight on time and make a wrong turn, we can begin to put faith in the notion that poor transportation has the power to adversely affect the outcome of what our day holds for us.

Whether it’s a normal workday or a big event, how you arrive sets the tone for what comes next.

One of the major problems businesses of all sizes face is the lack of employee satisfaction. Namely, studies have found that 51% of the U.S. employees are not engaged, which costs companies between $450 and $550 billion annually.

Given these pretty worrisome digits, it’s not surprising at all that boosting employee motivation has become one of the highest employers’ priorities. And, one of the simplest and the most powerful ways to do so is to organize corporate events.

Here are several corporate event ideas you might find useful when it comes to your team.

Have you ever wondered why people are hiring you to plan their events? It’s not just because they lack time to take care of all details. It’s mostly because they lack the creativity. They want their events to be the coolest, most relaxed, most exciting, and most memorable.

What do you do when you feel like your ideas have been exhausted? You find the ideas. There are online resources that will help you do that, but here are 15 websites that can support an event planner’s creative processes.
