Corporate events planners are searching for an ?experience? for their delegates to create a point of difference in 2017, according to professional conference organiser Rachael Ziccone.

The Conferences & Events Manager for Corporate Challenge Events in Australia and New Zealand said many companies are already scheduling their company conferences, incentive trips and corporate retreats for early 2017 and are looking for unique experiences.

?Many companies don?t have huge budgets for their corporate events so we?re always striving to find new ways to create a VIP experience for delegates without breaking the bank,? said Ziccone.

?As a corporate events planner, our best advice is to research your audience to understand what experiences would interest them and create that wow factor.

?It?s all about finding that compromise between achieving the event objectives and making delegates feel extra special whilst managing the bottom line.?

With early in the year a popular time for events such as corporate retreats and incentive trips, Ziccone has provided five simple tips to create a VIP delegate experience on a budget.

1. Use an experiential venue

?If five star hotels are a bit outside your budget, just take some time to think ?outside the box? of a venue that has flare, style and will leave a lasting memory.

?It is important to understand your group including their age range and common interests, as well as the purpose of the event and its timeframe.

?It may be more cost effective to look at regional locations rather than city or CBD options too, and this may provide a great opportunity for delegates to experience a new destination.?

2. Create balance in the agenda

?You want your delegates to be invigorated and excited through the event so they are fully engaged and absorb the material being delivered. So there should be an appropriate mix of activity and information.

?Your delegates will feel like VIPs if the agenda and content has been considered for them, not just considered for the organisation planning the event.

?Incorporating team building activitiesare a good and affordable way to create a unified and fun culture amongst the delegates too.?

3. Be smart with your gifts

?There is nothing more impersonal for delegates than receiving a gift bag full of items of poor quality, unlikely to be used and are only inserted because it ticks a marketing box.

?The main consideration should be the background of your delegates whilst also ensuring the gifts are relevant to the conference or corporate event.

?I always believe in quality over quantity - how you can maximise your budget on fewer items but of better quality and greater impact.?

4. Keep it intimate

?Don?t have too many participants which may make the event too crowded or impersonal.

?It will be more productive to achieve your event objectives with fewer delegates and gives everyone more of an opportunity for input and engagement.

?It will also give the event an ?exclusive? feel for the delegates in attendance, not to mention reduce the overall cost.?

5. Go the extra mile

?This tip is always thinking about how you can make your delegates feel special.

?Don?t think luxury, think overall experience and making it unique. People no longer want the most expensive event, they want a story to tell from their experience.

?Even with food and beverages, and transport, there is an opportunity to consider a new or special experience as these are aspects of an event that often leave a lasting memory.?
