This week, Billy (our founder and president) and Alison (our production assistant) talk about the value of an afterparty or "the Afterglow Effect" to end an event with a bang. This idea first came to us during a recent leadership kickoff that our team hosted. Even though this virtual event was mainly professional, there was an afterparty moment at the end when a few dozen of the nearly two hundred participants stayed on and had a dance party.

Unscripted moments like this are some of our favorite parts of events, but it’s so easy to get caught up in the planning of the event that you don’t allow for these moments to happen. People love the opportunity to let their guard down and participate in authentic experiences with their team members. We hope you enjoy this conversation and see the power of incorporating even a ten minute afterparty to your next live or virtual event.

Creating the perfect event experience is all about being authentic and connecting with the audience. For more help on developing skills as a communicator, check out our More Than a Microphone online course.
