With the meetings and events industry being an ever-changing realm, as venue with many years of experience, we wanted to share our top 5 trend predictions for 2025. Here is what to expect and what to look out for:
Sustainability Takes Centre Stage
Sustainability is no longer a buzz word, but the baseline for most meetings and conferencing venues. Meetings and events have a significant impact on the environment, from carbon emissions to waste management. In 2025, we can expect to see a growing emphasis on sustainable practices, such as eco-friendly catering options, minimal paper usage, and carbon offsetting.
Technology Integration
Meeting technology is advancing rapidly, with AI-powered chatbots, virtual reality experiences, and real-time feedback tools becoming increasingly popular. These innovations will enhance attendee engagement and streamline meeting operations.
Personalisation and Gamification
To combat the rise of digital fatigue, meeting planners will focus on creating personalised and engaging experiences for attendees. This includes incorporating gamification elements, such as challenges and rewards, to encourage participation and interaction.
With increasing awareness around mental health and well-being, meeting spaces will prioritize wellness and self-care. This may include on-site yoga classes, meditation sessions, or healthy snack options to support attendees’ overall well-being.
Virtual and Hybrid Events: The New Norm
Virtual events are no longer a novelty, but a necessity. In 2025, we can expect to see a significant increase in virtual and hybrid events, where attendees can participate remotely or in-person. This trend is driven by the need for flexibility, cost savings, and increased accessibility.
These trends demonstrate a shift towards more flexible, sustainable, and engaging meeting experiences that prioritise attendee needs and well-being. By embracing these trends, meeting planners and agents can create more effective and memorable events that meet the evolving needs of attendees.
