In the world of event design, the choices around food and beverage can significantly impact both the success of an event and the experience of its attendees.
Research shows that 82% of event attendees prefer to participate in person—so event design around food and beverage is essential to fuel their bodies and minds with the right menu choices, creatively presented.
Bucom stays at the forefront of food & beverage trends by continuously innovating, ensuring your event design is both modern and memorable.
Incorporating wellness beverages into your event design adds an element of health-consciousness that resonates with today’s attendees. Freshly pressed juices, herbal infusions, and probiotic-rich drinks like kombucha are not only popular but also beneficial. These options align with the wellness trends influencing modern event design.
For an interactive element, Bucom suggests a smoothie-making station that engages attendees.
Integrating interactive food experiences into your event design can elevate the attendee engagement. Consider stations like build-your-own salad or bowl bars, live cooking demonstrations, and sushi rolling stations. These not only make the dining experience fun but also allow for personalization. Bucom recently introduced a “Decorate Your Dessert Station,” where attendees could unleash their creativity, adding a unique touch to the overall event design.
Sustainability is a critical component of contemporary event design. Opt for practices like locally sourced ingredients, minimal food waste strategies, and biodegradable packaging. Sustainability in food and beverage choices enhances your event design, demonstrating a commitment to eco-friendly practices that resonate with today’s conscious consumers.
Embracing global flavors in your event design can celebrate diversity and enrich the attendee experience. From Asian street food-inspired lunches to Mediterranean mezze spreads, international cuisine offers a way to explore and appreciate different cultures.
This approach to event design is particularly effective when the menu reflects the event’s location, such as a “Build Your Own Palatschinken” station during a coffee break in Vienna.
Transparency in food sourcing is becoming an integral part of event design. Attendees appreciate knowing the origins of their food and the ethical considerations behind it. Incorporating ethically sourced ingredients and fair-trade products into your event design not only supports clean eating but also keeps attendees feeling energized and engaged.
A notable trend in event design is the shift from early morning breakfasts to late-morning brunch services. This timing allows attendees to engage more fully with the event, enjoying creative menu options without the rush. Incorporating this trend into your event design lets participants savor the experience, making it a standout element of your event.
Bucom can help you integrate these trends into your event design strategy, ensuring that your corporate meetings are not just events but experiences that leave a lasting impression. Ready to elevate your event design? Work with us here!
