How In-Person Events Add Irreplaceable Value

While hosting online events has been immensely helpful in recent years, there is no doubt that the return of in-person meetings and events holds infinitely more benefits. In-person events increase networking potential and promote longer-lasting, deeper connections that provide a stronger feeling of community amongst attendees.

New ideas and great successes take shape when attendees are motivated, inspired, and gathered together. Here are some of the countless reasons to host the next occasion in person, and how the Marriott Bonvoy™ portfolio can help achieve a more fulfilling and advantageous event. Take full advantage of The Spark This Moment Campaign to strike a spark with guests by receiving exclusive benefits such as group discount rates, double Marriott points, or other enticing treats.

Ignite the Engagement and Success

With countless ways to create a stimulating event in person, guests will be more motivated to engage with guest speakers, presentations, and group activities. During a virtual event or meeting, attendees may feel uncomfortable contributing thoughts or even participating in lectures. When choosing an in-person event, those attending feel attached to the new ideas presented as well as more committed to learning new information.

Refreshed ideas, visions, and goals flow when people gather together, jumpstarting success. Find this engagement and success only face-to-face interactions can bring with The Spark This Moment Campaign. Participating hotels create special moments and spark memories for life with benefits such as free upgrades and complimentary perks on arrival.

Spark Passion Through Providing Memorable, Inspiring Experiences

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and moments will leave a lasting impression on all attendees. Guests will feel inspired and encouraged that a host cares enough to provide these incredible experiences. Choosing an environment that defies all expectations adds priceless value that guests will forever cherish.

The Fiji Marriott Momi Bay on the western shores of Viti Levu, Fiji, is the dream escape. Guests will find exclusive exotic natural attractions, renowned diving, and world-class surfing. Instead of sitting inside enclosed ballroom spaces, these stylish outdoor venues accommodate up to 800 attendees, with retreats, meetings, conferences, and team-building activities available in areas surrounded by picturesque scenery.

For a truly one-of-a-kind hotel experience, guests can take part in the world’s first augmented-reality hotel art tour at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore. Attendees can participate in this dazzling, hands-on art tour that they would never be able to experience otherwise. Especially having this chance to interact with pieces from renowned artists, guests can have an impactful moment with each other. This will spark lasting memories that can be shared and talked about together, connecting them deeper as a group.

Fosters Community and Appreciation

Featuring memorable and unique activities and excursions acts as a necessary form of community building. These group outings or pursuits will grow connections and allow guests to find a renewed purpose and appreciation in working together. By hosting these memorable events, guests can treasure the time they share with one another and feel grateful for the opportunities that are presented to them. Sharing meals from local cuisine and adventuring together on unique activities only help to grow this sense of appreciation and value.

Renewed Connections and Relationships

There is no better place to make and foster connections than an in-person event. One of the special aspects of having guests gathered together for an occasion means they can also network outside of the event or meeting. Members can create new stories, reconnect or spark new relationships, and find deeper relationships.

Sparking these new relationships also leads to making good friends and future business partners. Similar interests can start new connections while meeting people with different skills can lead to new talents. A conference or event is the ideal place to finally meet those who are admired or hear from guest speakers that can inspire. One small spark can lead to a great fire of collaboration.

At The Bangkok Marriott Marquis, guests can find a vibrant space to continue fostering bonds. In the heart of Bangkok, this sublime locale boasts over 53,000 square feet of function space. With plenty of room for conferences and activities, The Bangkok Marriott Marquis is ideal for strengthening connections and creating the perfect atmosphere for networking. Utilize this stunning, expansive space as a retreat with over 30 potential meeting spaces.

Spread Kindness and Care

When guests meet in a shared space, there is a renewed purpose to work together to improve the world. All of Marriott’s unique locations focus on sustainability initiatives and have special programs in place. The pillars of Marriott’s sustainability program include Nurture, Sustain, Empower, and Welcome.

By choosing one of these properties, it helps to reduce a host’s carbon footprint because of the responsibility the Marriott Bonvoy™ properties take in nurturing the planet. By using innovative technologies and renewable energies, they reduce waste, consumption, and energy usage. Sustainability is fully embedded in each aspect from how produce is sourced and being mindful to what materials are used at the properties.

Guests can also participate in the Marriott’s ‘Good Travel’ program, where groups can take part in team building and charity at the same time. Guests can participate and fully interact with the three pillars of the ‘Good Travel’ program: Environmental Protection, Community Engagement, and Marine Conservation.

With our Marine Conservation program, attendees can give back to the community while experiencing one-of-a-kind, fulfilling activities such Adopting-a-Coral in the Maldives or Coral Seed Making in Okinawa. At The Ritz-Carlton Langkawi, groups can join marine biologists in a hands-on experience to support the sustainability of local sea cucumbers that have been over-fished.

Overall, an in-person event provides the perfect opportunity to ignite success and engagement, renew relationships, ignite passion, and foster deep appreciation. Face-to-face events show attendees they are valued and create once-in-a-lifetime, unique experiences. With incredible offers of The Spark This Moment Campaign, give attendees more gratification, allowing for more progress and a stronger feeling of community. For a memorable, fulfilling occasion that adds irreplaceable value, choose an in-person event that will inspire, strengthen bonds for years to come, and truly strike a spark.
