Year of Adventure – People want to get out of their comfort zones and experience new things. Think immersive, experimental and interactive events – a themed speakeasy soiree with a secret password and Prohibition-era history instead of the traditional cocktail hour.

The VIP Treatment – Make your guests feel extra special by introducing VIP add-ons. This could include backstage tours, high-end goodie bags or a meet-and-greet with a business, sports or entertainment celebrity.

Back to Nature – Three-quarters of 21- to 35-year-olds (and 69% of all attendees) feel more positive about events that enable them to connect with and immerse themselves in nature.

Events as Self-Care – People actively seek transformative experiences to improve their well-being. From sound baths to rooftop yoga sessions, ecstatic dance to breathwork, workouts for the mind and body are what people are clamoring for.

Innovative Marketing – Selling the excitement of your incentive travel opportunity from kickoff through execution is essential. The more immersive, interactive, experiential and out-of-the-box your communication about the program is, the better.
