MICE Tourism has exploded in what can only be described as a tsunami of events in every conceivable form. In the travel space, groups travelling for meetings, exhibitions or conferences are governed by different policies and conditions and fall under the purview of events specialists who provide a unique service in this space. At Rennies BCD Travel, our sole mandate is to do everything it takes to take your event from good to great!
We believe that all great events have a few fundamentals in common: Inspired ideas, a good venue, a captivating speaker, good food and uninterrupted connections. That’s why our dedicated team of events specialists will step in to provide inspired concepts and creative solutions that will leave your audience awestruck.
Unlocking successful events
The key, we have found, is understanding your unique requirements so that we can design and implement every aspect of your event in minute detail. We provide a range of creative services, production support, communication, and operational support that will elevate your event to set it apart.
Imagine working with a travel partner so influential that they chartered a commercial Boeing 747 with the world’s largest airline, which amended the take-off time to ensure that a VIP event took off without a hitch! WE have done that!
We offer corporate group travel management to book flights and accommodation, organise food, entertainment, and tailor our suggestions to maximise the attendee experience, which is crucial to your event’s success. We take care of every little detail, from recommendations for guest speakers and venues to advice with menus. Regardless of the size of the event, our team is on standby to share their expertise.
Use event tech for unsurpassed performance
Virtual and hybrid events have created new opportunities to meet online, and we’re committed to combining our platform’s business travel technology with our personal service to make your virtual event the best it can be.
Our events specialists sift through all the event hosting resources at your disposal, connecting you with the best technology to create the right attendee experience for your events. Think: managing and engaging your attendees or delegates around the actual event, including on-site activities such as check-in, badges, event apps and real-time surveys.
We’ve also developed our own attendee management tool that offers individual itineraries, a QR-code generation widget, push notifications, and individual payments and places us in a unique position to service your personalised requirements.
We also offer a connection to an app with interactive features during meeting sessions and a connection to social media around the event to make each virtual session more memorable.
Create FOMO
A fear of missing out (FOMO), is a powerful tool to increasing excitement and engagement for your event. It will be the catalyst that moves the needle form from “Maybe I’ll go” to “I’ve got to be there!”. Some ideas include:
- Create a sense of urgency with communication that drives deadlines or limits quantities
- Create a destination guide that highlights local attractions and activities to be shared on the event website prior to the event.
- Provide digital gift bags, where event attendees receive coupon codes for local businesses, the venue, and event sponsors and exclusive content.
- Host a unique kick-off party or arrange prizes that can be advertised to all attendees prior to the event to generate buzz.
- Create an exclusive experience: create a one-of-a-kind experience such as a dinner made by a famous, overbooked chef; or a meal out with a celebrity or celebrity athlete.
- Create Instagram-worthy photo ops and incorporating event branding.
Exceeding expectations
While tech is what drives the backend of events, our experts drive the ideation to the meeting request process all the way through to the actual sourcing, creation, execution and reconciliation of your event. Our dedicated events travel team approaches your event travel needs as a project. We find ways to surprise, delight, and exceed expectations along the way because we move more than people; we move their hearts and minds too!
