Events to us are more than just security.

When it comes to events, building a sense of community is of great importance. 

Here at Guards 247, we are not just about security, we have been involved with events at every stage for many years. We believe an engaged and connected event can lead to more successful events and happier visitors. Creating such a community requires a clear understanding of the importance of community building and how to create a sense of belonging and connection among loyal concessions at your events.

Building a Community for your events

Building an engaged event community is important because it helps create an environment of trust and camaraderie among attendees. A strong sense of belonging is essential if you want people to attend your events regularly and recommend them to their friends or colleagues.

Moreover, having a solid event community also offers other benefits like increased registrations, improved word-of-mouth marketing opportunities, greater customer loyalty, and a higher revenue per attendee because of the potential for repeat customers and your customers doing your marketing for you.

Make them feel like they Belong.

To ensure that your event community feels connected to one another and has a strong sense of belonging, there are several steps you can take. First, focus on making sure each individual feels included by concentrating on activities that promote conversation and collaboration rather than competition.

Additionally, be sure to provide ample opportunities for networking with each other throughout the event—for example, offer designated time for socializing or host an after-party where attendees can mingle in an informal setting after the event.

Connection and Engagement  

Once you have created the foundation for your event community by delivering a sense of belonging amongst attendees, next comes engagement—which is crucial if you want to keep those connections going beyond the actual event itself!

To do this effectively it’s important to give your participants the tools they need to stay connected post-event; this could be as simple as a regular newsletter, or social media accounts dedicated solely to the event/community updates – make your community feel exclusive.

Additionally, providing resources such as webinars or regular group chats can help keep members active even when they’re not at the actual events themselves. It’s also essential that you recognize members who are actively engaging with others in the group; giving out awards or special recognition will encourage others in the group to follow suit!

Take the lead and build an engaged community

Taking the lead in building and growing an engaged event community doesn’t have to be difficult. However, it takes some serious commitment and effort on your part to ensure continual engagement, as a security company we speak to everyone as often as we can.

By creating a strong sense of belonging among attendees while using strategies such as networking opportunities, online forums/ groups, and rewards programs, you may set yourself apart from competitors while ensuring that your events remain successful for years ahead!
