The concept is the foundation of every successful event. It determines the atmosphere, the message, the programme and the experience. Without a concept you have loose parts. With a concept you have a coherent story. That's why learning to develop an event concept is worth the effort.
A good concept does three things. It translates your goal into an experience and fits the DNA of your organisation. And it surprises the audience. It's the thread that connects all communication, right from the invitation.
Yet concept development is often skipped. Organisations start with the venue and the entertainment, instead of with the why and the story. That's like building a house without a drawing.
