You involve members structurally: not only at the event itself, but also in the preparation. Put together a planning committee of 5-7 members. Let them help decide what happens, where it takes place, what is eaten. This creates ownership. Ask members for their topics in advance: 'What would you like to learn?' This feels like real participation. Use members themselves as moderator, speaker, or technical support at the event. Give them an easy role so they don't get nervous. Take photos of all participants and put them on your intranet afterwards. Members feel seen. Ask for feedback and implement suggestions visibly. Say to members: 'We implemented your idea from last time and it works well.' This increases engagement. Live Impact facilitates participatory design of member events.
