2019 Event Trend: The Meeting is a Music Festival | Get Full Event Production from PM1

We're always on the lookout for new trends in the meetings industry. We couldn't agree more with this article over on Social Tables highlighting #5 as "Meetings will become music festivals."

Here's a quote from the article:

"In 2019, we’ll move further on the spectrum toward full-blown festivalization. Essentially, the line between consumer festivals and corporate events will continue to blur, as elements of the former become a means of engagement for the latter."

Some supporting trends that we've already seen by our own clients:

1. Full concert audio, video walls, projection screens & lighting at corporate events for A-level entertainment
2. Immersive platforms where the audience becomes a participant
   
   
3. 360-degree seating; bringing back theatre in the round:
4. Automotive events (in our Detroit location) with DJ Stages with sponsor vehicles flanking either side. We've done some impressive renderings and quotes recently for private, non-ticketed events.
   
   
   
5. Trade shows over pools. We'd love never to see the inside of Orlando or Vegas's convention centers again!
   
   
6. An increase in booking full-production for multi-city concert tours, staged at military bases for veterans.
