Put a new spin on teambuilding

Shake up routine and create a corporate event that leaves an impression through including a creative teambuilding opportunity for delegates. It's easy to slip into the habit of leaning on the same teambuilding activities time after time. This happens as it can feel challenging to find an activity that feels inclusive to all team members and adaptable to all team sizes.

Looking for a recipe for teambuilding success?

Create lasting impressions at your corporate event by introducing the MTa Learning Tool. This tool will transform your event into something unique as it has an array of original icebreakers and activities that are designed to help teams recalibrate and reflect. Participation helps teams think about their communication styles and problem-solving skills, giving delegates real takeaways from your event, not just a change of scenery. Intrigued? Find out more about the MTa Learning Tool and get a rundown of some of its activities.

Think outside the box for catering

Food is make-or-break for your delegate’s mood, so the way you handle your corporate event’s catering will definitely affect whether they walk out feeling impressed. You can play it safe by choosing a delicious buffet-style meal that gives them freedom of choice, or why not take things up a notch by picking something that gives your event a bit more character?

The popularity of food trucks show they aren’t just a novelty, but they will make your corporate event one to remember. Plus, offering fantastic food doesn’t mean you have to compromise on location. You can find a venue that gives you the professionalism of a top-notch space and the access to fun themed meals, informal barbeques, or even a pizza truck. This will leave your delegates with a real talking point and a lasting positive impression.

Pick a stunning venue

For unique corporate event ideas, why not take advantage of the campus setting of a university to offer delegates a beautiful venue they’ll enjoy spending time in. Soak in the gravitas of the University of Warwick by choosing one of our Central Campus Venues and find yourself in the heart of a campus that combines green spaces with fabulous architecture. Being in an environment enhanced for learning will help your delegates walk away feeling invigorated and inspired.

Or, try out a creative meeting space! Think you knew what a corporate event looked like? Think again.

You don’t have to compromise on productivity, as these creative meeting spaces are optimised for team engagement and made for ideas generation and discussion.
