What are micro events and how they can transform team performance

Pull through page title

Featuring groups of less than 30 people, you swap surface-level conversations for better connection and brainstorming. Let’s break down why you should host a micro event and how to create an environment that will transform the way your team performs.

How can small-scale events make a big difference?

Micro events transplant your team into a fresh setting, and a clear outcome of this is revived creativity. Working in the same setting for too long can lead to stagnation and burn out, so switching up your workspace has a great impact on rejuvenating your team’s mindset and ultimately helps them to perform better.

Plus, from a cost perspective, choosing small will be a life saver when working within tighter budgets, and has the advantage of proving less demanding on your time.

Whilst organising large-scale events comes with complexities, opting for small-scale saves your energy for complex conversations. During the event, you will find that shrinking your numbers also allows for more nuanced discussion where people can more easily collaborate and have their voice heard. For some colleagues, this environment can also feel a lot easier and less overwhelming.

What makes a great micro event venue?

Micro events need to allow for plenty of interaction and space for everyone to think and express themselves – just because the event is small in numbers doesn’t mean it should feel claustrophobic. Consider round-table style seating that takes advantage of a smaller group and allows you to all see and interact with each other. Pick a venue that offers spaces that complements your group’s strengths and facilitates connection and collaboration with magnetic strips, whiteboards, and relaxing breakout spaces .

Choosing a micro event also allows you to think outside the box for your venue. Be inspired by our creative spaces , such as our kitchen spaces, where you can nourish your mind and hold exciting conversations around the kitchen table. These are spaces that embody productivity and invention, helping you to get the best from your team.

For in-depth discussions or creative brainstorming sessions, micro events will be a winner for your team. Bring your topics into this tailored, accelerated environment and see your team soar.

How to plan a micro event

Start planning your micro event by choosing your topic, building a team that represents a well-rounded spectrum of expertise, and then follow this with creating an agenda that helps you to stay on track for success. If you’re hoping to meet certain deliverables through your micro event, these should be front and centre for all stages of planning and execution.
