🎪 Come and join us at the Big Tent Ideas Festival in Bristol this 11th June 🎪 …Your chance to shape political debate. 

The Big Tent is a charitable foundation dedicated to creating space for non-partisan conversations about big policy issues and to giving a voice to places and people left-behind, particularly focussed on regeneration.

They want to help people in areas that are in need of regeneration unlock their vision, encourage them to move beyond their day-to-day constraints and give voice to what can be done if enough belief, enthusiasm and co-ordination is brought to bear on local opportunities.

The full festival programme can be found here: https://bigtent.org.uk/programme-2022/

Producing Your Next Event: It's Time To Put Your Ideas Into The Melting Pot...

26/4/2022

0 Comments

 

Here at Melt Productions we love getting creative when it comes to producing Events.

As a team, we are constantly coming up with ideas for new and exciting projects to produce internally, as well as for our clients.

Many of our clients come to us knowing exactly what they want in terms of their event, however, they are not quite sure how to execute it... And that of course, is where we come in. 

When you come to us with an event concept, we will then work with you to create a plan as to how we then turn your ideas into a reality. 

Whether you are planning a small meeting or orchestrating a large conference, event planning in itself is a huge task. 

Every event, no matter how simple or complex, requires detailed planning and organisation. From establishing an accurate budget to promoting your event, there are a number of components you should start to consider early on to make the process as stress-free as possible.

What the ultimate goal for this event? 
This is the why that spurred you to plan an event in the first place. Are you looking to:
Drive new sales? Support a product launch? Increase brand awareness? Or maybe, you have a combination of multiple goals? Determine what you are looking to accomplish and how this event will help you do that. 

Next, what are the objectives?
In planning any event, you should identify a set of objectives that will support your ultimate goal. Here are a few examples of event objectives:
  • Increase registration 10% from the last event
  • Increase revenue by 25% from the last event
  • Receive 100 preorders for upcoming product
  • Increase social media mentions/follows/reposts during the event
With your goals and objectives in place, you can create a preliminary scope of the event. Your scope should offer key details and point to how you will achieve your outlined goals. While not set in stone, you should lay out preliminary event details including: 
  • Dates. Your time frame for the event, i.e. in 9 months.
  • Attendees. Will this be a 100 person event, a 1,000 person, or 10,000 person event? You should begin to think about size. Are your attendees coming from around the country or is this a local event? You’ll also want to keep your attendees’ demographics in mind as you plan. 
  • Location. Is your event local? Or, will it be hosted in a destination? Start to create a shortlist of cities and venues that make sense for your event.
  • Type of event. Are you driving awareness of a new product? A one-day event with keynote may make sense. Bringing together thousands of customers? A two-day user conference may be right for you. Hosting an internal or association meeting? A day of small sessions could be a fit. 
Building out your goals and preliminary project scope enables you to frame your event and get buy-in from leadership. If your organisation is already on board with the event, your goals and scope help move you along into the next stages of planning.

And lastly, building your professional Events team with Melt: 

Here at Melt, we are here to support you every step of the way. With a top team of true professionals, we can supply: 

​Project Managers:

♻️🌱Making our events as green and sustainable as possible is at the forefront of what we do…🪴♻️

Over the past few months, we’ve had the pleasure of working alongside some fantastic clients who are keen to do the same; from major fashion retailers, global brands, local start-ups and even government. 

We’re excited to see there is a strong drive, passion and urgency that change is necessary. 

From an events perspective, there are plenty of things we already implement, to list a few:

♻️Only ever using recyclable materials in the production process and on site.

🪴Using local suppliers and crew where possible, encourage group travel and public transport.

🌱Donating any leftover food and drinks from events to local food banks. 

We would love to hear from you to discuss your next event and how the Melt Productions team can work with you to ensure it is produced in the most sustainable way possible.

The Way We Produce Events Is Changing...

26/3/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
The way we produce events is changing and the future of events is most certainly Hybrid…
 
But what is a Hybrid event?

It may initially sound daunting for your next event to include both in-person and virtual elements, however, with the right Event Production and Management team in place, this new shift should be easy to adopt. 

Since the Pandemic hit, many organisations have had to limit the number of in-person attendees to allow more room for social distancing, sanitisation and general safety.
​
On top of this, with many people still unable to travel, Hybrid events allow organisers to ensure their events are still accessible for a wider audience, without restriction.

Here are some key reasons your company should be talking about Hybrid events:

  1. They allow greater flexibility as to how your audience can attend.
  2. They hugely increase your marketing opportunities.
  3. They broaden the ways in which your audience engage.
  4. They offer greater networking opportunities. 
  5. They are an opportunity to showcase new and exciting technologies. 
  6. They can reduce environmental and travel costs.
  7. They allow for a wider range of valuable sponsorship opportunities. 
  8. Your guests will be able to re-watch and save recorded content, keeping your event at the forefront of their mind. 
  9. They can supply you with valuable audience data.
  10. They address the changing needs of your audience in a post-pandemic world. 

So, whether you’re planning to take your physical event online, or looking to create a new event from scratch, Melt Productions are here to help leaving you feeling confident to jump feet first into this new way of working.

To discuss your Hybrid event plans with us, please do get in touch via the ‘Contact’ page on our website.

With an incredible lineup featuring music from the gorgeous Kate Rusby, Scott Matthews, Harbottle & Jonas, Granny's Attic, Rebecca Nash, Sara Colman, Jennifer Crook, Fly Yeti Fly, Hari Sivanesan, Harmony Asia, Darshna Mistry and the incredible Nimo Patel of Empty Hands PLUS comedy from the phenomenal Rosie Jones, David Eagle, Wil Hodgson, Dani Johns and Paul 'Silky' White, you’re in for an evening to remember!
