Does Size Matter When It Comes To Conferences?

DOES SIZE REALLY MATTER?

When it comes to events, bigger isn’t just about making a splash – it’s about making an impact. Large-scale conferences bring energy, alignment and a sense of occasion, that smaller gatherings simply can’t match. But, the million dollar question: is bigger truly better? And more importantly, is it worth it?

GO BIG OR GO HOME?

Remember, the goals of any event lie a lot deeper than simply filling seats, it’s about inspiring change. When you bring the entire business together, you need to create something dynamic, engaging and something that puts you in the right gear to get the business to where it needs to be.

ON THE SAME PAGE

When people hear the same message at the same time, there’s no room for mixed signals (an internal comms manager’s worst nightmare). You get clarity, consistency and immediate alignment across the business, moving in one united direction.

MORE PEOPLE = MORE POWER

There’s no denying that the energy at any large event is contagious – there’s a buzz. Large-scale events create momentum, turning passive delegates into brand advocates. When the energy builds collectively, it fuels a sense of movement – people aren’t just hearing what you’re telling them, they’re feeling it.

0 TO 60MPH ON IMPACT

If you’re acter quick results, a big event is the way to do it. There’s no staggered rollouts, no trickle-down effect, just one moment that shifts the entire business at once. A hard launch, with everyone on boards means you can see (and measure) the impact immediately.

MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

Let’s break the stigma. Scaling up doesn’t men blowing the budget. Once everything is in place – venue, entertainment, AV, content – the cost per attendee drops, making larger events most cost-effective. Like what we did there? So do we. Plus, with more people engaged all at one, the return on investment (ROI) will blow the roof of your venue!

GET THE PEOPLE TALKING.

Big events aren’t just about the now. The best ones get talked about for years, becoming a part of your brand’s culture and leaving a legacy. How do you make bigger better, you ask?

Build a buzz: Teasers, speaker reveals, and sneak peeks get people hyped before they’ve even arrived. The more excited they are for the big day, the more energy they’ll bring to the event.
Pull out all the stops: 10/10 entertainment, dynamic content and trending, immersive experiences keep engagement high, and attention hooked. It’s not just about delivering content, but how you use it to tell a story.
Let’s talk about venues: Getting the right venue to house your large event, might seem like a challenge (but we love one of those). Turn it around into a positive, high-profile arenas, prestigious stadiums and unique venues spark creativity, the fresh layouts maximise engagement – win, win.

SHOWING UP FOR YOUR PEOPLE.

We hear you. Pulling the whole company away from their day-to-day isn’t just an expense, it’s a huge investment, and you’ll be wanting to see that sweet ROI. But a well-crafted large event feels like a big deal for people, because well, it is.

Employees feel this investment, and so feel valued, connected, and inspired.

And don’t even get us started on the networking opportunities! In a bigger space, every coffee break is a chance to brush shoulders, spark ideas an make things happen.

Expos are hubs of energy, with sponsorship investments making it so as you’re not the only one funding the event. Big events make the most of those in-between moments where the real magic happens.

SO, DOES SIZE REALLY MATTER?

A big event isn’t just about looking good, it’s about delivering results. Better retention, stronger morale, deeper connections: the right event can shift a business.

And let’s not forget the attendees. A great event should feel valuable to every single person in the room. Whether they leave with fresh insights, new motivation, or just an experience they won’t forget, they should feel it was time well spent. And who can forget fun? Not us! When people are having a good time, learning and engagement follow.

So, does size really matter? When it comes to impact, the answer is YES.
