Event Engagement : The Most Important Thing to Capture

Morton Visuals TipsEvent Engagement : The Most Important Thing to Capture
0 Comments

As a professional event photographer, I have opportunities to see (and photograph) a wide range of conventions, conferences, awards banquets, and other corporate events. Over the years I’ve noticed distinct differences in event engagement – what’s featured and emphasized, what’s offered in terms of entertainment and activities, and what networking attendees do during the event.

When a convention or conference includes a trade show you see your normal assortment of booths featuring products and services, and attendees all browse and interact with the vendors. Conferences see speakers presenting informational or motivational speeches to crowds. With awards banquets you have presentations and congratulations abound. One thing they all have in common is a desire to engage – for speakers to connect to the audience, vendors to “put a face to the name” and build personal relationships with customers, and companies to acknowledge awards-winners. Illustrating that event engagement is my primary goal.

I look for moments. From my perspective that is best illustrated when people meet, so networking sessions are gold for me. Before they start highlighting their goods or talking business there is an initial smile and greeting, usually with a handshake. To me this encapsulates the interaction of networking, and the event engagement that sponsors, vendors, and organizations seek. Connecting people – whether for sales or camaraderie – makes events great, and in my humble opinion, successful. I capture this by watching for those smiles and handshakes.
