How To Liven Up Your Next Conference

Happy Friday!?

Welcome back to the Laughtercise newsletter.?

If you’re planning a conference at some point in 2025, this edition is for you.?

Conferences are important for every business.

They’re a great occasion for everyone to get together and share learnings from across your company.?

Buuuut there’s often a HUGE amount of information for everyone to process.

And if it’s a full day affair, the slot after lunch can be a little bit of a slog to keep people paying attention!

The food coma starts to hit as sleepiness descends…?

And that’s where we come in ???

At Laughtercise, we’re here for one thing; to captivate your group with energy ?

A conference captivator is just what you need to get everyone feeling lively again during a long conference!

This is what groups look like during our ‘Conference Captivator’ sessions ??

This is what attendees say about the sessions ??

“The most fun I’ve ever had at work” – Amazon Employee

“The best team building workshop I’ve ever been to” – Cairn Housing Employee

“It was a brilliant team building seminar” – Aviva Employee

“My cheeks ache from smiling so much!” – NHS Employee

And this is what attendees look like after ??

A Laughtercise Conference Captivator – What’s Included?

Amusing Activities! ?

Wild Battles Over Cups! ?

Maybe a drop of fun seated yoga too? ?

We have everything at Laughtercise that’s needed to energise your group. All you need to do is pick and choose…

Conference Captivator Element 1 – Amusing Activities!

Duration: up to 30-mins

These activities kick-off things off and energise everyone’s bodies and minds. They shake up the senses. Seriousness of the world? That can wait. It’s time for serious fun!

The activities are challenging. The brilliant thing is that because everyone is doing them together – and making mistakes – hilarity ensues! This is one of our first activities ?? Try it. it’s harder than it looks…

This is what a team looks (and sounds like) while playing it ??

It’s time to step up the difficulty! Below is one of our ‘opposite’ games. We give commands and everyone has to do the opposite command. The nurses below are doing level 4 where clap/click and hoho/haha are opposite. Sounds a bit mad huh? But it works a right treat ??

Conference Captivator Element 2 – Head, Shoulders, Knees, CUP!

Duration: up to 30-mins

We’ve learnt one major thing after delivering hundreds of Laughtercise sessions. It’s this…

Never underestimate how much people love competition (even if they don’t admit it!) ??

It’s time to get your group fighting over cups in one of our ‘Battle Royale Games’…

Yes, you read that right. They will battle it out to grab a cup.

We pit your group against each other…till the death.

Only joking.

Or are we…??

Just check out what 155 people look like (and sound like!) playing this wild game ??

Conference Captivator Element 3 – Fun Seated Yoga!

Duration: up to 30-mins

Hands up if you love Laughtercise Yoga! ??

It’s now time for your team to stretch, take some deep breaths and double tick those social, mental and physical wellbeing boxes ???

Harriet, our Laughtercise Yogi, delivers an hour of fun seated yoga. Check out the below video we’ve produced online and you will then get a feel for what the session would look like? ?? Can you do 10 poses in 10 minutes? ??

Conference Captivator – FAQ’s

Q. How long are sessions??

A. Our session content can be as short or as long as you require. We can deliver short 10-min energiser sessions right up to 1.5-hrs of content. We recommend, for maximal energy impact, that the content is split up around your other presentations.

Q. Can we pick and choose what we have?

A. Yes of course! We will work around you. Just want a quick energiser? We have the ‘Amusing Activities’ for you! Want that and a dash of wellbeing? It’s ‘Amusing Activities‘ + ‘Fun Seated Yoga’! We can do any content length around your event.

Q. Do we have to have all the content in one go?

A. No. In fact, we recommend our different elements to be sprinkled about. Quite a few organisers pick our ‘Amusing Activities’ as a morning energiser and then our ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees, CUP!’ game to re-energise after dinner.

Q. How much space is needed?

A. Our ‘Amusing Activities’ and ‘Fun Seated Yoga’ elements can be delivered in a cabaret style setting or in an auditorium and your attendees will complete all the activities where they are. All our ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees, CUP!’ game requires is a chair per two attendees and the game can be completed anywhere there is space.

Q. Is there a limit on attendees?

A. No limit at all, the more the merrier

Q. How much do they cost?

A. Our pricing starts at ￡795. We have a rate for not-for-profit organisations. Get in touch and we can discuss your conference in detail ??
