As we look ahead to the coming year, several venue event trends are worth exploring. Whether it means rethinking the traditional meeting room or going more green, event planners are looking for distinctive places and exceptional services that fit their concept and spark conversations long after the event concludes.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is an iconic landmark with a rich history, providing event organizers with a one-of-a-kind space for hosting corporate meetings, galas, and other special occasions. The venue offers breathtaking views of the mountains, valleys, and the Pacific Ocean from high on a hill in Simi Valley. Here are three ways the Museum combines unconventional venues with first-class hospitality to create noteworthy corporate events.
1. A Venue With Character
With event planners continually looking for new and unique spaces to impress guests, this event location sets the tone to excite guests with an exclusive venue that can be used for everything from corporate meetings to fundraising galas. The Reagan Library's 400-acre site features multiple event spaces and magnificently manicured grounds colored with blossoms, beautiful oak trees, and Ronald and Nancy Reagan roses.
The Library is also home to Air Force One 27000, the aircraft that flew seven U.S. presidents over one million miles. Guests can dine under the aircraft's wings, mingle in a replica of the White House Rose Garden, and network outside near a preserved piece of the Berlin Wall.
2. A Lasting Impact
Over 59% of event planners see sustainability as a challenge. The Reagan Library's world-class culinary and event team will bring your big ideas to life while minimizing your footprint. Their focus on shopping locally and sourcing fresh, high-quality ingredients reflects the season, supports area farmers, and saves harmful carbon emissions.
The Library's catering team also recycles and composts in their kitchen, uses green cleaning products, takes steps to reduce food waste, and looks for innovative ways to replace single-use plastics with reusable and compostable options. These tangible things can make a real difference.
3. Tech-Forward Solutions
Hybrid events quickly emerged as a new and highly popular trend, and it is no surprise that this trend is expected to continue into 2024. The Reagan Library is a tech-forward venue with solutions to accommodate both a virtual and in-person audience.
To ensure a successful hybrid event, thoughtful planning and precise coordination are crucial. The Library's event planning team ensures that every detail of your mixed event is tailored to your specific needs, from start to finish. From reliable streaming to on-site technical support, assistance with audiovisual and lighting, and advanced video conferencing capabilities, the Library can seamlessly accommodate both a virtual and in-person audience.
For events in 2024, it is important to think outside the box to create unforgettable experiences for attendees. The Reagan Library hosts an array of different companies and nonprofits for annual galas, summits, company milestones, and so much more, providing an elegant, polished experience for all.
