In today’s competitive event landscape, creating memorable, unique experiences for attendees is essential for success. One of the best strategies for improving events is through local partnerships. Collaborating with local partners can make events more enjoyable, boost attendance, and help participants feel connected.
At ONE Event we understand the unique value that strong partnerships and local expertise bring to each event. With these elements, we’re able to build unforgettable experiences that go beyond expectations, tailored specifically to our client’s needs.
Why local knowledge matters
Local partners offer invaluable insights into the community, culture, and audience preferences. Working closely with these partners, ONE Event is able to create experiences that feel meaningful and genuine for attendees.
Did you know? According to a recent study, events that include local elements, like regional cuisine and entertainment, see higher attendee satisfaction often by as much as 20-30% over events lacking these elements.
For example, at a recent incentive trip in Brazil, we partnered with a local chef to create an interactive culinary experience showcasing regional flavors. This not only delighted attendees but also gave them a personal connection to the destination.
Another super popular, “very local” program is the Trabant Rally Experience in Hungary and Germany. Guests get the chance to drive the iconic Trabants, classic East German cars, rented from local collectors. It’s a fun, hands-on journey into the past with a unique historical twist!
Staying on the topic of local mobility, another thrilling ride is the Yipao Jeep Adventure in Colombia’s coffee region. Here, guests explore the lush landscapes in a Jeep Willys, also known as Yipao, which is not just a vehicle but a symbol of the local farmers’ resilience and connection to the land. It’s a one-of-a-kind, culturally immersive experience!
With the help of local knowledge, we can create programs that reflect the area’s unique character, making events more engaging and memorable.
Making attendee experiences better
When you team up with local artists, musicians, and food vendors, the participants’ experience becomes truly unique. Introducing regional talent and products supports the local economy and gives attendees an authentic taste of the area.
At ONE Event we often incorporate local artists into our corporate events, whether through live art installations, hands-on craft sessions, or traditional music performances. This makes the event experience richer and provides attendees with authentic souvenirs and memories from the region.
Building connections in the community
Events are not only about entertainment; they’re also about connecting people. Local partnerships can strengthen relationships and encourage collaboration among different community members.
By involving local organizations, charities, and schools, event organizers can add programs that benefit the community and make people want to participate.
At ONE Event we often include CSR components inviting attendees to volunteer at a nearby charity in need. These activities not only help the community but also make attendees feel more connected to the location and each other.

Bringing local partnerships into event planning not only makes the attendee experience better but also supports the local economy and strengthens connections within the community.
