Predictions for 2025 Event Trends

Today we take a deep dive into the event trends we are seeing in 2025. From micro events to hybrid events we will explore what is on the horizon for our industry in what has been dubbed an experience economy.

TREND (IN): Experience Economy
-We’re living in an experience economy, where value isn’t just measured in pipeline and revenue.
-Events are not only measured by ROI, but measured in how it makes people feel and creating moments they talk about long after the event ends
-41% of companies are doubling down on hosting more events in 2025
-The magic happens when you focus on creating experiences that bring people together

TREND (IN): Micro Event
-50 attendees or less
-From 2023 to 2024 in-person micro events jumped 16%
-Companies investing in micro events are 15% more likely to have an average year-over-year growth rate of 20% or more
-People prefer micro events because personalization and connection are brought to the forefront of the event
-Nearly half (45%) of event pros say their companies are getting serious about micro events this year

TREND (OUT): Hybrid Events
-Hybrid events are being viewed as lukewarm
-Engagement is not high enough at approximately 54%
-Cost of hybrid events exceeds the return which essentially results in negative ROI
-Planners and attendees agree that hybrid events take away from event experience for in-person attendees.
-Hybrid events leave everyone feeling meh, rather than saying they can’t wait to do that again.

Elements of Events: Entertainment 🪩
 
Overview:
We are often asked to source entertainment for our events. This can be either live musicians brought in to perform during a dinner function or booking a program around a major sporting event, concert, or film festival.
 
Sourcing Live Music:
When sourcing live musicians for an event as professionals we take into consideration the following:
* Venue capacity and acoustics
* If the setting works best for a jazz trio, a solo guitarist, or live DJ
* If the vibe of the music will match the audience’s interest
* If the musicians will require a stage or not
* How much sound equipment will project the music appropriately
* Negotiate pricing, coordinate travel logistics, pay deposits, and sign the agreed upon contract
 
Major Events:
Taking groups to large sporting events such as major sporting games, concerts, or a major film festival comes with a different set of requirements.
 
If a client is seeking to have attendees go to a major event, our team looks to source hotel space around the dates of the program and secure the most competitive pricing among hotels in the area. From there, our team looks to secure suite packages and/or blocks of seats for the desired number of attendees.
 
With many ticketing systems distributing tickets electronically, our staff coordinates distribution of these accordingly and shares logistical details to ensure a seamless experience for attendees.
 
TMN Events Entertainment Experiences:
TMN Events has had the opportunity to host clients and groups at the following major events (just to name a few):
🎥 Sundance Film Festival (14 years)
🏈 New England Patriots NFL Game
⚾️ Boston Red Sox MLB Game
🏒 Chicago Blackhawks NHL Game
🏀 Houston Rockets NBA Game
⛳️ U.S. Open Championship at Pinehurst
⚽️ Inter Miami MLS Game
🏎️ F1 Races at Circuit of The Americas & IndyCar Races at Sonoma Raceway

What We Do: DMC Services
 
Destination Management Companies, otherwise known as DMCs are organizations that have in-depth knowledge of local venues, hotels, vendors, transportation companies, convention centers, and some more off-the-beaten-path type of locations. With strong vendor relationships in key markets DMCs are able to secure reliable services at a competitive rate.
 
TMN DMC Locations:
TMN Events serves as a DMC in a few key markets that include Boise, Idaho, Sun Valley/Ketchum, Idaho, and Teton Valley/Jackson Hole, Wyoming. With long held relationships and extensive experience in these locations we are able to create unique programs that we know will work well.
 
🏨 Hotels:
With DMCs working regularly in specific markets, their familiarity with local hotels and staff can prove to be an immense leg up on other outside event planners that may be less familiar with the property. Due to these close relationships, DMCs have the ability to secure exclusive rates, get priority booking, and be able to tailor services that best fit the hotel as well as clients needs.
 
🚌 Transportation:
Having reliable transportation services while on site at an event can either make or break the flow of a program. With strong relationships that are built on mutual trust, consistent business, and shared goals of providing seamless and high-quality experiences for clients can truly benefit from a DMCs strong connection to a local transportation company.
 
🏟️Unique Venues:
Not all event venues are widely known or searchable on the internet. Having a DMC who has local knowledge and are privy of locations that are off-the-beaten-path can be extremely beneficial if other venue options are already booked or outside of budget requirements.

What happens when an event can’t go on as planned? ❄️
 
Recently, TMN Events was gearing up to execute a roadshow in Houston, TX, when Mother Nature had other plans. A rare snowstorm was predicted to hit the area, with up to 6” of snow closing local airports and government facilities. While canceling or postponing an event is uncommon, attendee safety always comes first.
 
Leading up to the event, we monitored the weather closely and kept in constant communication with local contacts and vendors. Unfortunately, the storm worsened, forcing us to make the difficult decision to postpone.
 
Our team sprang into action:

✅ We immediately informed presenters and attendees about the postponement.

✅ We reached out to our venue partners to invoke the Force Majeure clause, allowing us to carry forward deposits to the new 2025 dates without any penalties.

✅ We ensured smooth coordination for all stakeholders, despite the sudden change.
 
We never take event postponements lightly, but flexibility and preparedness are in our DNA. At TMN Events, our top priority is always the safety and well-being of our attendees, stakeholders, and staff. 🌟

We recently completed an annual sales kickoff meeting in Florida for a client. Below is a brief recap of the program:

Our team managed audio-visual setup, food and beverage coordination, room management, transportation logistics, and registration—ensuring every detail was seamless from start to finish.

While Florida’s weather didn’t play along (hello, rain 🌧️), we quickly pivoted to move outdoor dinner functions indoors, maintaining a polished and enjoyable experience for all attendees.

The kickoff featured:
🏨 Primary meetings - held at a hotel with conference space.
🚍 Transportation - shuttling attendees to the company’s office in Florida.
🔄 Interactive rotations - where participants explored equipment and gained hands-on insights to elevate their sales strategies.

From logistical precision to creative problem-solving, our team worked hard to deliver an event which will empower their sales force for the year ahead.

Here’s to creating more elevated experiences! 🎉

How Transient Leisure Travel is Shaking Up the Event Industry

The rise of transient leisure travel is making waves in the event world, driving up hotel and airfare costs.

Hotels used to use drop prices to fill empty rooms, but not anymore. With leisure travelers willing to pay premium rates, hotels are holding out for higher profits—raising Average Daily Rates (ADR) and making it tougher for corporate groups to secure discounted room blocks, especially during peak periods.

This trend, which began during the pandemic, shows no signs of slowing. Even as we head into 2025, hotels that once aggressively negotiated with groups are now less flexible on pricing.

At TMN Events, we’ve mastered navigating these challenges. Our deep understanding of hotel profit strategies, combined with strong industry relationships, allows us to negotiate favorable rates and valuable concessions tailored to your event’s needs. By starting early and leveraging our expertise, we ensure your event stays on budget without compromising on quality.

Let TMN Events make your next event seamless and cost-effective. Contact us today to learn how we can help!

Favorite event you have worked with TMN?

Three events stand out to me as highlights in my career. The first was a large-scale event at the Omni La Costa, which brought together 1,000 attendees. Another memorable experience took place this past summer in Sun Valley, Idaho, where the TMN team leveraged their local expertise and connections to create breathtaking evening functions at venues that included the Gail Severn Gallery and the historic Roundhouse Cabin atop Bald Mountain. Lastly, we planned an 800 person event here in Boise last summer that was dynamic and featured a group hike to Table Rock, a HIIT class held at a park in downtown Boise, transportation for attendees to/from multiple hotels, and major evening functions where we did a full buyout at Treefort Music Hall complete with a live performance by an Eagles cover band and a second night hosted at the vibrant Idaho Botanical Garden accompanied by food trucks and a live DJ.

These experiences highlight my passion for managing large groups, diverse teams, and overseeing complex, multifaceted events.

Something most people don’t know about you?

When I am and work I am a total extrovert, but once I get home I am complete introvert.

What do you think of when you hear TMN Events?

TMN is known for creating elevated experiences across all levels of corporate events. Individuals put in a lot of hard work and the loyalty to the company is quite remarkable. I genuinely enjoy going to the office where I am met with a very supportive and fun work environment. We are an ever-evolving company who is always trying to expand and improve, not to mention everyone gets along, which makes it a great place to work. It’s been great to witness the growth of the company!

Something interesting about the event world you didn’t know coming into it?

I didn’t know we were going to see such a shift in technology, especially when it comes to communication. We have transitioned away from phone calls and utilize more email and other forms of modern communication.

That’s a wrap for 2024! This year, we’ve been on the move, traveling far and wide to bring events to life for our clients. Some of our standout moments include hosting an event for 800 attendees in Boise, making the 2,340-mile journey from the TMN 208 office to Key West, and dedicating 9 days on-site to ensure the success of a single event.

As we close the year, we’re already gearing up for an even bigger 2025. Here’s to another incredible year ahead!

This year TMN Events chose our local Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho for our local Give Back. The RMHC is a wonderful access point for families with an ill or injured child to be a touch down location during a hard chapter in their lives.

The Idaho Ronald McDonald House has 47 rooms that provide families with everything they need, so they can focus on their ill or injured child.

We are deeply touched by their mission and hope to participate in more volunteer/donation opportunities in the future.
