Tradeshows aren’t just about booths anymore… they’re about moments that stop traffic.

From interactive AI photo booths and live mural walls to gourmet grab-and-go stations and immersive VR brand journeys, today’s activations are all about sparking curiosity, connections, and conversations that last long after the expo floor closes.

Some of the hottest trends right now:
    •    Gamified experiences that let attendees win rewards instantly
    •    Wellness lounges with mini chair massages and mindful resets
    •    Custom swag stations where guests design their own branded keepsakes
    •    Culinary theater with mixology demos and chef pop-ups
    •    AR scavenger hunts that take guests through the entire tradeshow floor

At BDI Events, we believe the most memorable activations transform passive browsing into active brand love. Your tradeshow footprint is more than square footage—it’s your chance to create magnetic experiences that pull people in and keep them talking!

Step inside Reno’s Peppermill Resort with us—because our site visit has us already imagining the energy of next spring’s convention!

From the expansive Peppermill Ballroom, customizable for large-scale general sessions or intimate breakouts, to
meticulous convention services that anticipate every detail, this property is built to elevate experiences.

Between sessions, attendees can explore award-winning onsite dining, from fine Italian flavors to casual bites and late-night lounges, all without ever leaving the resort.

And here’s something unique—Peppermill is the only resort in the U.S. heated entirely by its own geothermal energy, a sustainable feature that mirrors the forward-thinking spirit of our event partners.

This venue combines innovation, style, and hospitality that set the stage for unforgettable moments—making Peppermill a convention destination in which we can’t wait to return!

Picture this: fresh air, rolling vines, and the clink of glasses—corporate offsites aren’t just about breakout sessions anymore. This summer, our client swapped the ballroom for the sun-dappled rows of Pence Vineyards, embracing a setting where creativity flourished among Pinot Noir and ancient valley breezes.

It wasn’t just a change in scenery; it was a shift in mindset. Teams connected over estate-grown wines and farm-to-table bites, inspired by the heart of Santa Rita Hills, just outside of Santa Barbara, CA. When you gather outside boardroom walls, new horizons open—conversations become richer, ideas more vibrant, and every toast celebrates possibility.

Let BDI Events take your corporate offsite beyond the expected. Because when you step into the vineyard, you don’t just plan meetings. You cultivate experiences.

From field-level glitz to mountain-town charm, our team thrives on creating unforgettable moments wherever the map takes us. One night, we’re coordinating ballroom glamour under stadium lights; the next morning, we’re scouting new spaces that inspire bold visions for future events.

Because at BDI, it’s always about the details, the energy, and the magic that makes each city shine!

Second-tier cities are having a major moment in meetings & events—and for the first time, all eyes are on Buffalo (including ours 👀). We’re thrilled to share that we just booked a group of 350 here for April 2027!

Big congratulations to Visit Buffalo Niagara on the unveiling of their new brand + national marketing plan yesterday in downtown Buffalo. We were honored to be part of this milestone and can’t wait to see what this new era of tourism brings to the city. ✨

Just wrapped a site visit to Offshore—the nation’s largest rooftop venue—perched above the waves at the far end of Navy Pier!

Offshore sets the stage with sweeping views of Lake Michigan and the city skyline—making it the perfect backdrop for our client's Fall Roadshow.

We’re already picturing memorable moments, skyline sunsets, and the vibrant energy of our community against this iconic Chicago setting!
