At Accolade Corporate Events, conference ice breaker activities are our speciality. We know what works. If you were thinking of starting with, ‘Let’s go around the room. Say your name, and something interesting about yourself,’ chuck that idea out of the office window, right now. We can do far better than that.
Ice breaker activities are all about bringing the room together, getting delegates involved, enthusiastic about the day ahead. Do the ice breaker right, and you’re likely to have a really successful conference. Why? Because your room will be filled with motivated, engaged individuals, who have been geared-up from the get-go. They’re ready to contribute to your conference.
We don’t want to claim anything too wild, but ice breakers really are an art. An art that Accolade has perfected. Say ‘no more’ to cringe-worthy, awkward ice breakers. You’ve got this.
Ice breakers that are built for your business
To get delegates involved and excited, you have to do something original. Surprise them. That’s the only rule. Organise some innovative ice breaker activities. With Accolade ice breaker activities, there’s no set format. We like to keep things flexible to fit around your business needs. We vary themes and content to ensure your objectives are incorporated. You’ve got some serious stuff to cover, we know. We can cut down activities to an amount of time, specified by you. We slip smoothly into your itinerary.
