Looking ahead at the new event season, it's time to step back and assess how you can elevate your upcoming projects. Every year presents new challenges, evolving client expectations, and higher standards. Staying ahead means continuously refining your strategies—whether it's through embracing new innovations, optimizing logistics, or committing to more sustainable practices.

At Losberger De Boer, we’ve been at the forefront of delivering high-quality event structures for decades. We've worked with some of the world's leading brands and venues to create memorable, seamless experiences. As you prepare for another successful year, here are seven key actions to consider that will help you stay ahead, keep your clients happy, and ensure your events stand out from the competition.

4. Identify Opportunities to Improve Logistics and Coordination

Keep bottlenecks from turning into headaches
As you gear up for the next event season, take the time to assess what can be improved in the areas of logistics and coordination. With so many vendors and teams working in tight spaces, delays and bottlenecks are common. Optimizing the flow of work and ensuring that everyone is aligned can make a significant difference. We often play a key role in ensuring smooth operations, helping to coordinate between different teams and manage tight timelines.

Moreover, we have a wealth of experience in maintaining the project planning whilst dealing with unforeseen (and / or unfortunate) circumstances.

5. Evaluate cost-effective solutions without compromising quality

Find that sweet spot where cost-effectiveness meets quality
As you plan for the upcoming event season, take a proactive approach to managing costs without sacrificing the quality of your events. Explore modular structures and scalable solutions that allow you to adjust your budget efficiently, whether you're hosting a small-scale exhibition or a large, multi-day event. Transparent pricing and the flexibility to adapt to your event’s specific needs will help you deliver exceptional results while staying on budget.

6. Strengthen partnerships for reliable installations, and long-term success

Do your partners live up to your expectations? 
Your suppliers are key to the success of your events, so now is the time to evaluate who delivers the reliability, speed, and expertise you need. Building strong, long-term relationships with trusted partners can ensure smooth operations and successful outcomes for every event. By choosing a supplier who understands your specific needs and can adapt quickly to changing circumstances, you set yourself up for future success.

7. Prioritize sustainability to reduce your event’s carbon footprint

Tip: Check the EcoVadis rating of your major suppliers
Sustainability is no longer a ‘nice to have’—it's a must. Now is the perfect time to explore ways to minimize your event’s environmental impact without compromising on quality. Consider eco-friendly options like energy-efficient lighting, solar-powered structures, and recyclable materials that not only benefit the planet but also resonate with your clients' values. By making sustainability a priority, you’re not only future-proofing your events but also setting an example for the entire industry.

This year, Losberger De Boer was awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal. This means that compared to similar businesses around the world, we are in the top 2% when it comes to sustainability. Want to know if your event suppliers are truly committed to sustainability? Check their EcoVadis-rating.
