Welcome
Entertainment is often an essential element in meetings or events. And while entertainment is traditionally thought to be for entertainment value itself, I believe that entertainment is valuable on many more levels.
Sue Sue Tinnish
Infotainment
Infotainment
I use this word in my session, 180+ Ways to Transform Your Meetings. In researching for this issue, I discovered that “infotainment” is a neologism (pronounced nee-AH-low-djism) or a newly invented word or term.
Wikipedia, on the web, defines infotainment as a general type of news media broadcast program which either provides a combination of current events news and entertainment programming, or an entertainment program structured in a news format.
I don’t see infotainment as being relegated only to the news or media world. Instead, meetings and meeting audiences expect information to be packaged in an entertaining way. So infotainment is an element in successful meetings.
Meeting participants demand meaningful information and interaction during meeting. Successful meetings will engage audiences' senses, minds and hearts in a, creative and strategically structured way.
Here’s where the packaging of information and entertainment comes in.
The Big Secret
No, the secret does not involve a movie star any entertainers or gossip. Whether overtly stated it or not, the secret of successful entertainment at meetings and events isn't about creating an impressive “show”. The secret is to know and fully understand each meeting's (or event) primary purpose, primary messages, and intent.
So it’s more than a song, more than a dance, more than a laugh?
Definitely, and the more you unearth the “hidden value” in entertainment the easier you can justify the expense and time to bring in an act.
