Business Event Content Ideas? Don’t Miss the Content Goldmine
Whether you’re hosting a workshop, attending a retreat, or speaking at a conference, your next event is more than just a calendar commitment. It’s one of the BEST content creation opportunities – and sometimes people completely miss it. If you’re already putting in the effort to show up in person, you might as well make that moment work double-time for your brand. This guide will walk you through how to create valuable business event content ideas that can be tailored to your specific gathering!
1. Pre-Event Planning: Set Yourself Up for Content Success
Before the event even starts, think through YOUR business event content ideas:
- Do you want updated headshots while you’re already dressed up?
- Need testimonials from clients or collaborators in attendance?
- Want to capture behind-the-scenes footage or your speaking moment?
Plan ahead:
- Bring a few intentional outfit options that fit your brand style
- Pack props, signage, or tools you use in your work
- Prep a simple shot list for your VA, assistant, or photographer to follow
Having clarity on what you need ensures you’re not scrambling—or worse, leaving with nothing usable.
2. Candid and Behind-the-Scenes Content Is Key
Some of the best content from business events doesn’t come from the stage—it comes from real moments. Think about:
- Group shots of engaged attendees
- Candid conversations or laughter during a break
- Hands-on workshop photos
This type of content is authentic and highly engaging. It works beautifully for Instagram Stories, Reels, and even LinkedIn, where real connection wins over polish.
3. Use Video to Capture the Energy
If you’re speaking, teaching, or networking at your event, video is a must. And while it doesn’t have to be a big production, I am always here to support you!
Short clips of:
- You welcoming guests
- Walking through the venue
- Sharing a quick message from the stage
- Interacting with attendees
The key is to capture the energy and vibe. Your audience wants to see you in action!
4. What to Do With Your Content After the Event
Once the event is over, don’t let the content sit in a Dropbox folder. Put it to work:
- Turn photos into social carousel posts or promotional graphics
- Use video clips for Reels, website intros, or email marketing
- Create quote graphics or testimonial slides for future launches
- Recap the experience in a blog or email newsletter
- Thank your sponsors and attendees to encourage future participation
Events come and go, but strategic content keeps working long after the chairs are folded!
5. Don’t Just Document…Curate!
The real magic happens when you capture content that aligns with your message and mission. You’re not just snapping pictures for memory’s sake. You’re creating visuals that tell your brand story in motion!
A brand photographer can help you curate the right moments so that you don’t miss the magic while you’re busy hosting or presenting. You want to look back and see more than just smiling faces – you want to see your values, energy, and vision coming through in every frame!
