New Year is a special holiday for everyone. It takes us back to carefree childhood, makes us believe in miracles and make wishes as the clock strikes midnight. It gathers together our closest and dearest ones. It differs from other holidays with its special warmth, soulfulness, and atmosphere. That's why companies approach organizing corporate New Year with full responsibility, starting planning long before the celebration. By the end of autumn, almost everyone has already decided on the venue and format of the event. And for those who haven't done it yet, we advise to book everything necessary as soon as possible.

Let's talk about trends

Trends in organizing New Year events this winter:

• Immersiveness or complete immersion. This is the blurring of the line between the artist and the audience in the form of a scene: each guest becomes part of the action and a full participant in what is happening. A great way to observe everything from the inside, trying on some image or role. This turns passive observers into active participants.

• Involving employees in the stage part of the program. Involving artistic personalities of the company in the event program is not new but usually perceived with enthusiasm. Karaoke battle, rap verses, dance flash mob - there are plenty of options. For example, such a tradition has long existed in the company Philips. There are more than 750 people working at our firm - many talented singers, musicians, dancers, and poets among them. On the eve of the holiday, all willing prepare creative performances under the guidance of professional directors, choreographers, and vocalists. At a recent superhero party, regular employees sang soundtracks from cult "James Bond" movies and transformed into favorite characters.

Stylized party

• Disconnection of the internet. Immerse people in live communication, replacing the screen of a gadget with the face of a smiling employee - what could be better? Disconnection of the internet provides an opportunity to experience genuine emotions, unfiltered by the lens of a camera and social media.

• Food as a constructor. An innovative approach to the table, where everyone can choose the components of their dish. This easily accommodates the preferences of all guests without infringing on anyone's rights.

• The power of decor. Extensive possibilities for decorating the venue create a special festive atmosphere, an illusion of immersing into a new space. Increasingly, environmentally friendly and "smart" materials are used for decor and embellishments, which can be easily transformed and reused (for example, cardboard).

New Year accents in decorating company celebrations “Danonein Moscow emphasized the prestige of the company and its leading positions. For example, the Russian version of "Danone" was represented by a 3D-printed matryoshka placed for a photo zone. The blue color scheme, voluminous decor, and lighting created a fairytale atmosphere of New Year's magic.

Event design

• Decorate the Christmas tree in a new way. The Christmas tree is a classic attribute and symbol of the New Year, but the decorations change. Trends in decorating this year are born at the specialized New Year exhibition Christmasworld 2019-2020, which takes place in Germany (Frankfurt am Main). Christmasworld is the largest professional event in the world of New Year decorations. One of the most bold and relevant themes of 2020 is the tropics. This style is characterized by the use of bright and rich dark colors combined with gold and animal/plant prints. Exotic flowers and leaves, raspberry and blue-green shades, marine and fantasy elements - tropical decor tends towards luxury and richness of textures.
