Here are our top tips for booking entertainment to make your event unforgettable!
Preparation is the foundation of every successful event. Here are some important steps to consider before booking your entertainment:
Understanding your audience is the key to choosing the right act. Age, interests, cultural background—these elements shape how an act will resonate. For example, if you’re organizing a college event, consider high-energy comedians, engaging speakers, or magicians who speak directly to student experiences. Planning a corporate event? Maybe a more sophisticated entertainer or speaker is a better fit.
By knowing your audience inside and out, you can create events that captivate and leave a lasting impression.

You’ve booked an amazing act—now it’s time to fill the room! Promotion is crucial to ensuring strong attendance and excitement. Utilize social media, email campaigns, campus networks, and flyers to spread the word and attract your audience. A well-promoted event is an engaging event, bringing the energy and enthusiasm you envisioned.
Pro Tip: Look at how your peers at colleges and universities successfully promote events at conferences like NACA and APCA. These conferences build anticipation and excitement, setting a great example of how to draw your audience in.
Even after the applause dies down, the work isn't over. Here’s how to maximize the impact of your entertainment:
