What is a Masterclass?

Masterclasses can cover a wide variety of topics but all can be defined in the same way. They are immersive workshops that are carried out by individuals who are experts in their field of study or interest. These classes are unique in nature as they are designed to encourage participants to actively engage with the information and skills being taught. Whether it be in a new skill, technique or industry insight, this practical application offers attendees a unique and new opportunity to learn from the very best.

Why Hold Masterclasses at Events?

Holding masterclasses at corporate events should be driven by a range of reasons. However, adding value and engaging participants stand out as the key underlying motivations for incorporating masterclasses into corporate events.

Nowadays, simply holding an event is no longer enough to capture the full attention of attendees. Event organisers and businesses use masterclasses as a way to distinguish their events from competitors, providing guests with a fun and engaging experience and learning opportunity that extends beyond the event. This simple addition to your corporate event will prove a powerful tool in enhancing the overall event experience.

The Benefits of Hosting a Masterclass at a Corporate Event

There are a number of benefits that hosting a masterclass at an event can have.

Improving Employee Relations & Teambuilding

One benefit of offering masterclasses at corporate events is the positive effects it can have on inter-employee relations and attendees. These interactive classes often call for group participation where individuals have to work alongside each other, making it a great opportunity to encourage team bonding and communication with other colleagues who may not be in their department. These masterclasses therefore provide a great opportunity to improve team relationships, by enhancing their teamwork skills and capabilities.

Improve Business Performance

Hosting a masterclass can be a great way to introduce fun into the workplace. Whilst corporate events can often be serious and focused on business aims, alternative and creative masterclasses can inspire employees by linking their employers with notions of fun. Studies have shown to far-reaching effects that introducing fun into the workplace has on increasing output and creativity, improving employee engagement and consequently enhancing the performance of your business.  

Value Adding Experiences

Incorporating masterclasses into your corporate events is sure to leave attendees with a lasting impression of your business. Through the offering of these meaningful, engaging and educational experiences, event organisers demonstrate their clear commitment to the development and success of employees or clients.

Skill Enhancement

These masterclasses are a great way to provide attendees with the chance to enhance their skills and knowledge in a particular area, or even in a new area of interest. Regardless of the workshop, they will provide individuals with a range of transferable skills, useful not only in their work performance but also in all areas of life.
