Strategy meetings, leadership programs or incentives: Events today face new demands. They are expected to bring brands to life, convey content, and reach target groups who are often under high pressure in their daily routines. Increasingly, there is a desire for formats that do not overwhelm but instead provide orientation and create genuine connection.

Stephanie Günther, Consultant for Digitalization and Sustainability at VOK DAMS, addressed this topic in a feature article for German Industry publication TW tagungswirtschaft. In it, she explains why events need to offer more than just topics and how consciously designed formats can create spaces where brands become tangible, and content has a lasting impact. 

Mindfulness-Focused Events 

With our Mindfulness-Focused Events, we create conditions that foster presence and encourage exchange. Instead of tightly packed schedules or purely informational delivery, the focus is on consciously designed experiences that give participants breathing space – and, in turn, allow brands to capture greater attention. 

Based on our experience, we at VOK DAMS have developed the Mindful Experience Zones: a flexible set of modules that can be adapted to different audiences and occasions. They create closeness and relevance, enable genuine connection, and make content come alive. At the same time, they generate authentic images and moments that are carried forward – whether personally or on social media.

THE FOUR BUILDING BLOCKS 

FOCUS & ENERGY SPACES

Spaces to reflect, recharge, and regain focus. As a quiet work zone or a relaxed lounge – they help participants slow down and return with fresh energy.

NATURE-BASED EXPERIENCES

Workshops and conversations in nature open up new perspectives. Movement and natural surroundings inspire, free the mind, and spark dialogue and creativity.

SUSTAINABLE LIVING LABS

This is where ideas for sustainable solutions take shape – from CO₂ reduction to regional responsibility. Developed together, they create purpose and deliver concrete results.

SOCIAL PURPOSE STATIONS

Formats for shared engagement and genuine connection – whether through a social project or creative co-creation. They bring people together for meaningful experiences.
