GERMANY – VOK DAMS TREND SPOTLIGHT #05: EVENTS AS STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP POINTS
In their ongoing commitment to shaping the future of live communication, VOK DAMS presents the latest edition of their Trend Spotlight—a curated series that highlights innovative event trends from around the world.
Trend Spotlight #05 explores a powerful insight:
“Community Needs Event – Why Events Are Strategic Relationship Points.”
WHY COMMUNITY MATTERS
VOK DAMS believes that true community goes beyond shared values—it’s rooted in the deep human need for belonging and connection. Known as relatedness in psychology, this motivator plays a critical role in today’s brand strategies, employer branding, and leadership credibility.
Yet in a digitized world, emotional connection can’t rely solely on screens. It thrives through authentic, face-to-face interaction—and that’s where events prove essential.
EVENTS THAT BUILD STRONGER COMMUNITIES
According to VOK DAMS, events are the ideal platform to cultivate five essential community functions:
- Belonging – when people realize they’re part of something bigger.
- Identification – when values are experienced first-hand.
- Commitment – when attendees are invited to actively participate.
- Trust – when authenticity is felt up close.
- Loyalty – when emotional bonds keep people engaged.
VOK DAMS leverages these principles to create events that not only communicate but connect—supporting everything from new product launches to internal transformation initiatives.
EVENTS AS STRATEGIC BUSINESS DRIVERS
Events are no longer standalone moments—they’re strategic touchpoints in the customer and employee journey. VOK DAMS designs event experiences that include pre-event engagement, real-time dialogue, and post-event follow-up—turning encounters into relationships and relationships into measurable impact.
And the numbers speak for themselves:
- 85% of participants are more likely to recommend or purchase after a live event (Exposure Analytics).
- 63% of engaged employees stay longer with their company (Gallup).
- Teams with strong emotional bonds show 21% higher productivity and 41% less absenteeism (Gallup).
- Over 90% of event-driven companies achieve their sales and pipeline targets (Forrester).
EVENTS THAT CONNECT PEOPLE, BRANDS, AND VALUE
For VOK DAMS, community is not just a concept—it’s a measurable strategy. Their event formats create tangible connections that:
- Strengthen company culture from within
- Drive customer loyalty and insight
- Support brand authenticity and trust
- Deliver long-term ROI across communication and marketing goals
VOK DAMS sees events as more than experiences—they are catalysts for transformation.
