What event activations are actually keeping guests engaged lately?

I’ve noticed guests at corporate events, networking receptions, and even weddings seem harder to impress lately because they’ve seen the same entertainment concepts over and over.

For planners, DMCs, hotels, or corporate event teams here — what interactive activations are actually working well right now?

One thing I’ve personally noticed doing really well lately is live cigar rolling because guests naturally gather around it, ask questions, network longer, and treat it almost like part entertainment / part hospitality experience.

Especially seeing it more at:
- golf tournaments
- sponsor lounges
- trade shows
- VIP receptions
- cocktail hours
- charity galas

Curious what other event experiences people are seeing guests genuinely interact with lately instead of just walking past.
