The Arival 360 conference, held September 30–October 3 at the Gaylord National Harbor in Washington, D.C., brought together the tours, activities, and experiences community for a week of learning, inspiration, and connection. This year marked the first time the Arival team incorporated NOOK Event Pods into their event—and the results were a resounding success.
A Strong Debut with Sponsorship and Podcasts
As new users of NOOK Event Pods, the Arival team quickly discovered the versatility and attendee appeal these pods bring to any event environment. The pods were sponsored and also used for podcasting, creating both a revenue opportunity and an engaging content space that drew plenty of interest throughout the conference.
They are also a great canvas for promoting the next event as the team did here.
Seamless Integration Across Spaces
Placed in both lobby areas and the exhibit hall, the NOOK Event Pods blended perfectly with the show’s professional yet relaxed atmosphere. Attendees appreciated having dedicated areas to sit, focus, record, or meet, while sponsors valued the visibility and positive engagement that came with the branded pods.
Smooth Execution by the Arival Team
As a hotel-based event, the Arival team managed all labor and logistics in-house—and their hands-on approach ensured everything ran smoothly from setup to teardown. Their creativity and attention to detail helped showcase just how easily NOOK Event Pods can be integrated into diverse event environments.
