The Platinum VIP Style Awards 2026 brought together some of Ireland’s best-known personalities for a night celebrating fashion, entertainment, and celebrity culture. At Event Central, we were proud to support the event experience with a custom VIP magazine booth installation designed to maximise guest engagement and brand interaction.
Experiential event features continue to play a major role in modern event planning, particularly for awards nights, gala dinners, and brand-focused events.
Why Experiential Features Matter
Guests now expect more than a traditional event setup. Interactive experiences create excitement, encourage participation, and increase social media visibility throughout the event.
For the VIP Style Awards, the branded magazine booth delivered:
- Interactive guest engagement
- Photo opportunities
- Increased sponsor visibility
- Social media-friendly content
- A luxury red carpet atmosphere
These types of installations help transform guests from passive attendees into active participants within the event.
Creating Memorable Guest Experiences
Experiential features are highly effective because they encourage natural interaction throughout the venue. Guests are more likely to share content online when installations feel unique, visually impressive, and professionally designed.
At Event Central, we help brands and organisations create memorable event experiences through strategic planning, logistics coordination, and experiential event solutions.
Our services include:
- Corporate event management
- Awards night planning
- Experiential marketing activations

The Growing Importance of Shareable Content
Social media now plays a significant role in event success. Interactive installations like magazine booths create organic content opportunities that extend event visibility beyond the venue itself.
This not only enhances guest enjoyment but also increases event reach for sponsors, organisers, and partner brands.
