Why the ADD UP Party Is the Ultimate Event Solution
At UP Events, we know that modern organizations crave more than just another gathering. They want experiences that inspire, connect, and energize. That’s why our ADD UP Party is designed to blend the best of interactive entertainment, gourmet catering, and the innovative magic of a silent disco — all in one seamless package.
The Rise of the Silent Disco: Why It Works
Silent discos have exploded in popularity across the Netherlands and Europe, becoming a go-to for companies like Facebook and Google. In 2024, 62% of organizations reported hosting hybrid or flexible events, with silent discos leading the way for their adaptability and inclusivity. But what makes this format so effective?

- Inclusivity: Multiple music channels mean everyone can dance to their own beat — whether it’s EDM, 80s classics, or chill-out tunes.
- Engagement: The novelty and interactivity of silent discos break down social barriers, encouraging even the shyest team members to join in.
