For 20+ years, the hardest part of running corporate events wasn’t the budget, the catering, or the venue logistics.
It was the 100 different guests pulling me aside to demand a specific song from the DJ or the band.
“Can you make them play my song next?”, “It’s someone’s birthday”, “Can you dedicate a song for me”...etc.
But as an event planner, it highlighted a massive missed opportunity.
The music is always the one thing guests ask about the most.
They don’t just want to passively watch a performance or listen to background music anymore.
They want to actively participate and feel like they are a core part of the event itself.
We needed a way to turn passive attendees into active participants, without turning our teams into human jukeboxes.
That’s when everything changed. We created the world’s most innovative live music experience: uRequest Live.
Instead of a one-way concert, we gave the audience real-time control over the setlist.
Guests simply scan a code on their phones or use a digital kiosk to request their favorite songs.
The friction is completely gone. No more shoulder-tapping. No more frustration when the vibe isn’t right.
The crowd curates the exact energy they want, transforming standard corporate events into unforgettable, audience-powered celebrations.
But here is the real magic for us on the business side:
It delivers measurable engagement.
Instead of just hoping people are having fun, we get real data and analytics to prove the ROI of our entertainment.
Watch the short video below to see exactly how it works.
The era of passive entertainment is over. It’s time to put your guests in control.

Want to know what our team at Fusion Events is most proud of right now? It's watching 500 people simultaneously pull out their phones not to scroll Instagram, but to control a live band.
This is uRequest Live in action, and honestly, it's changed everything about how we think about entertainment at corporate events
You book a band, they play their setlist, people clap politely, someone gives a speech, everyone goes home. Safe. Predictable. Instantly forgettable.
But when you let the audience actually REQUEST the songs in real time through a simple QR code scan, something electric happens. The energy shifts from "I'm attending an event" to "I'm part of this experience."
We've been running uRequest Live at events for a while now, and the pattern is consistent. Three things happen every single time.
✦ People stay engaged for the entire performance instead of wandering to the bar after twenty minutes
✦ Social sharing goes through the roof because attendees want to show their friends they controlled the music
✦ The post event feedback specifically mentions the interactive entertainment as a highlight
The tech is beautifully simple. Scan the QR code displayed on screen. Browse the band's full song library. Vote for what you want to hear. Most requested songs get played. The giant screen updates in real time so everyone sees what's winning.
No app download. No complicated login. No friction between "I want to participate" and actually participating.
What makes me genuinely proud is watching a corporate crowd that walked in with crossed arms and polite smiles turn into an energized group debating whether the band should play Journey or Bruno Mars next. That transformation from passive audience to active participants is exactly what events should do but rarely accomplish.
The band feeds off the energy. The audience feels heard. The event becomes memorable instead of forgettable. And you, the planner, become the person who finally brought something different to the table.
Is your audience ready to take control, or are you still making them sit through someone else's playlist?

Everyone's on their feet. Looks amazing, right?
But here's what your post-event survey won't tell you, half of them are standing because everyone else is standing.
The difference between a polite audience and an ENGAGED audience? Data you can actually see.
With uRequest Live, your guests aren't just watching the show. They're IN it. 🎵
✦ They're voting on the next song from their phones
✦ Their names flash on screen when their request gets picked
✦ They're creating Instagram stories because THEY made something happen
✦ You get real-time engagement metrics, not feelings
That performer on stage? Still crushing it. But now the audience has skin in the game. They're not wondering when it's acceptable to leave. They're competing to get their song played next.
This is what interactive entertainment actually looks like. Not "we had an app." Not "it was great energy." Measurable participation that turns attendees into active participants.
The standing ovation in this photo is nice. But imagine if you could prove WHY they stood up. 📊
What's your actual engagement metric at events? Or are we still going with "the vibes were immaculate"?

What makes this special? The human element remains intact while technology enhances the experience. Your favorite songs, performed by professional musicians, all orchestrated through a user-friendly digital interface.
The future of live entertainment isn't about replacing traditional elements, it's about enhancing them. We're proving that technology can make authentic experiences even more engaging, more accessible, and more memorable.

Interactive event entertainment is evolving faster than anyone predicted. The old model of passive audiences is officially dead.
When URequest Live hit the scene, we didn't just change the game. We rebuilt the entire stadium.
Traditional bands play what they want. We let your guests control the entire show through our network of interactive kiosks and mobile integration points. Every song. Every moment. Every transition.
The results? Our venues consistently report 90% attendee participation rates. That's not just engagement. That's total immersion.
Your guests walk into the venue. Instead of finding their seats and waiting for something to happen, they're immediately part of the experience. They're voting. They're requesting. They're creating the exact show they want to see.
No more request slips. No more shouting at the band. Just smooth digital integration that turns every guest into a show producer.
This isn't just about music. It's about creating an environment where every person feels like they're directing their own entertainment experience. The psychology is simple. People invest more in experiences they help create.
The corporate event landscape has shifted. Your guests don't want to watch a show anymore. They want to be the show.
That's why global brands trust us to deliver experiences that transform attendees from passive observers into active participants. Because when you give people control, they give you engagement in return.
Want to see what 90% participation looks like at your next event? Let's talk about your dates.

Your "curated setlist" is why nobody's dancing.
You spent $15K on that jazz trio. The musicians are incredible. Technically flawless. Playing beautiful renditions of songs nobody under 50 requested.
Meanwhile, your attendees are in the bathroom checking their phones because you've given them zero agency in an experience they're supposed to be enjoying.
Here's what most event planners get wrong about live entertainment. You're hiring performers who treat your audience like a captive focus group for their artistic vision. The band plays what they want. The DJ spins their vibe. Your guests? They're just supposed to appreciate the craft.
That's not engagement. That's a recital.
uRequest Live flips this entire model. Instead of your entertainment performing AT people, the audience controls what happens next. They pull out their phones, vote on songs in real time, and watch the band play what they actually want to hear. No artistic tantrums. No "we don't know that one." Just pure, tech-driven audience participation that turns passive listeners into active people.
Think about it. You let your C-suite make decisions in every other part of their lives, but at your event they're supposed to sit quietly and enjoy someone else's Spotify playlist performed live?
The tech integrates smoothly. The energy is immediate. And here's the best part, when people feel like they're controlling the experience, they stop checking out. They lean in. They stay. They talk about it after.
Your competitors are still hiring musicians who play for themselves. You could be hiring entertainment that gives the audience the remote control.
What's stopping you from letting your attendees actually participate in the experience you're creating for them?
