Science Symposium for Researchers: An Elegance Fused with Surprise
Drawing inspiration from the methodologies of industry giants, we're here to make your Science Symposium for Researchers an unforgettable event. Here's how we would incorporate the methodologies mentioned:
1. Venue Selection:
Inspiration from Colin Cowie's Luxury Events

Choose a sophisticated venue that offers state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure, possibly an upscale hotel ballroom or an elegant convention center.
Look for natural elements within the venue to integrate with your symposium theme. Water features, gardens, or atriums can add a luxurious touch.

2. Decor Nuances:
Blending David Tutera's Grand Dreams & Bassett Events' Elegance

Use a combination of classic and modern decor elements. Crystal chandeliers paired with cutting-edge LED displays for presentation.
Play with lighting to set the mood. Opt for adjustable lighting that can transition smoothly from a well-lit lecture to a dramatic Q&A session.
Arrange seating in a mixture of intimate round tables for group discussions and traditional rows for mainstage presentations. 

3. Interactive Features:
MKG's Instagram-Worthy Setups

Create dedicated "Instagram corners" or photo booths with thematic backdrops like a replicated lab setup or an artistic interpretation of famous science breakthroughs. This not only encourages social sharing but also adds an element of fun.
Use augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) stations to provide immersive experiences related to the science topics being discussed.

4. Unexpected Surprise Elements:
Bassett Events' Twist

Host a mystery keynote speaker, teasing their credentials without revealing their identity till the event day. This could be a prominent scientist or a figure from an entirely different field who can offer a fresh perspective.
Offer themed refreshments during breaks. Think nitrogen-frozen desserts or "scientific" mocktails served in beakers.

5. Immersive Brand Experiences:
Drawing from MKG & Colin Cowie

Incorporate live experiments or demonstrations related to the research topics being presented. Engage attendees by allowing them to participate.
For sponsors or institutions that have booths, encourage them to create experiences rather than just information stalls. For instance, a university might have a mini-lab setup where attendees can conduct a simple experiment.

6. Personal Touches:
David Tutera's Signature

Ensure that each attendee receives a personalized welcome package. This could include a custom-made program, personalized name badges, and some thematic freebies like a science-themed notebook or pen.
Provide a platform where attendees can share their own research or experiences in an open-mic format, ensuring everyone feels valued and involved.

Final Thoughts: 
Your Science Symposium for Researchers should be a blend of intellectual stimulation and experiential wonder. With inspirations from the best in the industry, you can craft an event that's not just informative but also immersive and unforgettable.
