In an age where most communication is done online a successful business conference can often bring to light problems you previously thought were dealt with. The first step in orchestrating such a conference is finding the right property to accommodate you and your guests but you’ll also need to know what you should actually be asking for. Here are a few pointers;
How many people can we fit? Also is there any chance for add ons at the last minute?
Is the space versatile? Can you move about any of the equipment and possibly move into another room if needs be?
Are meeting packages available? Often these include lunch and coffee but make sure to weigh up whether it’ll mean you sending the temp to Pret.
What audio-visual equipment is provided? It’s 2015. Enough said.
Is there sufficient wireless Internet access? Go to the Venue and check this beforehand. Often there are dead spots
Does the venue support our ideals?? It is important to find a venue that promotes your company’s values. For example If you strive to maintain an eco-friendly business, you should choose a venue that can host an eco-friendly conference
Are fun activities available? Team building is the unspoken goal of a conference and a good activity before or after can add a huge morale boost.
Can guests park onsite? Also public transport links and local cab numbers are a good thing to have on hand
