What to look for when sourcing a venue
Finding the right venue involves juggling several factors. First, the venue must accommodate the right number of attendees and have suitable meeting spaces with the right equipment and facilities.The location should also have good transport links and sufficient parking if required.If you’re hosting a drinks reception or a conference for several days, it’s important to think about food and beverage options, as well as accommodation if required. The overall cost, including any additional fees (important to keep an eye out for hidden costs) will also determine your venue hire.The venue you ultimately pick will also be determined by the type of event you’re hosting. Some of the events companies hold at corporate meeting venues might include:- Meetings with clients or customers: a meeting venue can provide a professional setting creating a positive impression and helping to build constructive relationships
- Internal meetings or training sessions: an external venue can provide a neutral location for team meetings or training sessions, supporting productive discussions, and encouraging participation
- Conferencing or events: the right space can provide the facilities required for larger-scale hybrid events such as seminars, lectures, or product launches
- Team-building activities: the ideal location for off-site training or group activities, helping to develop team cohesion and boost morale
Now that we’ve covered what to look for, you can be confident that you’ll know it when you see it.
