It doesn’t take a lot to ensure that you are throwing the perfect corporate or business event, but there is one thing you should always keep in mind. Never skimp. You don’t need to break the bank or go way over budget either. We’re talking about maintaining careful attention to detail, not cutting corners, and always going with quality services over those cut-rate companies.
This is important to remember whether you’re hiring the catering company or the corporate event venue durham nc. Missing any detail could result in a major snafu somewhere along the way and your event could end up ruined. Even worse, you are the one responsible for the planning of the event so if it doesn’t go off without a hitch, you are the one who will probably get blamed even if the actual problem wasn’t your fault.
Don’t leave something so important to chance, a failed corporate event could weigh poorly on your business, especially if the attendees include employees, colleagues, clientele, vendors, and any other individuals who should be impressed by the proceedings. Let’s not blow this, here are the major points to consider when you are ready to throw that perfect corporate event:
The Venue
Without the right venue, your party is all but sunk. So, you want to locate the ideal place for your shindig as it will very easily have an impact on your party, either good or bad. For starters, you want the venue to be large enough to accommodate your guest list. Going over capacity is the fastest way to have your event shut down by the fire marshal.
Next, be sure the venue is big enough to allow you to conduct all of your planned activities. There is nothing worse than a corporate event where everything on the agenda is happening at the same time on top of each other.
Agenda
Speaking of your planned activities, what do you plan to do at this event? Will you have a sit-down dinner or all-day workshops and symposiums with guest speaker panels? If there is a dinner, do you need a catering company to create a menu and serve food or will you have food trucks parked out front?
All of these should be considered because you will need to know who else to hire and it will play a role in the size of venue you select.
Security Detail
Nothing is more important than the safety and security of your guests. Regardless of who is attending your event, you want to be sure that it is fully secured with a good security staff. You can decide if that requires armed guards at every entrance or a simple security firm keeping a lookout on the proceedings throughout the day.
If nothing else, depending on the number of people attending you may want to have bag checks and maybe a metal detector as the most basic of security measures. If you are expecting major VIP’s you might want to increase these measures for everyone’s reassurance.
