Planning for a corporate event
Planning is crucial for a corporate event. Many of the corporate events listed involve hundreds, if not thousands of attendees. A large group retreat takes careful planning. Depending on what type of corporate event you’re hosting, here are some key tips:
- Pick the right location. Start by finding the best country and city. Where is it convenient for most of your attendees to get to? Then, find a venue that best serves your purpose. This could be a house by the beach or event space in a hotel. Make sure it’s accessible, big enough, and comfortable.
- Design activities to meet your goal: The goal of your event must be the primary driver of your agenda. For instance, a product launch should combine memorable experiences with workshops to highlight your new product effectively.
- Work with reliable vendors: Find partners who you can depend on to be organized, on-time, and who are equipped to handle the number of people you are hosting.
- Promote the event in advance. Make sure your audience knows the event is happening with plenty of notice. Give people time to make travel and accommodation arrangements if they need to. Event advertising should happen on social media, marketing channels, and through email. If it’s a team retreat, give your team time to weigh in on what they wish to accomplish.
