A corporate event is a reflection of your business, and your reputation requires you to get it right. Proper organisation is crucial, whether your corporate event is for 10 people or 1000.
Are you feeling that pressure yet? RELAX! We’ve put together a handy guide to help you plan your event and make sure that nothing is forgotten, and your event is both memorable and productive.
Set a date and budget
As obvious as this may seem, it’s essential that the date of your event doesn’t overlap with other important dates or holidays. Check the calendar for the most appropriate options and run these by any colleagues who are required to attend.
A well estimated budget will guide other decisions, allowing you to provide the best quality event without setting the business into arrears.
Find a venue
The location of your event is central to other planning. There’s little point booking an incredible venue two hours from the main city for a one-day event. Likewise, the venue and catering should be able to comfortably accommodate the number of expected attendees. When scouting venues, consider:
- How many people will be attending?
- Is there ample parking and access to public transport?
- Is it easy to find?
- Does it meet your technological needs?
- Are there any requirements specific to your event?
- Does it fit the budget?
- Does it suit the duration of the event?
- Is the layout suitable to your style of event?
- Do you need a website built specifically for this event?
- Will there be an associated Facebook or Instagram page?
- Will you need to provide Wi-Fi on the day?
- Will the venue provide microphones and AV equipment for presentations?
- Are there sufficient outlets, extension cords and charging stations?
- Do you require screens or projectors?
- Will the event be livestreamed?
