Where is the best place to hold a business conference?

best place to hold business conferenceWe all know that one of the best ways to nurture teamwork and foster innovation is to hold inspiring and productive company meetings. Beyond inviting the right speakers, creating amazing presentations and showing off with various technological bells and whistles, the meeting venue selection goes a long way toward creating company solidarity. That is why one of the most common questions our meeting planners hear is, “Where is the best place to hold my company meeting?”

Our answer is always, “It depends.”

Then we follow up with a bunch of questions about you, your company, your co-workers/employees/clients and your meeting objective.

The biggest mistake people make during venue selection is looking for “the best”.

What happens when you search for “the best hotel”? You get generic lists of luxury hotels. But maybe a five star hotel isn’t best for your objective.

“What?!,” you say. It’s a novel idea, we know. But really think about it. A 5 star hotel offers services and accommodations that some people just aren’t comfortable with. Additionally, luxury hotels come with luxury prices that your guests may not be willing to pay. Even if you pay for the rooms, your guests may be dissatisfied with the overpriced spa and mini bar prices.

Your meeting objective is the key.

The best venue for a business meeting is one that will help you meet your objective. If your objective is to incentivize your sales team, you need to take your sales team into consideration. Maybe your sales team consists of mostly middle-class family men and women. You don’t want to burden them with a large incidental bill. On the other hand, if your objective is to impress big name clients that consist of upper-class business owners, you’ll want that 5-star hotel!

This is why, at Teamings, we ask all those questions when helping our clients plan their corporate events, meetings and retreats. Focusing on a meeting’s objective and attendees is the only way to truly get the best venue.

If you need help, a Teamings Productivity Officer can make this process quick and painless. Contact Teamings today or call 1-888-278-9040 for more info.
