Top Features to Look for in a Conference Room Venue
Conference room essentials greatly depend on the purpose of the event. For instance, a video conference requires audiovisual equipment and secure Wi-Fi, while a seminar or a presentation may need projectors and screens. Ensure your assembly space is set up and ready for you.
Determine the accessibility. When searching for the perfect event space on Giggster, make sure it is easily accessible by public transport or has parking for attendees arriving by car. Ideally, your location is conveniently located near dining, shopping, lodging, and attractions, so participants can do their own thing after the convention is over.
What room size will work best? The size of your meeting room depends on the scale of the event. Are you hosting a large conference? A spacious warehouse may be just the place. Are you interviewing new candidates? Search for locations that can perfectly accommodate small get-togethers. Narrow your search on the app to find exactly what you need.
Have the necessary technology. While training sessions and workshops may only require office supplies, coffee, and comfortable seating, corporate events and seminars cannot go without quality AV equipment, high-speed internet, and digital whiteboards, to mention a few. Discuss the amenities and tech tools with the venue—maybe they can provide essential equipment if you ask.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Renting a Conference Room Location
Like all venues, boardrooms and auditoriums have their own pros and cons that can affect your experience.
Advantages
-
Unlike office spaces or other work-related venues, assembly rooms have a diverse range of readily available amenities to make your conferences run smoothly.
-
Renting a meeting room is a cost-effective solution. You can rent the space for as little as an hour or the entire day and pay a fraction of what you'll have to pay if you set up the place yourself with all the essential equipment.
-
Well-designed conference rooms look highly professional. This quality is greatly appreciated by new clients and customers.
Disadvantages
-
Some locations may lack the private space for sensitive discussions. Ensure you pick the right conference room to avoid unnecessary drama.
-
When renting a boardroom or a lecture room, you are bound by the rules of the building. These can include restrictions on working hours, customization possibilities, catering services, and more.
-
If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere, conference rooms don't always provide that. Either put up partitions to create a smaller space or book a meeting room.
Planning Your Conference Event
Every successful convention starts with meticulous planning. We help you find the perfect spot while you focus on setting up the essential equipment. Use our planning guide to make your summit a success.
Book the Location – If you are planning an important convention, don't wait until the last minute to book the location. Make the booking at least four months in advance to not run out of options.
Seating Arrangement – Comfortable seating is essential for a convention, especially if it's a longish day. Whether it's a classroom style or a theater seating plan, ensure each attendee has a comfortable seat.
Choose Your Tech Tools – Unless you are gathering your team for a collaborative session at your office space using only hard-copy materials, other meetings may require cutting-edge technology. Think interactive whiteboards, presentation tools like high-definition projectors, audio equipment, lighting, and more.
Consider Catering – Take your event to the next level with food to fuel the brain. Most summits and conferences use buffet-style catering, with multiple food, tea, and coffee stations set across the venue.
Saving Money on a Conference Event
Hosting a business meeting or a large-scale corporate event doesn't have to deplete your savings. Use these smart tips to maximize your budget for your next big event.
Determine your budget.
Setting up a successful convention or a summit is not cheap. Determine your budget to know exactly what you are dealing with. Venue rental prices can range from $30 to $300 or more per hour. Don't let hidden costs mess with your budget. Ask the venue about additional charges, such as use of equipment or cleaning fees.
Be flexible on dates.
Whether you want to throw a Christmas party on a budget or inexpensive networking sessions, booking during the off-peak season can give you a better selection of locations that not only tick all the right boxes but are affordable, too. Maximize your budget by booking on weekdays, preferably in the mornings and afternoons.
Get an accurate headcount.
Most corporate functions include food and drinks, which can be the highest expense if you are not careful. Know the number of attendees to avoid overspending. This can be arranged with RSVP invitations at least six weeks prior to the event.
