When it comes to a business hosting a conference, seminar, client meeting or training event finding the right conference venue and location that suits your business groups individual needs is key to having a successful and memorable business event. And choosing the right venue for any of your many business events is all down to a number of factors.
First of all consider location. You need to think about the logistics of getting there, not only for you but for all your work colleagues and business associates, therefore choosing a venue or hotel with access to free parking and located with immediate proximity to all the main traffic routes, road, rail, sea and air is a top priority. Indoor the place should come with all the most modern and up to date conference facilities with free Wi-Fi available in every room. The conference rooms themselves should ideally have the latest audio-visual and IT technologies as well as a business centre with administrator and secretarial services for all your business needs.
Another key point when selecting conference or meeting rooms is the size. Too big and it could be seen as excessive expenditure and energy, too small and it can get crowded and uncomfortable. So consider the size of the room you require for your business event. Do you need a large theatre room for large presentations that can be cordoned off for training events or a smaller more intimate room for private meetings and conference calls? And for many business events such as product launches and client meetings you need to think of the company image you want to present to business colleagues and potential new clients. Do you want to portray your business as austere and traditional, or modern and trendsetting?
Also consider your colleagues other needs outside of the business meeting or conference event. If they are travelling from far and wide they may need to stay there overnight so maybe look at a hotel for your conference. And a meeting room/conference venue should be located in a quiet section of the building with access to food and drink facilities for mid morning or lunchtime breaks and post business lunch. Again a hotel with business rooms situated close to their restaurants, bars and lounge areas help solve the issue. Finally consider venues where there are many recreational and entertainment facilities that offer people a break from the days business event. Hotels with spas, health and leisure centres are a bonus as well as are ones situated in scenic surrounds with access to golf courses and, as the finest hotel near Midleton, explore local attractions as they offer the visiting business attendees a chance to let off steam, relax and enjoy their stay post conference.
