Corporate Events & Team Building Ideas

In today’s market, where there is a greater supply of meeting rooms and conference space than ever before, it is imperative to ensure that the space you buy is conducive to your objectives.

Dedicated conference centres have a successful history of providing specialized conference space to the corporate market as well as other sectors such as education and the public sector. It is only in recent years that we have noticed a dramatic increase in supply from venues such as stadiums, museums, pubs and even coffee shops. Any venue with space to spare can offer meeting facilities but it will benefit the client to find conference space that has been purposefully designed to include the facilities and service that will contribute to the overall success of a dedicated conference.

There are certain clear benefits of using dedicated conference space, the top 5 being:

Specialized space - It will be clear when you find a venue that offers dedicated conference space. The tell tale signs will be that the venue is not open to the public; these kind of organizations do not cater for the leisure market. The venue will offer dedicated conference facilities designed with the facilitator in mind, offering break-out rooms in the immediate proximity of the main room; state of the art equipment to meet the speaker’s requirements; and nearby facilities for refreshments to save wasting time during breaks. You should feel that the venue has been designed around your needs as opposed to you having to plan your agenda around the functionality of the venue.

Space for exclusive use - A dedicated venue should have certain areas that can be used exclusively by your company. Some venues have been built in a modular design to offer self-contained units containing dedicated conference space, bedrooms and catering facilities in a purpose built unit, available for private use.

Space tailored around your needs - A dedicated venue should understand their prospective client’s objectives and be flexible enough to meet their requirements exactly. Where a venue benefits from a modular design with distinctive units and where different clients can be separated and offered exclusivity, it is often possible to create a space around the clients specific requirements. For example a coffee lounge can be used for an evening presentation combined with a cheese and wine reception; bedrooms can be turned into syndicate rooms to create trading offices or interview rooms; they should even be able to lay a temporary red carpet if you desire, or set up exhibition stands in the foyer if required. The fact is that a dedicated venue works around your requirements.   

Ample space to move around and work freely - Dedicated venues normally have a great supply of rooms available which vary in size. The required minimum number of delegates per room is usually very comfortable at such venues, allowing ample space for delegates to get around when they have to work together and present in groups.

Flexible conference space - Many of the larger dedicated venues offer flexible conference rooms with sound proof partitions, allowing for conference space to be increased or reduced in line with specific requirements.

It is safe to say that a client with clear objectives and specific requirements should turn to a dedicated venue to help them deliver the desired results. Dedicated venues work in partnership with their clients, drawing on their experience to advise them of the best ways to utilise the conference space to meet their specific requirements.
