When it comes to organising a corporate away day, one of the first questions is ‘where are we going to do this?’. Hotels are the first point of call, but are they the best choice or are there better venues? There’s really no arguing the convenience factor for hotels. Everything for the corporate away day is in one location. Meeting rooms, restrooms, food, parking, tech support if the projector breaks. You don’t have to coordinate several suppliers or figure out the logistics. You book the hotel and they handle all the rest. But with all the other venues, like purpose-built conference centers, quirky sites like museums or galleries, and outdoor…

It should be simple to find office Christmas party venues, but somehow has proven repeatedly to be one of the most complicated tasks of the holiday season for planners. While hotels can be a safe bet, not all of them have the proper configuration for a holiday party. When considering venues, location also has to be considered.

How planning a conference in a hotel can be very straightforward as one would assume; however, as one begins to get into the nitty-gritty’s, they will realise that there is a lot more to be considered in planning a conference than just room bookings and sandwich selections. The first thing that needs to be determined are the numbers. Hotels want a rough idea, and you need to know what size room to get. Make sure to add around ten percent to your expected attendance, as someone is always bound to bring a colleague that you weren’t informed of. It is always better to have slightly more room than to be…
