Em Cia
Try to choose a venue that’s most convenient and appealing to the guests you’re hoping to
attract. If it’s an after-work networking event, try to plan it nearest to where your invitees go
to work all day, or along the popular commute home route. If it’s a weekend function, try to
select a venue that is a destination unto itself – on the water, with sunset views, or at a
rooftop lounge. While you can’t capture the perfect location for everybody, you can pick a
spot that’s easy to get to, isn’t accessible only via the most gridlocked highway in the area,
and generally speaking, isn’t off the beaten track. This one’s a biggie, and not to be
underestimated.
Technological Components
While some events are more high touch than high tech, technology matters, and you’ll need
to ensure the event space is equipped to handle your needs as seamlessly as possible. Some
questions to ask include: is the audio-visual in the room high quality, and easy to handle? Are
screens available to show presentations, or to help mark the room with your client’s logos and
branding? Is there a microphone available to address guests during speeches? If you’d like
background music, can you pipe in a curated playlist of songs? Technology can get a bad rap,
but sets the event’s atmosphere and ambience in a way that nothing else can.
