With nearly 2 million conferences available to attend every year, conference-goers have a lot of choices when it comes to which events they put in their calendars. Because of that, if you’re at the helm of putting together a company get-together or trade function, you’ve got to bring your A-game.
One of the most important aspects of making your function a must-attend engagement is the event space you choose as a backdrop which is the focus of this write-up. Below, we discuss key factors to keep in mind when considering where your buzz-worthy event is going to set up shop.
- Location, Location, Location
Nothing is more important when it comes to the event space you select than where it’s located. After all, if you choose to host your conference or similar get-together in a far-flung place, you run the risk of audiences seeing a lengthy or complicated commute as too big a barrier for them to attend.
Always pick event spaces that are as convenient to get to as possible, even if doing so costs a little extra. You’ll find that the additional revenue you’ll be able to pull from increased attendance should offset your splurge.
- Consider Capacity
Get a headcount for your event as quickly as possible so you can make sure your space can accommodate your attendees.
In general, we recommend going with a venue that accommodates about 5% to 10% fewer guests than you think may turn out in a best-case scenario. That way, you can keep costs down and will have a good chance of making your get together feel popular.
- Go With Unconventional
Not conforming to conventions can go a long way when creating a buzz-worthy event.
So, if you’re thinking of renting out the back room of a restaurant for your function, get more creative. Instead, look at unique local options like the rooftop of an apartment or an empty studio that you can mold into something special.
By thinking outside of the box when it comes to your venue, you’ll put yourself in a position where you can shake up your guest’s expectations.
- Accessibility is Key
Not only is ensuring your location is accessible to guests with disabilities the right thing to do, but it may also be the law depending on where you live. Most spaces you rent will already have legal accommodations in place that satisfy handicap considerations but be sure to double-check before putting down a deposit.
You don’t want your event to be remembered for excluding minority populations.
The Event Space You Use Will Leave Important Impressions
The first thing your audience will notice when attending your function will be the event space. Because of that, never underestimate the importance of carefully considering venues and give yourself time to zero in on the perfect place.
