Special Considerations for Venue Appraisal
In addition to the Venue Selection Checklist you will also want to bear in mind the nature of the meeting and if it adds any special considerations to the choice of venue.
For example, if you are showcasing a new product to key customers you may wish to erect visual displays. This is something that will have to be cleared with the venue and should be added to the checklist.
If the meeting is primarily a team building exercise then the venue will need to be able to accommodate the additional sports, entertainment and social requirements that team building requires.
For meetings or conferences attended by non-employees you will want a reception area where delegates can register, collect their name badges, hand outs and meeting agendas.
If playing host to international attendees (link to international meetings) the venue must be able to cater for any requirements they may have such as food preferences, sightseeing and organising travel arrangements.
A list of all special considerations relating to the upcoming meeting should be included in the venue selection checklist before desk research is conducted.
