Seeing is believing! Seeing a location can be so important to the success of an event. Here's why I think they're so important.
Room Setups
When I venture out to find a conference space that will fit the needs of my various programs I talk with hotel sales staff a lot about whether or not we will fit in a room based on the preferred setup. I thought this would be a great opportunity to talk about a few of the different types of room setups, how they work within a space, and other things to consider within a room when choosing a location for your event.
Force Majeure and Selection
Contracting a hotel block and meeting space is a very typical job of a meeting professional. That's why I wanted to make sure that it was part of last week's NC SGMP Conference. We had two planners, two hoteliers, and a CVB representative speak on a panel about contracts. The information that was shared proved to be one of the most valuable parts of the conference.
