Planning a conference event is tough. You have many decisions to make in the process. But what if you're making the wrong decisions? Before you start finalizing your contracts, compare your to-do list and see if you're making these top conference planning mistakes. Choosing The Wrong Space Choosing the wrong corporate venues can cost you big time. Don't minimize your options strictly because of your budget. You can very well choose a large space without going over budget. Cramming everyone into a space that is limited is not conducive to an amazing conference. Reserving a Conference Centre Without Wi-Fi Whether you've secured the Aston conference centre or the Edinburgh training and conference venue, if your clients don't have access to Wi-Fi the event might not be a hit. Most business events require Wi-Fi at one point or another for training or communication. If you opt for an event space without Wi-Fi simply because it's more affordable, then this could become an issue. Failing to Communicate Your Goals Failure to communicate your goals is a one-way track to serious problems. Let your team know what your plan is upfront. Corporate venues provide plenty of options to choose from, but it is up to you to communicate your goals to both your team and the event provider. Let the event space know what your plans are and how long you'll need the event space for. If you don't you could end up with a good deal of issues on the day of the event. Failing to Give Credit Where it is Due Make sure that your team knows how important they are to the success of the event itself. You'll also want to reach out to advertisers, donators, and suppliers to let them know how much their help meant to the success of your conference. Failing to do so could leave you without connections the next time you host an event. These mistakes can cost you greatly. Whether you're choosing the Aston Conference Centre or the Edinburgh training conference venue, keep them in mind to make the most of your event.
