subject: How to Find the Right Venue for Your Business Event [print this page] Finding the right venue for your business event is as important as the event itself. Your venue is the backdrop that will stay in people's memories, long after it has ended so it is critical to be on target.
Locating the right venue takes work but doesn't have to be drudgery. In fact, the right focus and a few intelligent steps can reward you with the right locale every time;
Understand that the venue must match and comment the event.
Initially, you and any partners should have a clear vision of how you would like it all to play out. It is imperative that you write out or mind map a description for every detail you can possibly think of.
After you have done this effectively, you will have a good idea as to the type of venue that will be a good fit. Remember, as stated above, the backdrop sets the tone for everything else.
Searching for Your Locale.
There are two reasonably easy ways to find a good location fast;
Google your event type, plus your town/city. For example, you can type "business networking event, New York City" into Google and take a look at the types of venues other events are held at. Make a list of the places, including names, addresses, phone numbers, etc..
Another way is to send a message to all of your online social network friends and ask if they know of a place for your event. Not everyone will respond of course, but those that do will give you some additional resources to look into.
To expand on your list, you should take the additional step of Googling the types of venues to find even more and placing phone calls to each. For example, you would Google "hotel conference rooms".
Set an appointment and physically visit the venue for inspection.
If you don't take this step, you could really blow it. Some people trust online photos but nothing can do a locale injustice like photographs. I must emphasize that it is well worth the gasoline and time it will take to inspect several locations if you have to.
When you are there, you can look around and imagine the way that things will go. Also, you will naturally come up with more ideas for your event.
Make your decision.
After you have put in the foot work and taken into consideration other factors like price and seasonal availability, it's time to make a decision. You must keep the finished picture in the forefront of your mind the entire time. If you don't, you can lose perspective and miss key things that could cause your event to be less than desired.
