Venue Finding Agencies

When looking for venue finding agencies it is important not just to take them at face value.

In this day and age anyone can sit at home and build a professional looking website, fill it with marketing spiel, exaggerate their experience and pass themselves off as conference agents or venue finding agents.

Our advice when looking for venue finding is to always look for an about us section on their websites, check out their details at Companies House, google their name to see if anyone has had a bad experience with them, don’t be impressed by impressive testimonials as these can be easily faked and perhaps most important, phone them to get a feel for whether you think they can perform the service that meets your requirements.

The launch of a new UK Conference Centres directory looks set to make finding conference centres a far easier process with the aid of a regional search facility, county search facilty and even a town/city search facility.

Powered by a MySQL database, the directory provides information about the conference facilities provided by each individual conference centre, the sizes of conference rooms, the number of additional syndicate rooms, the accommodation provided (or located nearby), parking facilities, in fact all the information needed to find a conference centre  in your location and matching your budget.

7th August 2009 Organising successful residential meetings and trainings

Organising a residential training program or even a residential meeting is a completely different ball game to organising an evening event or a whole day affair. A residential program needs to take advantage of the fact that the participants are spending a couple of days if not more together and therefore activities need to be organized accordingly. Choosing the right kinds of residential meeting venues is the first step toward success with events like these.

Venue choice
Ideal choices for residential meeting or residential training venues are resorts or large hotels a little away from the city. Venues like these not only make the entire program more interesting but they also isolate the participants from their daily lives thus enabling them to focus on the activities and events on hand. Venues outside the city also have a great relaxing factor added to them and therefore make for a pleasant change of scene.

 

Activities

Well planned activities are crucial to the any residential program. Besides the meetings and training modules that you have as part of your agenda, you should also take advantage of such an opportunity to strengthen the bonds between your employees by organising structured team building activities. You should also factor in some fun time for the participants to let their hair down. While short listing residential meeting venues you should make sure that the venue you choose has ample space for all these activities at your disposal.

Accommodation

Accommodation is also another important aspect that you have to consider very carefully while choosing residential meeting or residential training venues. You should make sure that the accommodation that the venue is offering you has all the amenities that you think would be necessary for your participants in order for them to have a comfortable stay even if it is on a sharing basis.
