When it comes to planning corporate events it can be painful and tedious, when it comes to planning corporate events it's big, hairy, and audacious. Corporate event planning is not for the faint of heart, it requires much planning, and the details can make it or break it. Save yourself some time and jot down some tips to make your event planning smooth sailing.
The first step in preparation for the corporate event is the planning and vision behind it. If you have not planned out every meticulous detail, you could run into problems, and you don't want that with an event of this size. Jot down all of your ideas on paper and begin the brain storming process there, as you slowly get closer to the event you can transform the notes into an outline.
While in the planning stages of the event the second tip is to secure your venue as soon as possible. Some venues will allow a year in advance reservation, so it's important to get that done early on. Expect a deposit for the reservation. The best venues will go fast so make this your top priority.
Budgeting in the beginning stages of the planning will save you lots of money, but give yourself some cushion for the unexpected expenses. Budgeting will also give you a structured process, which will help keep the event on schedule.
The fourth tip is to make sure you have all the odds and ends covered. You will most likely have disabled attendees which means you need to have special accommodations with parking and seating. This will directly affect where they sit which means you will need to have a seating chart. These details if not addressed early on could cause major problems. Don't forget the music, lighting, and other miscellaneous details that could bit you in the butt if you forget about them.
