Making your next Corporate event the best

In this article we share our top tips on improving your conference or awards, for both delegates and organisers.

There are a multitude of simple an effective ways to improve your corporate event.

The Venue

One of the initial tasks is looking at the right venue for your event. Intimacy and requirements are key and need to be reflected in the venue, there is no point booking an arena for a 200 person awards ceremony. Then again, if a local hall is booked, the wrong impression is given off and the venue will not be able to cope with the scale of tables, food and staging required.

A large banqueting hall in a well run hotel or conference centre would work far better for this. They will be well equipped and experienced in providing these styles of event and therefore a much safer bet. Most AV companies such as Stage Engage have a directory of trusted venues, where we have an established working relationship. Contact us today to discuss your event.

The AV

The AV and staging is one of the most important factors between your event running slickly and professionally or it seeming amateurish and having poor delegate re-attendance. Here at Stage Engage we conduct client meetings and provide solutions to your requirements and issues after discussing your event in detail.

We have the highest quality equipment and staff to ensure the best delivery every time. It is always better to get your AV team involved as early on in the process, we are the experts and will be able to assist you in useful ways. Your technical event team can make or break an event and you can trust Stage Engage to deliver.

Content Management

If you’re planning an event that’s going to blow your guests out of the water, you’re going to need to think about content workflow management. But don’t panic; it’s easier than you think. There are plenty of new software options designed to help you manage your required content seamlessly, thus avoiding any last minute calamities in the run up to your event.

Alternatively, you can leave it all to us at Stage Engage, and we’ll pull everything together for you. The quality of your content is also key, there is no use creating a PowerPoint with amazing animations, timing and transitions only for it to not be readable or there to be issues with video. We are more than happy to provide advice and support with this.
