As companies become increasingly globalised, the importance of well-planned strategy sessions and conferences has become more pronounced than ever before. Conferences are an excellent opportunity to share important insights, lessons, ideas and plans with key stakeholders.

As companies become increasingly globalised, the importance of well-planned strategy sessions and conferences has become more pronounced than ever before. Conferences are an excellent opportunity to share important insights, lessons, ideas and plans with key stakeholders.

Since we’re all busier than ever before, a conference that respects delegates’ time and effort will be much more effective and useful for your company. But how do we plan a conference that not only covers all the important points, but also ensures that attendees are enjoying the experience? With proper planning, it’s possible to host a conferencing event that’s sure to be a success.

Choosing the right venue is arguably the most important part of your conference planning process. Be aware of any specific requirements your event will have, such as specialised technology or the amount of seated space available. In most cases, you will require a large room in which to present results or ideas. Knowing how many delegates will be attending will make it easier to find the right sized main venue.

It’s also essential to take any disabilities or limitations into consideration. Does the venue have wheelchair access? Ensure that all areas that will need to be accessed by any delegates is easily accessible and comfortable.

When choosing a venue for your conference, it’s essential to do a walk-through of the premises to ensure that all areas meet your requirements. Once you’re satisfied with the main hall, consider your needs regarding smaller breakaway rooms. Depending on the size and purpose of your conference, delegates may need a more intimate setting in which to have smaller group conversations.

Knightsbrook offers a wide range of options when it comes to conference rooms. For large groups, the Barbican Suite is versatile and can accommodate up to 1000 delegates. Smaller groups may prefer the Hugh de Lacy and Gulliver’s Golf Suites, each able to accommodate up to 200 guests. More information about our conference venue options can be found here

One of the common hassles with conferences is that delegates need to travel out of their way to attend. This normally results in uninspiring venues that are within a close driving distance of the office. Luckily, there are options when it comes to conferencing venues that offer on-site accommodation. Knightsbrook offers a wide variety of accommodation options, making it possible to host your guests in style.To find out more about the different room types, please reach out to us here.
