How to Go About Planning a Corporate Event



Banquet Hall - Parkfield Resort
In the past, companies did not encourage much bonding between the employees or colleagues, or between the other stakeholders of the company. Things have changed drastically since then. Organizations would like to be perceived as more employee friendly and moreover financial circumstances having improved considerably with the result being that they are willing to spend on more grand events. Corporate events range everything from product launches to partnership tie-ups, from press conferences to annual parties in grand resorts or banquet halls in Bangalore. Corporate events have become an important and integral part of modern-day business activities. When involved in corporate event planning, here are a few things you need to be mindful of:

·         1. Depending on why the event is being organized, you need to decide whether it has to be a formal or informal gathering? How many attendees? Would you need to send invites? Etc.

·         2. You need to make sure that the venue is suitable for the kind of event you are hosting and also has the proper capacity to keep your targeted audience comfortable, and that the décor, theme and seating arrangement is apt. Also make sure the venue will be able to supply or handle the accessories and props that your might need, like an overhead projector for instance.

·         3. Food is an important part of any event and, hence, is worthy of serious consideration. Whether you choose a buffet kind of meal or you would prefer a high-tea kind of set up depends on how long your event is expected to last and at what time it is held. For some events you may have to organize all the meals as well as snacks in between meals too.

·          4. If the duration of your event is longer than a day or if you are expecting people from other cities to be part of it, then suitable accommodation and necessary transportation for them has to be arranged too. Otherwise, one of the day out resorts in Bangalore should suffice. Do remember to keep the guests informed on the facilities available to them.

·         5. You could choose to have some kind of entertainment during or after the meal, which will make your event even more memorable. If it is an event that warrants some memento or corporate gift to be given to the participants, then this would be another point of serious consideration.

Managing any corporate event is difficult, but if it is a large-scale event, like a trade show, or a corporate annual or family day, then the numerous aspects that have to be addressed may render the process as being quite complicated. This is where taking help from the professionals may come in handy. There are a lot of companies who are into corporate event planning or event marketing these days who will handle the entire event for you, right from the planning through the execution and the evaluation stages. You could also request the resort that you choose to host your event to suggest some suitable event management company for you who will rid you of the burden of single-handedly handling a mega corporate event.
