Your final selection for the meeting venue will set the tone for the event and go a long way to deciding
whether it is successful or not. Whatever the focus of your meeting whether it be a conference, retreat,
or seminar for example your considerations are likely to be similar. What's more your aim will likely be
to generate a creative, productive and engaging environment.
The first consideration is to find the right location. It needs to be in a convenient spot for all attendees.
For example you are looking for meeting rooms in Phuket you should think about how easy it is in terms
of access for both local and international attendees. Is the location close to the airport? Are there
decent public transportation options? Is the accommodation nearby of a suitable standard? Answering
these questions satisfactorily could make all the difference to the success of your meeting. You may also
want to bear in mind local attractions and leisure options as these could offer a great bonus to your
guests or networking opportunities and downtime activities.
You will also need to consider the size and capacity of the venue that you choose. The space should
comfortably accommodate all of your attendees but should not be so large that it gives the feeling of
emptiness. You may also want to plan for breakout sessions, exhibitions, or specific networking areas.
This will give the general impression of great planning and organisation.
Naturally, the amenities and facilities on offer at the venue are also important. In Phuket, you will find
meeting venues equipped with the most up-to-date technology Internet connectivity and furnishings all
of which will combine to enhance the attendees' experience. It may pay you to check whether or not a
venue offers an online catering service and if it does whether it can provide for specific dietary needs so
that all your guests can feel catered for. An excellent catering facility will reflect well on your planning
and will lubricate and satisfy your guests.
The overall atmosphere of the venue is also of great importance. You should try to match the purpose of
your event with the mood of the environment. This will help to set the tone that you would like for your
meeting, conference or seminar. In Phuket, you will be able to find a range of environmental venues to
satisfy this requirement. Whether you are looking for a sophisticated and rather serious conference
environment or a more relaxed beachfront location you will find that everything that you might want is
available.
You will of course also need to consider your budget. You may want to establish these guidelines early
on in your research and then decide upon a venue which you feel offers good value for money.
Although you may be tempted to look at luxurious options you should consider whether all the high-end
benefits on offer are really necessary and whether they meet your financial constraints. You will
probably also find that many venues can offer flexible pricing to meet the needs of a range of different
customers. This will provide you with an opportunity to select a venue that is most suited to your
requirements.
