The need for the right information in the corporate event planners’ world

The best corporate event planners are organized, efficient and talented at setting up wonderful events. Are you one of the best corporate event planners or could you still use a little help? Meeting planning tools may be the answer to your becoming one of those outstanding corporate event planners that everyone talks about.

Every corporate event planner that has an event in an unfamiliar city is always left holding their breath once they have made the hotel or conference room reservation. The reason is because, although there are hotel reviews on the internet, they all relate to the comfort of the room and living areas of a hotel. There is relatively no information as to the efficiency of the hotel as far as its conference facilities, like the needed computer technology for a corporate event, or even the availability or quality of service in transportation. For a corporate event planner this is a little like flying blindly through a mountainous region. It might end up well, but then again...

To a corporate event planner there are several aspects that are important when choosing the right hotel and those are:

• Site selection – Is the hotel within walking distance of a bar and restaurant district? Are there attractions nearby? How far is it from the airport or from the hosting company or Affiliate Company? What city is best suited to your meeting? New York, Boston, Las Vegas, Orlando, Chicago, Vail, Park City or perhaps the islands of Hawaii?
• Logistics/Room setup – How distant are the rooms from the conference area. Is the conference area easily accessible? Is there internet connectivity in the room?
• Invitations/registration – How difficult will it be for the event participants to register.
• Food and Beverage – How late is the restaurant area open? There might be cases where the participants get out late and want the availability of restaurant/bar facilities.
• On-site coordination Support – How helpful will management and hotel employees be to you the corporate event planners?.
• Audiovisual Equipment – Does the hotel furnish this service or make providers readily available. Will they have the equipment you need? Will it be in working order?
• Telecommunications – How difficult will internet connectivity, faxing services, phone availability be in the hotel ballrooms/meeting rooms?
• Air/ground Transportation – How difficult is the airport configuration for coordination and what will the pick-up or drop off area be?

All of the above aspects are on the corporate event planners mind and, generally, there are no reviews or professional opinions as to the veracity of these facilities or even as to the condition. As a general rule the corporate event planners have to go on the information the hotel gives them and that’s it. No other alternative options exisgt from a meeting planner perspective.!
