3 Steps to Plan a Successful Corporate Event
by Kevin Smith AuthorWhether your company has ten or
ten-thousand employees, here are some tips you can implement when you want to
plan a successful corporate event.
Step 1, Plan
The first thing you will want to determine
is the purpose of your event. This will help you decide on a venue,
entertainment, and everything else. If your goal is networking you will want to
host the gathering in a place that lends itself to conversation like a
restaurant, wine lounge, or hotel conference space. If your goal is relaxation
and fun then you will want to host it in a place where employees and their
families can enjoy the day, like a bowling alley, zoo, baseball park, etc.
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box
when it comes to corporate social event ideas in Atlanta, GA. Just keep your
budget and your attendees in mind.
Step 2, Prepare
Planning in advance will go a long way to
help you stay on budget and on task. If you are planning a large event, don’t
attempt to do everything on your own. You can delegate tasks to other coworkers
who want to help.
Be sure to include room in your budget for
invitations. If you want members of the public to attend your event you will
want to spend some time organizing a marketing campaign as well. Once again the
early bird gets the worm. Begin advertising and inviting people to the event
several weeks in advance so they have time to clear their schedules. Double
check all preparations before the big day to make sure all of your payments and
reservations are settled, and keep track of receipts and communications with
the venue or catering staff so you can address any issues that may arise.
Step 3, Party
Now that all of the plan and prep is done,
it’s time to party. Remember to be optimistic and keep the atmosphere as one of
enjoyment. If you have a negative or stressful attitude about the event it will
trickle down to your volunteers and soon your attendees as well, and then it
doesn’t matter how nice the event looks, if no one enjoys themselves it will
not be a success.
For more corporate social event ideas in
Atlanta, GA, you can look online or brainstorm with coworkers. Ask them
what events they attended in the past that were enjoyable and see if you can
learn from their successes. For more feedback you could send out a pre-event
survey to see what type of gatherings your employees would like to attend, or
have surveys available after or during the event to see what went well and what
could be improved upon for next year.
