How to Plan the Perfect Corporate Event for Your Company

Putting together a memorable corporate event takes a certain attention to detail. While you want
to facilitate networking and team-building opportunities, you also want to ensure your guests are
having a blast. Organizing such an event may seem overwhelming at first. However, there are
specific steps you can take to create an experience people will be talking about around the
office for months to follow.

Establish a Budget
Although people may view a budget as a limitation you should think of it more as an important
guideline. Your budget determines where you can host your event, what catering packages to
choose, and how much funds you there are for fun extras like decorations and team activities.
Don’t be surprised if a venue or caterer asks you about your budget right off the bat. This allows
them to find the best options for you within the range your company has allotted.

Set a Goal
If you’ve attended a multitude of corporate events you know one can drastically differ from
another. Still, no matter what kind of event you are planning you need to have a set goal in
place. For example, your weekend think-tank’s goal could be to forge stronger relationships
across multiple offices. Ultimately, the best planned events will find a balance between social
venue activities and work-place objectives. In order to achieve this, you want to structure that
social time around the activities relating to your goal.

Choose a Venue
Your first step in planning a corporate event is finding a charming event venue that suits your
needs. You will want to consider the size of the venue and how the architecture of the space
can accommodate the type of event you’re planning. For example, if your event is a summer
gala featuring barbecue you would want to select a venue with an outdoor space like a patio or
a garden for guests to hang out at. An event focused around business may call for a space with
a boardroom or conference area for a meeting environment.

Select Your Menu

Your venue choice will determine whether you need to book an outside caterer. Many venues
offer in-house catering options, but some venues that may be perfect for your event may not. In
this case you will want to research and ultimately book a caterer for your event. When sitting
down with them you want to make sure you’re equipped with the dietary needs of your guests.
Some guests may have allergies or may not eat certain items based on their religion. No matter
what the case is, you want to make sure there is something at your event for everyone to enjoy
eating.

Alert Guests and Book Corporate Event Speakers/Entertainment

Employees lead busy lives outside the office. With that being said, it is important to give your
guests as much notice as possible. This is especially true if your event requires an overnight or
weekend stay. Additionally, you want to book any speakers or entertainment far in advance.
Digital invitations are an efficient way to keep track of RSVPs. Try a service like Evite.com or
PaperlessPost.com to send out your invitations.

If teambuilding is a key goal of your event you will likely want to schedule a speaker or facilitator
to lead a talk or activity. Popular speakers often book very quickly so once you decide on a date
and location you want to contact your top choices. While DJs and other party entertainment are
easier to book than experts in their fields, at the same time you do not want to wait until the last
minute to lock in your event entertainment.
