What's the ideal venue for a team-building seminar?
Preparing a team-building seminar requires excellent organisation to satisfy all the participants while achieving the objectives set by the company. The venue, activities, catering and accommodation all need to be decided according to your objectives and budget. Here are a few tips and parameters to take into account to ensure that your team building seminar runs smoothly.
Organising a team-building seminar in a suitable venue
The choice of venue for your team-building seminar is very important, as it must meet a number of conditions to ensure that all your expectations are met and that your event is well organised.
From a rational point of view, your seminar venue must be ideally located to limit travel. You need to choose a strategic location based on where your participants are coming from. Choose establishments that are easy to reach by any means of transport (car, train, plane).
From a more subjective point of view, you should also choose a venue that corresponds to the image of your company: classic, traditional, modern, even innovative...
Make sure you take into account the standing of the establishment in your choice, as this is also a message you are sending to your teams. For example, the venue for your team-building seminar should not look too chic, and therefore expensive, or, on the contrary, be seen by your guests as being a little 'stodgy'.
How do you choose the venue for your team-building seminar?
To choose the venue for your team building seminar, you need to define the duration of the event. Organising a one-day team-building seminar does not require the same budget or the same logistics as a stay that includes accommodation.
It's also a good idea to calculate the maximum distance or travel time to get to the venue for your team-building seminar. Knowing these kinds of details will help you refine your search for the ideal venue for your team-building seminar.
You also need to define the number of participants invited to your team-building seminar. This will enable you to determine a total budget and an approximate budget per person.
Choosing the right venue for team-building seminars
Defining the exact number of participants for your team-building seminar also enables you to choose a venue with sufficient capacity. It's very important not to feel lost in a space that's too big or cramped, with the risk of being too close to other company groups.
It is also preferable to choose a location that combines work, catering, accommodation, leisure and relaxation activities. This makes it easier to organise the various activities during the stay and optimise time by eliminating travel time.
Calling on a single establishment for the entire organisation of your team-building seminar also reduces the likelihood of encountering any problems or unforeseen events during your stay.
