Finding the right corporate event venue for your business or government agency can be difficult. But have no fear! Whether you are looking to plan a fun, productive, or team building event, there are many types of different venues and ideas to choose from. First and foremost, prior to searching for any specific location, identify the goal of the event. You can then use this information to guide the rest of the planning process. Here are some popular ideas for your corporate event, grouped by event type:
Productive Work Events
For a productive work event, take your employees out of their usual routine. If you work in a government agency or a business office, you could change the dress code for this event. Simply getting employees out of their cubicles and letting them wear jeans to an event can boost morale.
You can also take this opportunity to find an interesting government center or corporate event venue to hold the event, such as a restaurant or banquet hall. Then, during break times, plan an interactive activity, like a ping pong tournament or happy hour. Planning and executing a corporate event does not have to be expensive or complicated. Just by taking employees out of their usual routine, changing the dress code, and providing tasty food, you can make a work-based event a success.
Fun Corporate Events
If you are planning an event to reward your employees, search for venues that are a little out of the box. Once you understand how many people will be attending, how they will be transported, and what kind of special accommodations are needed, certain venues and activities will become possible. Examples include the following:
● A local winery or brewery tour, followed by a group luncheon
● Getting a group rate for a professional baseball, football, soccer, or hockey game
● Company picnic with food and drinks from local vendors
Team Building Events
There are so many corporate event venues to choose from if your goal is team building. Whether your team is comprised of all new employees, or you want to remind current employees about the power of teamwork, you can get everyone together to solve a puzzle, reach a common goal, and have fun.
Escape rooms, for example, have become an increasingly popular team building activity that may work for your employees. You can split your employees into teams where they will have to work together, use logic, leadership, and patience to escape a locked room using clues and hidden objects. You can also send your team on a scavenger hunt around the city or a local park.
Whatever event you decide to plan, just remember the team you are planning it for. Try to make the event engaging, so your employees are looking forward to it, rather than writing it down in their planners as just another work event they need to attend.
