Corporate meetings can be incredibly challenging to arrange, especially if you’re flying in representatives from out of town or aren’t sure what to expect during the event. However, by finding the perfect meeting space, you can enjoy a more seamless collaboration. Here’s what you should consider when looking for a space, and how it can improve your next conference.

3 Qualities of Great Meeting Venues

1. Flexibility

Unless you’re confident about how many guests to expect at your next business conference, find a meeting space that offers flexibility. Look for a venue that has a variety of different conference rooms available, and ask if areas are expandable to accommodate more guests. For instance, some places contain double doors that can be opened to create adjacent space, and other locations have tables that can be elongated to accommodate a larger meeting.

2. Connectivity

Regardless of where your meeting is scheduled to take place, pay attention to the venue’s level of connectivity. Look for a meeting location that provides wireless internet and a strong, secure network that you can use for videoconferencing and printing.

3. Proximity to Airports

When business representatives need to fly in quickly to attend your meeting, be courteous of their time, and host the gathering near the airport. Find a venue that’s a short driving distance from an airport so that your out of town colleague can make the most of their time.
