Organizing a corporate retreat can be a rewarding experience, but there's also a lot to prepare to ensure it goes well. Depending on the activities you have planned, you may even need to find a specific type of facility. When choosing your event space, consider the following factors to guarantee everyone will have a good time.

How to Choose the Ideal Event Space for Your Corporate Retreat

1. Location

Many of your guests will drive to the retreat in their cars, while others may rent a shuttle bus or other form of shared transportation. Make sure the facility you choose provides adequate parking space so everyone will have a spot.

Additionally, consider how close the site is to a populated area. While you may want to offer a relaxing environment that's away from the city, you also want to ensure you're close to a populated area in case you need medical services, groceries, or other amenities.

2. Hosting Experience

If the facility has experience hosting corporate events, you can better rely on their help. You may need assistance in organizing team-building exercises and other activities, so you'll want more than just the event space. A facility that has a history of hosting corporate events will likely have the resources and expertise that'll help you plan out a better experience for your guests.

3. Accommodations

It's equally important to ask about lodging and other amenities offered at the facility. Some guests may require special accommodations, such as handicapped-accessible restrooms, so be sure to inquire about these options as well. Also, tour the facility in advance to evaluate the dining areas, outdoor recreational spaces, and other features you require for your retreat.

4. Equipment

After finding the ideal facility, you'll have to plan activities, lectures, and presentations. It'll be more cost-effective if the facility you choose has audio/visual equipment you can use, or other supplies that'll help you save on rentals. An event space that offers a range of equipment can provide guaranteed access to the tools and supplies you'll need.
