Simple Steps To Take the Stress Out of Organising a Business Conference

Organising a business conference can be stressful, especially if you’re short on ideas or time.  With budgets to balance and a company to run, scheduling time in your diary to arrange such an important event can almost seem impossible. But with the right help, it’s a breeze.

The secret begins with choosing the right business conference center that has dedicated business conference facilities to achieve your goals. The biggest asset any business conference centre has is a professional event planning and management team. One of South East Queensland’s most popular business conference centres, Woodlands of Marburg, understands this. Woodlands’ dedicated team of professionals can help take the stress out of organising you next corporate event.

There are several important steps to consider when organising a corporate event. First on the list is scheduling an appointment with the event planning and management team. This is your opportunity to discuss the type and style of event you’re planning, the number of guests, the space you’ll need to accommodate them, the facilities and amenities required, and the budget you’re hoping to work within.

The next step is to arrange a tour of the business conference facilities.  Consider if the location is appropriate and easily accessible. Woodlands is located next to a major highway providing excellent transport links to and from Brisbane, Ipswich and Toowoomba. Next, inspect the meeting rooms and spaces available. Will they comfortably accommodate all of your guests and do they reflect an appropriate atmosphere in line with the style and objective of your event? Woodlands of Marburg offers a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces. Its business conference facilities also feature the latest in technology including data projectors, TV/DVD/VCR, whiteboards, flipcharts, PA systems, lecterns and internet access. 

Catering is another consideration. Well-fed delegates stay focused on the task at hand, so talk to the planning team about refreshment options available. One-day business events typically consist of light refreshments and a lunch, while weekend getaways may involve a combination of sit-down meals or buffets as well as appetisers and snacks.

During the tour, be sure to ask about the onsite accommodation and recreation options. Woodlands of Marburg offers an all-inclusive experience with a restaurant, boutique accommodation, pool, tennis court and winery. 

The final step is to finalise the time and date of your event and lock it in with the event management team. Remember to advise the team of any changes to numbers or requirements before the event commences. With the planning done and dusted, sit back and relax with confidence as the professional team works to ensure your event runs without a hitch from start to finish.
