Has your boss ever asked you to organise a suitable venue for a corporate meeting or conference? That’s exactly what mine did not so long ago and I was lost. The biggest event I’d ever organised previously was my youngest son’s 5th birthday party which involved around 25 youngsters and their parents.

The event that I was being asked to organise was for around 240 delegates from our overseas offices and agencies. They would be coming from about 12 countries, flying into Heathrow and the conference was to be held somewhere in central London. I immediately got on the phone and started calling various venues including large hotels and some of the well known locations like Wembley and the Barbican Centre. I spent half a day doing this to no avail. I couldn’t find anywhere suitable so I was getting a little hot and bothered at this point.

Then I came across the website for The Conference People. I gave them a call and spoke to one of their venue finding specialists who immediately reassured me that they could help. They spent a little time gathering details of our requirements and then they went ahead and carried out a search for suitable venues for our big company get together.

They came back to me in no time at all with several options to consider. What’s more, they were able to negotiate an unbelievable price which they told me was due to the amount of business that they have with the venue and the relationships they have with the managers. I was able to select a venue that was conveniently located in central London and the Conference People helped in planning the event, contacting the delegates and even arranging some suitable entertainment in the evenings.

So our first UK based company conference for delegates from all of our overseas offices was a great success. We received numerous complements in the feedback provided by attendees and much of this refered to the conference venue and the facilities which were available. The venue finding service provided by The Conference People (which is free) is exceptional. Their experience and the contacts that they have mean that they can not only find suitable venues but they can also negotiate significant savings.

If you need to organise a venue for a meeting or a conference then give The Conference People a shout. Their free venue finding service made our conference a great success saving me lots of headaches and helping me to keep my job!
