Anybody running a company knows that a well-planned conference can greatly improve performance of
that business. The main reason for this is that it takes your employees away from the daily workplace and
offers them somewhere fresh for a short time. However, unless the conference is well thought out it will not
have the best results and you will have wasted a great deal of money. Here are some tips for you.
The first step is to find the right place. Can your employees easily reach the conference center? Is it near
a railway station? Is it close to a good, fast road? Has it plenty of suitable parking space? If you are going to
choose a hotel, then perhaps the hotel has cheaper rates at weekends or, if it is in a popular tourist area,
midweek rates may be cheaper. Furthermore, you need to think whether there is a bathroom. After a day's
meeting, maybe your employees would like to have a hot water bath. Or maybe there are other needs to satisfy
depending on your employees' taste.
Another important requirement is food and drink. Breakfast is a time when people can relax before work
begins,but you may not want a long break for lunch in the middle of the day. Buffet (自助餐) lunches are very
popular for this reason. Then there is dinner, which most employees consider a reward for a day's hard work!
Whatever your needs are, it is essential (基本的) to think ahead if you want a successful conference.
