If you are in the process of planning a conference, no matter if it is for a charity event, sporting, business or other, choosing the right conference venue is most important factor. There are many factors that need to be considered to ensure the message you want to deliver to your audience comes across clearly. Brisbane is an ideal central location to hold a conference as location and capacity are also important factors to consider. Before choosing a venue you need to take a look at the objective of the conference, which are your targeted audience, and the amount of people you intend inviting. For instance a large venue would be required is you are hosting a corporate conference.

You also need to determine if the venue can cater for a large number of people as well as provide adequate comfortable seating. On the other hand a small business conference would require an entirely different type of venue which caters for small groups. It is also important to know which people are travelling, the distance they need to travel and how they will be travelling. For example you need to choose a Brisbane conference venue that is located centrally, to make it as easy as possible for people to reach. Also take into consideration how the attendees will be travelling to the venue, which will help you determine if you require parking facilities, flight links, rail and high ways that are close to the venue.

If your attendees are travelling from abroad and from across Australia, you need to choose a venue that offers accommodation, for attendees that need to stay over as well as offers a flexible check in and checkout time. You also need to compile an agenda that will determine the size of the venue, the layout and the type of equipment required such as audiovisual equipment and flipcharts etc. When selecting a conference venue make sure the venue staff is competent, and can carry out your specified instructions. A conference where the attendees include colleagues and important clients, or closing of a business deal, you need to make sure that you deliver a successful conference and choose a venue that will leave a lasting impression which in turn will reflect your business ethics.

The conference venue staffs plays a very important role in that they will facilitate the event as well as see to things such as room changes, requests from the attendees, photocopying, refreshments etc. if the staff are helpful and friendly, this will also create a more positive experience for the attendees and will ensure that your guests remember the day.
