When you are going to select and book a conference venue, there are a few factors you have to keep in mind before zeroing in on the right one and finalising the deal. The top 5 things you should check on when deciding on business facilities in Edinburgh are:

One

Location – This is of prime importance. The location of the conference venue should be well connected and central. If it is a stand alone venue, then there should be comfortable hotels around. Check for connections to airports and train stations as also roads, for people who travel by cars. Parking should be available for the conference delegates.

Two

Facilities – You will need a place with a large enough room for all the delegates. However, you may also need one or more smaller rooms for other meetings. If required, check that these are available and book them at the same time. Audio-visual facilities, Wi-Fi internet, laser pointers are all details which should be looked into prior to confirming the booking. Make sure there are toilets around as well.

Three

Food – There should be catering for all the meals during the time the conference is going on. Apart from that, make sure there is a plentiful supply of water and beverages as also tea-coffee breaks. You should allocate sufficient time for the meals. The staff at the conference venue should be able to take care of these details.

Four

Size – The size of the conference room depends on the number of delegates you are hosting. It ought to be just right, not too small that delegates are always in each other’s face and not too big that they are ‘lost’ in the space. Also you may want to have a large table with everybody sitting around it or a stage and sitting arrangement or tables and chairs for groups of people. This depends on the kind of conference you are having.

Five

Budget – Money is an important consideration before selecting a venue. Don’t go over-budget, but don’t scrimp either. Find out what you have to pay for and what is included in the package in terms of business facilities Edinburgh offers. You want to have a successful conference, which people will remember, where ideas are generated and your company benefits.
