With so much choice, how can you ensure you make the right decision? Like everything else, it’s much easier if you break down the process into simple steps.
Here are the key considerations when choosing the best venue for you.

Location plays a crucial role in attracting your audience. It should be easily accessible and offer adequate parking or public transport options.

Facilities and Amenities
The facilities and amenities of the venue can make or break your training event.
These include 100% reliable tech support, catering options, and comfortable accommodation.
Look for a venue which offers the very latest facilities including high-speed Wi-Fi, AV equipment, and modern lecture theatres.
Ensure there is a full catering service available offering a wide choice of menu including special dietary requirements, breakfast, lunch and the availability of banquet options if required.
Knowing your attendees are well looked after in these departments leaves you free to concentrate on your organisation’s objectives for training.
