Organising a seminar in Nantes requires some preparation. But if you plan ahead and have plenty of options when it comes to venues and activities, you can't go wrong!
The stages involved in organising your seminar in Nantes
Organising a seminar, in Nantes or anywhere else, is a great way to unite your guests around an important event. Whether it's a product launch, a success to celebrate, the induction of new staff, a change of business model... there's no better excuse. But if you want your event to be a complete success, give each stage the attention it deserves:
- Define your objectives - the reason for your seminar and the people for whom it is intended.
- Select your format - meeting, immersive activity, meal, conference... Make sure you take into account the context in which your organisation is evolving at the time of the seminar. This has a huge influence on the quality felt by participants. For example, if you have taken on a lot of new staff, remember to communicate clearly about your company's event habits so that they are as familiar with them as possible at the time of the event. This will ensure that they are fully integrated.
- Set your budget - taking everything into account.
- Choose the venue and date. The more flexibility you have, the more you'll be able to negotiate prices (some dates and slots are obviously more in demand than others, so there are wide variations in prices)
- Draw up a schedule - including activities, times, timetable, details of meals, etc. It's important to remember that all the preparation upstream of the event is very time-consuming. If you can enlist the help of professionals, you'll save a lot of time and ensure the quality of your event. Event management is a profession, and the support of an agency is a real plus (which can also help you save money, by guiding you as precisely as possible towards the right cost-saving avenues). At Whereez, we're happy to support all our customers.
- Inform your employees - invite them to take part in your event and let them know the final schedule.
