No matter the size of the event, planning and organizing a successful one can be a length process, with many tasks and parties involved. While undoubtedly every event or meeting planner aims to do their very best to make the company's occurrence successful, what exactly does it take, to get to that point? And most importantly, how to be as effective and efficient as possible? The dedicated InterContinental Meetings team at InterContinental Hanoi Landmark72 will take you step by step in developing and curating a successful event.
1. Uncover the "Why"
Though seemingly obvious, it is extremely important that you sit down with your managers and your team to clearly determine the key purpose and end goal of the event/meeting. This will act as the key guidance for all planning steps that follow, as well as the date, itinerary, budget, amount of guests, the setup and even the choice of venue.
2. Create your wishlist and determine your budget
Once the goal of the event/meeting has been finalized, its target audience and consequently the size of the event need to be determined. How will the event/meeting look like? Where do you imagine it being held? Who will be the speakers: internal parties or external invited guests as well? Will there be food, like a coffee break or a full corporate lunch? Any fun activities in the planning? All these details of the "event persona" will help the planner to have a much clearer impression of how the budget will look like, and how it can be managed.
3. Select a trusted venue vendor
With the now determined budget, the fun part shall begin, as you narrow down options of a suitable vendor that will be the venue to your future successful event. This will be the trusted partner that helps to bring your event to life, realizing all the setup, equipment, agenda and activities in planning. At InterContinental Hanoi Landmark72, our clients take great comfort in enabling our dedicated InterContinental Meetings team to take care of all the details seamlessly, while keeping in mind the specific preferences and customization of each event.
