Ideally, you should secure your first-choice option at least one year in advance. If it’s a small conference for less than 100 people, you can start your search around 6 months prior to the event. Booking early will leave you with plenty of time to decide on other important conference elements and you will be able to secure the best venue option in your price range. You should avoid waiting until the last minute as you will have fewer options to choose from due to the fact that the majority of the best offers will be already fully booked.
Yes! However, what such package includes will mainly depend on the price. A basic conference package usually includes the rental fee, catering, and standard equipment like projectors, WiFi and AV equipment. More premium packages will offer you much more. However, always ensure what a conference package has in your first-choice venue. This will help you avoid any additional fees.
