Even something as simple as getting outside the business centre at the hotel nearest Edinburgh’s airport will generally get your attendees more excited, but what are some great ideas for hosting corporate events around the city?
Starting in Edinburgh’s historic Old Town (to either wow your out of town guests or to just add a touch of class to normal proceedings), you’ll have your choice of bars, restaurants, hotels, and studios that are happy to hire out their private event spaces.
You’ll also find a selection of academic and municipal venues that have well appointed and spacious options, such as the Royal Society of Edinburgh. They will also have a great deal of experience hosting large scale events.
Theatres and assembly rooms are worth a look, especially if you’re looking to make one thing a central focus at your event (you can’t beat a stage for a panel discussion). Look into museums and art galleries as well, you’ll often find a great deal of choice in size, price and amenities.
Hotels venues offer a good deal of entertainment for your guests for multi-day events (nothing beats holding an event at a hotel with a good spa attached).
Choosing the right venue for a corporate event is crucial to the success of the event. Here are some tips to help you choose a place that meets your needs:
Consider the event type - The type of event you're hosting will dictate the type of venue you need. Match the venue to the theme and purpose of your event. For example, if your business conference will bring together serious-minded professionals, consider booking a venue with an elegant or corporate feel. For a team-building event, a relaxed cafe or a unique coworking space might be more suitable.
Choose a convenient location - Hire a venue that is conveniently located, with easy access to transportation and parking.
Check the venue's capacity - Make sure that the event space can accommodate your guest list and any activities you have planned.
Confirm the amenities - Before finalising your booking, make sure the venue you selected has the necessary amenities, such as audiovisual equipment, Wi-Fi, and catering services. If you have any special requests, talk to the venue manager to ensure they can accommodate your needs.
Evaluate the cost - Consider the cost of the venue, including hiring fees, catering, and any additional services. Ensure that the venue fits within your budget.
