Planning a meeting or conference in Adelaide is a big responsibility. Done well, it’s held in a meeting room with exceptional facilities like those on offer at The Playford, where Adelaide residents or visitors will enjoy the experience and achieve all set objectives. Smaller-sized gatherings (10 to 50 people) have different considerations than larger ones; here are some key things to remember when booking a small meeting or conference room at The Playford, Adelaide:
1. Clearly Define the Goals
Having a clear focus is the first step to success. Whether it’s to teach managers how to oversee their staff better, onboard new sales reps, or do general team-building, having clear-cut goals will help keep smaller groups focused and on point.
2. Create an Optimal Attendees List
Smaller meetings and workshops require an ideal number of attendees for an optimal experience. For example, teaching a specific or specialised skill is better suited to 10 to 15 attendees; more general educational or motivational meetings can benefit from having 50 attendees to promote group participation.
3. Choose the Ideal Location
Practical details and logistics should be carefully considered when selecting a conference room in Adelaide or the desired meeting location. For example, if your meeting will require unique technology, equipment, or catering services for lunch, verify that the venue can accommodate it.
4. Develop a Structured Yet Flexible Agenda
Smaller meetings will always have a more intimate feel, so create a meeting agenda that allows for a more personal experience. The agenda should be specific yet general enough to allow for unforeseen discussions. List your main points to cover, technical enhancements (PowerPoint, charts, etc.), and tangential discussion topics in a general time frame and schedule.
5. Wrap It Up with Key Points
Finish up the meeting by revisiting the original workshop goals and verifying that you have achieved them. This is much easier to do with a smaller group and can be an informal discussion or written questionnaire filled out by all attendees.
Smaller workshops and conferences have different needs and considerations than large ones.
