Choosing the right venue for your event can either be one of the easiest or one of the trickiest parts of planning and producing your conference. It’s safe to say that conference venue finding is among the most integral aspects of event planning – you can’t hold an event if you don’t have a venue!

To make the process less troublesome for you, Purple Patch include venue finding in our inclusive event management services. We usually stick to these 6 tips when comes to properly locating and vetting a conference venue.

Search in the right spots

Your search has to start somewhere, and that’s usually with a search engine. You’ll get plenty of results, but it’ll require sifting through them all to find the venue that suits your preferences. To narrow things down more, try searching on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for venues. Those that are active and have dates available will have verified accounts that they update regularly. Finally, you can try online venue search directories that allow you to filter your results. Purple Patch uses each of these methods along with calling upon our extensive network of event management professionals throughout London.

Stick to your budget

This should seem like an obvious tip, but you’d be surprised how often event planners ignore it! Narrowing venues to the ones that are in your price range will save you hassle – and money – late on.

Coordinate with your dates and theme

You’ll also want to take your conference dates into account when searching for venues. Or, if your dates aren’t yet set, you can choose them according to your preferred venue availability. Another thing to consider is your desired theme. Will your potential venue be suitable for the conference design you’re intending to use?

Check out the venue’s facilities

If you can, visit the venue to look at the facilities. See if there’s parking on-site and what kind of security systems they have in place. And make sure the place can accommodate entertainment, catering, and AV needs as well. In addition to in-person checks, don’t forget to read reviews of the venue online. They may have stellar facilities but a nasty reputation for treating staff poorly.

Consider your target audience

The size of the event is a crucial element to take into account as well. You won’t want a small venue that can’t hold your intended capacity. If you’re planning a big guest list, then look for a big venue.

Visit the venue

As we mentioned in our tip on venue facilities, visiting in person is worthwhile. Being on-site will help you visualise your event in that space, as well as pose questions to the venue staff. If you can’t manage a visit, then a phone call or video call is the next best thing.

I just wanted to send all of you a massive Thank You for all your hard work and collaboration in organizing our 2024 Partner Conference.

Initial feedback we are receiving from vendors and internal employees is that everyone felt the event was a huge success, and we couldn’t have done it without your dedication and effort.

It was a lot of hard work, as everyone on this email very well knows, but your tight coordination and meticulous attention to detail allowed us to deliver an experience to the vendors (and employees) which was not only memorable but exceeded our expectations.

Thank you once again for your support and for making this event a great success.
