"Be A Part of The Legend"

When it comes to making the key decisions that will decide what the audience will see and notice during your event there are some things to keep in mind as you start the creative process. First knowing how many people you plan to set for at the location will determine how big your stage area is and how far away the last person in the audience is seated from the stage. Knowing these things and a few others are important when the design process begins. Having a realistic budget is also very important, there are many occasions over the years where our clients have wanted big and spectacular but they have a budget that doesn’t allow for this type of event. So deciding where the best place to put your companies money becomes a key decision.

For example you might have a large group and have always expected to have video screens so that the presenters can use powerpoint in their message to your audience. Powerpoint is a useful tool to communicate your thoughts in a visual way, however it is also very over used and sometimes going without screens and projectors can save you a lot of money. Instead renting some curtains or set pieces that create a theme or brand for your event will be money better spent.

This one key factor is the most important decision you will make when it comes to planning your event. Looking at hotel ballrooms or convention centers as a place to hold your event is a starting point. But simply walking into and empty ballroom space or reading about the square footage of a room on the internet can be a big mistake. If a ballroom is 10,000 square feet this could be a room that is 100 feet by 100 feet or it could be a room that is 10 feet by 1000 feet. We would assume that you do not want to have an event inside of a space that is only 10 feet wide by 1000 feet long. But if you simply rely on a hotels web site to determine if your event will work in this space that is a big mistake.
Before you sign any contract with a venue it is extremely important that you ask somebody in the event producing business to come along or look at the space for you to make sure that the production of your event is not compromised because the space doesn’t work and now to get out of your contract it will be a very expensive decision.
In many cases paying an event company a consulting fee to simply help you determine if the space will work is well worth the investment.
