When you are arranging a meeting, one of the first tasks is finding affordable meeting rooms which is within a set budget.
But affordable is a relative term, and it is often better to look for a meeting room that provides good value for money. After all, the cost of hiring a meeting room is only a small part of the overall expense. The real cost of arranging a meeting can sometimes include the wages for everyone who is attending, and their expenses for the day.
When you take these factors into consideration, the cost of hiring the meeting room tends to be one of the smallest components within the overall expenditure.
When making a cost-based judgement, it is important to remember that an affordable meeting room must also provide a professional facilities, good customer service and high-quality catering.
A cheap meeting room which doesn’t deliver these elements can have a damaging effect on productivity and as a result, wastes not only the cost of hiring the venue, but also the wages and expenses of those attending the meeting.
We’ve included some tips below to help you avoid some of the common mistakes associated with budget.
This might sound like an odd question. Surely, the answer is simple and an affordable meeting room is simply the cheapest meeting room.
This is a common misconception.
An affordable meeting room is one which provides everything that you need for a successful meeting, at a cost which represents good value for money.
We’ve created a meeting room checklist which helps you to evaluate the meeting facilities.
In it’s simplest form, the evaluation is about ensuring that your delegates are comfortable. If delegates are comfortable, they will be able to concentrate and participate in the meeting and that means that you are getting the most from them and from the meeting. If your delegates are uncomfortable, they will be distracted. And that means that their concentration will be diverted away from the meeting.
Where you meet is important.
The location of the meeting venue, and the facilities within the meeting room affect how your delegates feel which has an impact upon their concentration and participation.
