Corporate Events Management In The Benelux Countries

When it comes to corporate events, those holding their meetings in Belgium, the Netherlands or Luxemburg are spoilt for ideas. With centuries of history and culture, outstanding sports and leisure facilities and every possible type of music, dining and theatrical experience on offer, there's an endless list. From canal trips in Amsterdam, to hiking round Bruges, to laser-questing in Maastricht - anything's possible.

Corporate events management is an important part of modern business, but it can be a frustrating job for those not used to it. It's important you're familiar with the region you've booked your venue, and this is where the fun starts. Do you book the venue first, and then hope you can find corporate events in that area? Or do you book your corporate events, and then start looking for a hotel? Adding delegate numbers and dates to the equation makes lining up bookings even more unlikely - and then you've got the worry of knowing if the hotel or event company are up to scratch.

What would be nice would be booking your corporate events in a hotel with an event management team, who could take care of everything for you. We at Holiday Inn Meetings BE do just that. We have theatre, classroom and banquet-style rooms that will house anything from 8 to 800 plus delegates, at locations across the Benelux. These range from large, cosmopolitan cities to small towns bristling with historic architecture. We do everything possible to help your event run like clockwork, and can arrange events both internal and external to the venue.

What does corporate events management mean? It can range from classroom-based activities like workshop and training days, to team-building exercises in the great outdoors. It also covers hospitality events for visiting delegates and company reward schemes (spa pampering in recognition of a milestone achievement, for example). That's why you need someone like us at Holiday Inn Meetings BE for your corporate events. We cater for both domestic and corporate customers, and have a long and proven track record in the international tourism market, including event management.

When planning corporate events, it's a good idea to use one venue for all your meetings. That way, your staff and delegates are familiar with the area, and you can rebook favourite entertainers, lecturers and such like, thus building up a rapport. Effectively, the venue becomes an extension of your company premises.

Of course, each event will be different. Your needs for a small staff training exercise will be very different to the annual Christmas party. At Holiday Inn we have rooms for every occasion, from weddings to banqueting feasts, and they can be dressed to your exact specifications. We can arrange guest speakers, entertainers, live music and discos - with the reassurance that they've been thoroughly vetted by us. For workshops and staff tutorials we can lay on projectors, broadband access, white boards and all the stationery you require.

Of course, there's no reason why corporate events have to take place indoors. Team-building days are great fun. Ideas include paint-balling, golf, hill-walking and assault-course training. Alternatively, spa pampering, concerts and night clubs are great staff motivational tools. All this and more can be arranged by us at Holiday Inn Meetings BE.
