Important Steps to Planning a Corporate Event
Planning these events means making sure the venue is either totally self contained with a variety of food and beverage locations or in an area where a variety of restaurants are within a short distance. Meeting rooms that are large enough with the audio visual needs is very important. And of course the sleeping accommodations must be clean and comfortable.
Corporate events were originally introduced to create better relationship between employees, clients and companies, but now it is used to strengthen the "team" Another important thing to consider when planning these types of events, it is important to balance the "educational" content with giving the attendees a chance to relax and network with other team members though events that provide some type of entertainment. These may include cocktail social hours with strolling entertainment or after dinner entertainment. A strolling professional magician is always a hit. After dinner entertainment such as a comedian, comedy magician, DJ or dance band can always be just the ticket.

Planning a Corporate Event
Are you in the process of planning a corporate event? If so you have clicked on the right link. The following tips and advice should help present a clearer picture on what needs to be considered and organised.
To start with you should know exactly why the event is to be held. It may be a launch party for a particular product or business, or perhaps it is a way to show thanks and gratitude to employees. Either way this will have a big bearing on the nature of the organising. Once you are clear on why the event is being held you will then need to understand the type of event it will be.
Will it be formal or informal, is there going to be a dress code, how will potential attendees be informed about the do, are invitations necessary, and what number of people are expected to turn up. Only when you are clear on all of these dynamics should you move forward.
You will want to be certain that the theme and decorations suit the nature of the party or event. For example a celebration attended only by staff would be rather different than a booking at which a product is to be launched. If children are allowed to come along with their parents then the planning will require a different type of thinking.
The actual venue will have a major role in the success of the event. It should be large enough to accommodate all the guests as well be accessible for any individuals that may have mobility problems. Think about how easy it would be for the guests to reach the venue. You would not want to choose an out of the way location as this can be a big put off. It can be worthwhile phoning around a few different venues to compare prices. Also you need to find out whether or not the date you have in mind would be available for booking.
What facilities does the venue have? Maybe you would require equipment such as a PA system, stage, lights, projector and internet connectivity. Do not overlook the seating arrangements as this may incur an extra cost. If there is to be a focal point such as a stage then you will want to be certain that all the guests get a clear view.
Will food be served? This is a good idea if the event will be lengthy in nature. What type of catering would best suit your requirements? You could offer a formal sit down meal that has many courses or a simple finger buffet that allows guests to socialize and mingle more. If you are going to serve alcoholic drinks then you will need to ensure that everyone can get safely home at the end of the event.
How about the entertainment? This can be a great way to impress those people that turn up, just be certain that you cater to all tastes and not just one group of people. We at Shows in a Box, can help you seamlessly integrate your awards presentation, corporate meeting, or special event with amazing Broadway Style Entertainment, Cirque Style Entertainment, or Spectacular Magic Shows!

Tips on Hiring an Entertainer For Your Next Event
The time has come and you are in charge of planning an eventful party for your companies yearly meeting. You know that you will need to hire an entertainer for the party, and now you need to know where to start .
One of the tasks that you will have to tackle first will be to determine the tone of the event so you know what type of entertainer you are looking to hire. One of the largest factors that go with hiring a performer is finding one that will be the right fit for your organizations event. You definitely do not want to fall into the category of hiring someone that is either too over the top or hiring someone that is not engaging enough. We have all heard of the horror stories of attending boring, unimpressive events with other companies, and you are determined not to have this happen with your special event.
So there are a few things that you will have to find out before you can make the best informed decision on what type of entertainer or entertainment to hire. The first thing that you will need to do is to search for the entertainer that specializes in the area of performances that you would like to have during the event. If you are hiring a comedian for your corporate entertainment, chances are you will want the entertainer to keep lewd remarks and profanity out of the act. This may offend some guests, this is the quickest path to an unsuccessful corporate event.
If you are hiring a singer or a live band, then depending on the theme of the event you will have to determine what will fit your audience and theme. If you are having an event about the launch of a new product that is supposed to relax and soothe, then perhaps a hard rock band may not be what you are looking for. Therefore, pinpointing your exact theme of the event will help to narrow down what type of entertainment you are looking to perform at your event. Once you have done this, the next step will be to look at your overall budget. This will help to decide just how much money you can allocate to give this performer.
When setting your budget for entertainment, you will need to remember that not all entertainers costs are the same and if you are attempting to hire entertainment with the lowest fee, then you will get what you pay for. If it is your objective to be cost effective and have a good performer, then you may want to opt with going with a performer that is new to the scene and is looking to get their name out. If this is the route you take, it would be extremely important to get references for that performer. Request a video, demo, or maybe even attend a live performance so that you will have first hand knowledge about this entertainer .
Once you have the performer that your are ready to interview further, the next step will be to discuss with them your entertainment needs. If you are looking for someone to engage the crowd, or to deliver a particular message during their performance, then this is something that must be made known up front and that is clear to the performer what your expectations are. There is nothing like hiring someone that gets up in front of your audience and they have no idea of what the theme of your event is, and they are following their own agenda. This could be an unsettling mistake and can make you as the event organizer look bad in front of your co workers.
