Three steps to a successful business conference on the Peninsula

Published on 29th November 2014 in Blog, Corporate Travel and Events

If you want to really impress guests at your next business conference, take your event offsite and to a luxurious new destination. Treat your staff, customers and clients to a conference set among some of the best golf courses in Victoria at Moonah Links, where there are a range of different venues and facilities to suit every type of event. 

Once you've secured your location, it's time to plan out how to make your conference the best it can be. Follow these three steps to ensure you get maximum return from your event.

Planning is everything

Events fail all too often due to inadequate planning, and Business Victoria recommends setting aside plenty of time to complete all tasks in the planning process. These tasks include keeping an up-to-date budget, identifying the people who you want involved in your event, developing contingency plans if speakers or guests pull out at the last minute and identifying sponsorship opportunities. You should also plan the schedule of events to take place throughout your conference, complete with a checklist to help you keep track of what has and hasn't been completed.

Know what you want

Your conference should have a clear objective for your business, whether it's simply creating more industry links and relationships or selling a particular product or service. You may wish to make money from ticket sales or raise funds for charity instead. Whatever it is, define they key aim for your event and how you can measure its success. This can help you determine your return on investment after the event takes place.

Get technical

The best-planned business event can fall at the last hurdle if the projector fails to work on the day or the microphone of your key speaker isn't turned on. Choose one of Moonah Links' conference facilities for state of the art AV equipment and facilities that won't let you down.
