12 Oct 09 Unique Event and Meeting Venues

When was the last time you held an event somewhere other than a hotel or convention center? There are other options, some of which are quite affordable. Any place that has enough seating for your group and can meet their needs is a potential event site.

Theaters aren’t just for plays and movies these days. Most of them are more than happy to be considered for an event. In fact, many movie theaters include an ad promoting the idea along with the upcoming features. Theatres are quiet, private, and they might even open the concession stand for your event. Private theater owners are as open to creating new revenue as chain theaters. Explore both possibilities and compare costs and available services.

Museums and public art galleries are feeling the economic pinch of the recession. Most of them have spaces that are ideal for business meetings. Using a local site gives your client the benefit of getting out of the office without expending a great deal of cash. Sometimes a fresh site will inspire fresh ideas in your team.

Don’t limit yourself to the same list of meeting places no matter how grand and exciting they might be. The more choices you offer clients, the more clients you may have.
