Most people who work for a corporation have had to sit through a boring lackluster training event. I can remember being so bored and uninspired at one Florida conference that I was actually looking forward to getting home to do the laundry! Now that’s boring when dirty socks are more fascinating then the presentation I’m sitting through. You can always tell when a company skimps on corporate event planning. No one bothers with creativity or even logistics. You have to figure out how to get to the right place at the right time so you can at least nab that last donut on the coffee break table. Most of the afternoon is spent wondering how you’re going to find a good place to eat once you escape the tedium.
There’s just no way your staff learns much of anything when all they’re thinking about is getting back home. The real question becomes why put on a destination event if you aren’t going to get your money’s worth? Your staff can stay home and find ways to be bored without your company spending money on conference and hotel rooms. The best way to take care of this problem is to use a destination planning company that is experienced with Florida event management so both creativity and practicalities are handled with finesse. It’s a two-sided coin that needs to be flipped. Professional event planning includes conference planning, interesting and planned activities, teambuilding events and providing access to local entertainment.
I can promise you this…when a business meeting is planned correctly no one is thinking about their dirty socks!
