Consider the following points when choosing a venue for entertainment, social gatherings, or business:
Conference rooms that are too small will be cramped and unpleasant, while a conference room that is too big will make it look like no one showed up. Choose a Queenstown conference space that will ensure your guests are comfortable as well as being cost-effective.
Activities during the conference allow for great networking and team bonding opportunities. Many Queenstown conference venues offer activities on-site. You could also organise yoga classes looking out over snow-capped mountains, a group visit to nearby attractions, or book a performer.
Consider public transport, airport access, and parking availability. Check whether the Queenstown venue can provide your desired catering requirements or investigate restaurant and dinner options in the area. Examine the natural light available and options for adjustable lighting if needed.
Theatre setup involves chairs only, usually divided by centre or side aisles to allow access for delegates. This style is most suited to mass business meetings or product launches.
Classroom style is best for lectures or training events where writing and computer use is required. It involves rows of tables with chairs behind, all facing forwards.
Guests are seated at round tables throughout the room. This arrangement is perfect for more social or entertainment-based functions like gala dinners or award events.
The boardroom setup involves a rectangular table with seats along both sides, allowing constant face-to-face interaction. It works well for more intimate meeting needs, interviews, or briefings.
Perfect for social and networking events with multiple interactions, cocktail-style involves small, high tables scattered around the space for food and drink placing.
U-shaped venues are an excellent style for workshops combining presentations with group discussions. It involves placing tables together with an opening at one end.
