What are the most important expenses to include in a corporate event budget?

The venue is key for a successful event! Always do a site visit so you know what the vibe is and if it will work for your client. Don't always depend on the website pictures.

The venue and cost of catering is key in the planning of an event. The budget only allows so much, so you need to make sure you are aware of all expenses.

é muito importante olhar bem o contrato com o local e com o fornecedor de alimentos e bebidas antes de fechar. Uma dica que tenho é buscar, sempre que possível, buscar flexibilidade nos contratos. Por exemplo: a quantidade de confirmados pode aumentar ou diminuir mais perto da data de realiza??o do evento, e um contrato fechado de A&B pode representar desperdício de dinheiro e de alimentos. Eventos mudam muito e rapidamente e contratos engessados podem ser um risco.

For a successful corporate event we must start with a detailed briefing, with an estimate of the budget that the client intends to invest in their event. With this estimate, we move on to hiring the venue, catering, equipment and staff. An event is a partnership between the organizer and the client. Aligning expectations is essential if the project is to be a real success.

Venue is key to a successful event. Site visits will allow to assess if the venue has all you need or if you need to outsource other vendors.

Speakers and entertainers draw the attendees in. A speaker will most likely know their draw from past events. Take a look at the capacity of the venues they have performed or presented in to make sure you are spending the correct value for the draw you expect to have.

Ils sont le c?ur de nos évènements ! Et représentent l'image de votre entreprise et de celle du client. Prenez le temps de trouver la ou les bonnes personnes et n'hésitez pas à faire appel à des prestataires originaux qui apportent une plus value comme un facilitateur graphique.

Agreed! Entertainers can be a value-added, particularly if they can perform something that directly ties to the topic or theme of your event providing an experiential moment for attendees that reinforces that topic or theme.

Transporte e Hospedagem: Se o evento envolver participantes de fora da cidade, será necessário considerar despesas com transporte e hospedagem, incluindo voos, transporte terrestre e acomoda??es. Entretenimento e Palestrantes: Dependendo do tipo de evento, pode ser necessário reservar fundos para entretenimento, palestrantes ou artistas convidados.

Overall, marketing is essential in corporate events to drive attendance, engage participants, strengthen brand presence, facilitate networking, and ultimately achieve the event's goals and objectives.

Equipamento Audiovisual (AV): Isso inclui aluguel de projetores, telas, sistemas de som, microfones e quaisquer outras necessidades de tecnologia para apresenta??es, vídeos e discursos durante o evento. Material de Marketing e Sinaliza??o: Despesas com material de marketing, como banners, cartazes, folhetos e brindes promocionais, s?o importantes para promover o evento e criar uma experiência memorável para os participantes.

Marketing e promo??o tem parte essencial na atra??o e engajamento de participantes em eventos corporativos. Investir em estratégias diversificadas, como e-mail, mídia social e boca a boca, é fundamental para comunicar claramente o propósito e os benefícios do evento. Elementos visuais, como vídeos e podcasts, podem aumentar o engajamento. Uma abordagem equilibrada e eficaz garante o sucesso da estratégia de marketing e o alcance dos objetivos do evento.

Agreed! Depending on your venue, they may have an exclusive in-house A/V company that can provide some of your more basic equipment and needs. Check with them first as it could be a cost savings! Also, Make Sure To Read Your Contracts Throughly!! Make sure you understand the operational rules and regulations with in the building especially when it comes to ceiling heights, weight loads, union agreements, Fire Marshall approvals, and permits!

Tout à fait. Si cela fait la différence il faut absolument penser à tester et faire une répétition avant l'arrivée des clients et invités. Prévoir des solutions de secours également mais la clé est évidemment de travailler avec des prestataires de confiance.

In any event you will always need a strong FOH and BOH point person. This ensures the main event director can focus on more important issues as they arise!

I believe any type of staffing in place that makes operations event efficient is vital to the success of event. This is a key expense in sports events because a coordinator can’t be in three places at a time. Proper communication between these staff members and your event runs itself.

Yes, you have to have the right staff and other POCs to let you know what’s going on and able to follow up on other event related issues.

Staffing is critical for both quality and safety. For events serving alcohol, the liquor license holder is responsible for everyone in the room, from the staff serving drinks within legal limits, to the attendees getting home safely. Having more staff to monitor attendees, give safe rides home, and having food or activities that will keep people engaged and from overdrinking are all ways to support the license holder and success of the event. The license holder cannot also be the same person serving. Knowing risks and liabilities, and how to staff and design your event accordingly is imperative.

Logística e Coordena??o: Reserve fundos para despesas gerais de logística e coordena??o, como taxas de planejadores de eventos, custos administrativos e possíveis despesas imprevistas.

Ao planejar o or?amento para um evento corporativo, é importante ser realista e considerar todas as despesas possíveis, garantindo que haja fundos suficientes para cobrir todas as necessidades do evento e evitar surpresas desagradáveis durante o processo de planejamento e execu??o.

This is an important component of planning any event and is often overlooked. Creating a crisis management plan for your event is crucial for a successful event. Creating a internal communication plan and for all staff to know how to escalate a problem, is a key component to avoiding a chaotic situation. It is important to be prepared with a crisis management plan because as much as you can plan and pay attention to details, there are situations that happen that are out of your control as the event planner including medical emergencies, weather, and other unforeseen circumstances. While you can't control everything that happens, you can have safeguards in place to keep you, your staff, and attendees safe but run smoothly as possible.

Along the same lines of contingency planning, having a meeting to explain the meeting to stakeholders and staff before the event is key. Having planning documents accessible to those supporting the event is important as well (printed or virtual). This keeps the event goal, communication, and roles and responsibilities for everyone at the forefront during the event.

I always explain exactly how we present our event. In an event where waiting staff are trying to serve food, we always fit in around them so the event runs like clockwork, well as much as it can with improvisation.

Il y a des dépenses dont même le plus novice ne s’y tromperait pas, vous l’avez dit le lieu et la restauration en sont des exemples flagrants. Attention tout de même à bien évaluer ces postes qui paraissent évident et qui finalement cachent parfois des surprises: refaire une pelouse après votre passage, adapter la formule de restauration à tous (régime alimentaire, PSH). Les conférenciers et animateurs sont également un point essentiel et eux aussi cachent leur lit de surprises. En résumé attention aux postes qui paraissent simples et dont leur détails comptent énormément sur le résultat et satisfaction. Délaisser ces postes sous prétextes que vous avez sélectionné les meilleurs prestataires est l’assurance du problème le jour J.
