Facilities

There are three main considerations in coming to terms with a meeting venue. In descending scale, but increasing importance, they are:

  • the way the facility is set up
  • the way the room is set up
  • the way the AV is set up


 

ASPECTS TO MAKE A SITE APPROPRIATE:


Location


  • Is the site conveniently accessible to the majority of those who will be attending the presentation?.


Accomodations


  • Will participants be staying onsite (or nearby) for several days, or returning to their jobs or homes immediately after the session?


Scale


  • How do the size of the facility and the size of the group compare?
  • A small group at a large facility may receive relatively low priority compared to larger, more demanding clients.
  • A large group may overwhelm a smaller facility’s physical and staff resources.


Security


  • Will confidential material be discussed?
  • If so, it may be important to know who’s in the next room. If high-level participants are involved, the openness or seclusion of the site may be an important consideration.


Meeting Place


  • Is the space provided conducive to the style of presentation envisioned?
  • How much latitude do you have in customizing the meeting room to your specific needs?


Audiovisual Capabilities


  • Is the site wired for large-screen projection?
  • Live satellite feeds?
  • Secure connectivity to the organization’s LAN or WAN?
  • Can it provide adequate, up-to-date projection equipment from its own resources, or will it need to be rented from a provider in the area (or supplied by the presenter)?


Staff Capabilities


  • What kinds of specialists are available onsite and what kinds of expertise will need to be provided entirely by the group?
  • Will there be an AV technician available to handle set-up and test the projection system, brief the presenter on the specific characteristics of the equipment provided, and solve problems that may occur in the course of the program?
