There are over 3 500 conference venues in South Africa with and without accommodation. There are over 2 500 conference venues in Gauteng alone.
Some are top-drawer, others are function venues dressed-up with a conference venue title.
Others spoil it for all the rest when their design has been tailored specifically to the meetings industry.
Ask any regular planner/user of conference/function venues and there is little doubt as to their unanimous agreement on one specific issue.ย To quote:ย โGive me an adequate venue with the right people in comparison to a state-of-the-art venue with questionable operating personnel every single timeโย ย
It is the venue operating personnel who know their product (venue) on the one hand and on the other hand are aware of how to handle a multitude of differing clients โ some highly experienced while others could be questioned as to their ability.ย The professional venue personnel also have the knowledge as to how to deal with the majority of situations and circumstances that may occur in the heady day-to-day, rough & tumble of a business group gathering.
Conpromark Consultants โ a specialist division of The MICE Academy โ designed a two day course which has proved successful over the years and includes with high participation just how to operate a successful conference venue.
Day one concentrates on how to promote, market and sell a conference venue. While day two lays bare the servicing of the many differing types of clients once the contract has been signed.
