Top deciders –

Accessibility

Lodging accommodation

Budget

Accessibility

The venue needs to be near to the city highlights. For improving the attendance count, ensure that the venue is easily assessable by road, air, and other means of transport. If your guests include VIPs, it is better that the location of the conference hall is near to the airport and that sufficient valet parking and parking facilities are there for guests who want to drive to the venue. To improve the networking opportunities, choose a venue which is near to attractions of the city and restaurants

Lodging accommodation

It is always advised that you book a conference room in a hotel since they have specialized accommodation. However, if your conference venue lacks one, ensure that proper lodging accommodation is there within its proximity. If the lodging is not near to the venue, ensure that proper shuttle facility is there so that guest can relocate

Suitability

Before you book a conference venue, it is important to ensure that the venue actually promotes the image of your conference. If the conference is to be organized at a place which has a different philosophy than the conference them, it is not going to help your theme. Before signing any contract with any sponsor, ensure that they are not going to spoil your image. For example if you are going to talk about a green theme and if your sponsor sells meat, it's a bad mismatch

Budget

Don't be afraid to negotiate. If you are going to organize many events, and if you think the venue is good top go, you can ask it to lower price on the assurance that you are going to hire the hall.
