Finding the perfect event venue

Finding the right venue for the perfect team event

Every event needs the right setting, with requirements that vary depending on the activities. A soapbox derby or a Christmas party with Eisstock curling is hard to pull off indoors. So when you’re looking for a venue, match the number of participants, local conditions, and the lighting and technical equipment to your activities – and make sure everyone on the team can be catered for.

Good planning is everything

Start your search for the perfect venue with the basics. What kind of activities are you planning? Will the event take place mainly outdoors or indoors? If it’s an outdoor event in winter, ask yourself whether you’ll also need an indoor space to warm up and have a meal. The size of the planned team event and the number of people taking part matter too. Travel arrangements are another important consideration when planning a team event. If your team travels in from different places, choose a venue in a central spot that’s also easy to reach by public transport.

Activities at the heart of your event planning

Every team event builds excitement as it takes participants through a varied day. That’s why you should plan the activities before you choose the venue. Outdoor activities such as archery, cross golf or a raft-building team event need plenty of space as well as the right equipment and materials. After all, what good is the finest raft if there’s no river to test it on the moment it’s built? For the Kurzfilm-Gala (short film gala), theatre events or other stage acts, don’t forget technical essentials such as lighting, sound, visual equipment and a stage. The perfect venue should either have that equipment already – or you can book these extra services directly through teamio.

From venue to equipment to catering, all from one team

Every team event includes something to eat after an exciting, strenuous group activity. A venue therefore also needs to be able to cater for all the participants. Catering doesn’t stop at choosing a buffet or a multi-course meal; it should also provide cutlery, crockery, glasses, seating and tables that suit the activities and the chosen venue.
