Questions To Answer Before You Book Your Meeting Room
1. Are there hidden costs that I should pay attention to?
Let’s talk numbers. Before signing any contracts, you need to figure out the cost of the meeting room, — and, more importantly, the hidden event planning costs. In addition to the actual conference room rental rate, look out for added costs like:
- Setup and strike fees
- Access to power
- Taxes
- Service fees
- Tips
2. Is your meeting room going to fit your size requirements?
It’s vital that you communicate your size needs and make sure that your meeting room can accommodate you. You don’t want to have your team crammed into a space that is too small. Alternatively, you don’t want to have a tiny group in a room that is too large.
3. Does the meeting room convey the professionalism you seek?
Your choice of a conference room is a reflection of your brand. Be sure to pay attention to the ambiance and professionalism of your meeting room. You’ll want to take note of things like:
- Inventory of office supplies, paper products, etc.
- Good lighting both inside and outside the building.
- Accessible and safe parking situation.
- Modern amenities – common area usage, business services.
- Health and safety measures related to the pandemic and beyond.
4. Does the meeting room make your life easier?
(Answer, it should!) Assess whether your meeting room offers flexibility in its configuration. Check out things that offer needed conveniences, like easy-to-navigate-to location, onsite management, and online scheduling. These things can save you time, money and reduce frustrations.
Do you know what amenities to consider? Not all amenities are needed, but it’s a good idea to define a list of those you need and make sure that your meeting room has them for you and your group. Some amenities to consider include:
- Grounds and building options like 24/7 access to the building, bike racks, etc.
- Kitchen items like catering, coffee/tea, filtered water.
- Technology considerations like filming abilities, printer/scanner/copier availability, projector, TV/monitors, video conferencing abilities.
