An event management company's first action will be to establish exactly what type of event is right for your company, and to assess your specific wants and needs. For example, an exhibition or conference is very different for an event designed for networking, team building or speeches. Once they have spoken to you and got a clear picture of what is needed, they can start applying this to the type of venue that can accommodate this – lush hotels and conference suites might be perfect for larger events, but far too large or impersonal for the event you have planned.
