So it’s your turn to plan the meeting. Whether it’s a big conference or a small gathering, there’s one question that should rise to the top of your list. Surprisingly, it’s not “Where?” It’s “Who?”

WHO’S COMING TO YOUR MEETING?

When you pick up the phone and start calling venues, being able to ballpark your attendance is certainly important. You need to know your group can fit in the space. But there’s more to it, says Laura MacIsaac, CMP, director of sales for Monona Terrace. “As a facility, we can accommodate groups of three people to 3,000. But for us, the concept of ‘fit’ includes being able to meet everyone’s expectations at every turn. Meetings are meant to foster energy and connection. And that requires flawless execution.”

WHOM ARE YOU WORKING WITH?

Rightfully so, you and your attendees have high expectations for an exceptional meeting where the food is superb, the presentations shine, the staff sparkles and the ROI is evident. Anything less is, quite frankly, less. So how do you avoid the glitches?

  • Work with a dedicated event coordinator you can depend on to manage the details.
  • Find out about staffing, particularly in the areas of catering and top-notch audiovisual technology.
  • Allow the experts to share their expertise.

“We know what works well in our space and can offer suggestions that someone unfamiliar with the space, or with planning meetings, can really appreciate,” says MacIsaac. “And we staff for events in a way that allows us to anticipate needs so that your meeting flows seamlessly from beginning to end.”

From the word “welcome,” Monona Terrace surrounds you with impeccable service and an unmistakable energy. We invite you to experience it.
