The space that you will reserve is also of capital importance.

Enable your employees to easily access the location of the event
The study day is organized on a short duration, the location should not be too far from the workplace. If your premises are located in Paris, for example, give preference to nearby reception venues, located less than 2 hours away. Accessibility via public transportation is also a plus for the comfort of your employees.
If the participants cannot easily access the chosen venue, it will most likely have a negative impact on their overall experience of the event. It is therefore necessary to take this aspect into account when making your choice.
