Let’s take a look at the 3 best times to organize your professional event :
Organize a corporate seminar in June

YOUR ECO-RESPONSIBLE EVENT IN NORMANDY
Which periods should be avoided when organizing a company seminar?
When organizing a company seminar, it is essential to keep in mind that certain dates should be avoided. Times such as school vacations or certain major events in the calendar should be taken into account beforehand, when organizing a seminar.
School vacations are unfavorable for the organization of a professional seminar
If you wish to have a maximum of participants during your company seminar, you should avoid organizing it during school vacations. Your employees will certainly not move their vacations to be present at your corporate event especially if they have children. It is also important to note that many venues will be unavailable or will increase their prices during the school vacations.
Avoid the big dates of the calendar
In order for your employees and guests to attend in large numbers, you should choose dates outside of the major events of the year. You should avoid holding your seminar during the holiday season or when a major sporting or cultural event is taking place. You should also take into account what may be happening in the area you have chosen to host your seminar. Public holidays and weekends are also times to be avoided when organizing a corporate event.
Is it possible to organize a corporate seminar at any time of the year?
Organizing a corporate seminar or other professional event can be done throughout the year as long as it coincides with your objectives. As long as you avoid as much as possible the periods seen above, your event will have all the chances to succeed with a good planning.
Thinking about the activities and entertainment you plan to do should help you narrow down the possible dates for your corporate retreat. Don’t forget other criteria such as the duration of the seminar, the budget, the location, the number of guests when organizing your event. Planning your corporate seminar in advance will allow you to anticipate potential unforeseen events.
