Meetings happen year round, but what truly makes a great meeting? We have three tips to get you started for creating a meeting that will leave your guests feeling like they just experienced the best meeting of their lives.

1.Location. You want to find a location that is convenient for your guest to get to for their meeting. You will want to consider parking, ease of access to the building, and distance from the closest airport. Sodexo Conferencing meeting venues offer locations in close proximity to metro area’s, public transportation, and airports.

2. On-site activities. When choosing a location, you want to make sure there is enough technology, projector screens, tables and chairs, and white boards to help achieve the objectives of the meeting. But have you thought about team building activities? Kicking off the day with an ice breaker can be taken to the next level by convening in the lawn of the Sodexo Conferencing property or even inquiring about on-site team building activities such as ice skating, bowling, or ropes course adventures.

3. Food. Allowing your attendees to be filled with coffee and a warm meal will go the extra mile in terms of happiness for attendees. Many of our Sodexo Conferencing properties have coffee stations in the lobby of the conference centers. We are also known for our catering and therefore offer catered meals as well as stationary buffets that offer a variety of options for every dietary restriction. The dining areas in our locations allow your attendees a break from the meeting agenda to network and dialogue about the meaningful nuggets of wisdom they have gained during the sessions.

Best of luck with your meeting planner and let us know if you need help in discovering a new venue for your next event!

Today we are showing you some behind the scenes glimpses at an event at a Sodexo Conferencing Property. 

Recently the Millennium Centre hosted the TSAE Annual Trade show. Here are a few photos from the cool booths that were set up at the property. These booths looked engaging and really drew in the event attendees. 

Tis the season for holiday meetings and festive gatherings, but the question becomes how do you incorporate the Christmas spirit into your event. What makes a good holiday party?

1. Holiday themed team building: Incorporate some holiday themed trivia, cookie decorating team building activities, or event a white elephant gift exchange for coworkers. This will help with camaraderie and add an element of surprise to the holiday meeting.
2. Festive Foods: One similarity between all of the Sodexo Conferencing properties is that they all have great food! During this time of the year you can expect festive holiday cakes, turkey and cranberry themed entrees, as well as decorations that will leave attendees in the Christmas Spirit.
3. Indoor location: While breaking outside of the office walls is a good idea, meeting in the outdoors is less than ideal during the winter months. Choose a conference center that has indoor meeting rooms with a view of the outdoors.

Weekends are a busy time for meetings around our properties. Check out this set-up for 750 guests at the Black Canyon Conference Center in Arizona. 

The 51^st Annual Delaware Antiques Show by Winterthur’s Garden Museum and Library held at the Chase Center on the Riverfront this past weekend was a great success! The opening party was on Thursday with an exclusive first look at the antiques by a small group of people. Leading up to the highlight of the weekend on Friday morning with a presentation by Jessica Fellowes, the niece of “Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellows and Antiques Show’s honorary chairwoman. Winterthur organizers were very pleased to report attendance was up by at least 20 percent during the first two days of the show. Locals attended the show to see over 100 show participants from Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware and more!

Happy Halloween from the Sodexo Conferencing family!
