Industry Events at Sodexo Properties

Visioneering the Meeting Room
On February 15, 2017, Chase Center on the Riverfront will feature a breakout during the Education Institute. One of our featured breakouts at the upcoming Education Institute, ”Visioneering the Meeting Room of the Future” is sure to be an interesting and unique session led by Mark Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of IACC. Join Mark and learn how different meeting rooms support learning outcomes and help maximize meeting ROI. Attendees will also develop a better understanding of how technology can help build multi-way communication in the room and for virtual participants, and how to consider different venue types and non-traditional room layouts to help foster connections between and among delegates.
“Today, planners must think about creating meeting environments that are comfortable and functional. Gone are the days of boring theater seating using uncomfortable banquet chairs. Attendees expect a higher standard to help foster creativity and learning. Upgraded meeting furnishings such as CORT’s Meeting Chairs, PRO executive chair or Roma seating collection are good examples of the type of stylish modern seating that can be mixed together to set a room for maximum engagement.” –Kevin Dana, Director of Marketing and Product Development for CORT Tradeshow and Event Furnishings

Location is Everything
There are a couple of factors to consider when choosing a location for your event. You need to consider ease of transportation, cost, technology, and room capacities. Another factor to consider is the local community. Will there be activities and places for attendees to visit after the meeting is over?
For example, Chase on the Riverfront is located in downtown Wilmington along the Christiana River. There are always a plethora of activities in the area such as museums, beer gardens, and festivals. This summer there is a special "Shipyard Summer Concert Series" which runs for 8 weeks on Thursday nights. It is a great way for attendees to enjoy the local community after a productive day of meetings.
