Check out the event spotlight from this week at Chase Center on the Riverfront. The Conference Center was used for the Bisnow State of the Market event. The event consisted of panel discussions as well as networking opportunities for attendees.

Chase Center on the Riverfront just completed a week of hosting double header industry association events. Their week started off with the MPI Education Institute and then finished with the IACC Americas Chapter Copper Skillet Chef Cook-off Competition. Both events were a huge success due to the superior service of the staff and event teams involved. It is always a pleasure to welcome industry colleagues to this Sodexo Property with hospitality and attention to detail that sets the venue apart in the venue space.

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

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.
