Hire Intelligence releases new guide to event planning

Announcement posted by Re:signal 28 Aug 2018

Get your events on track with this definitive guide to event planning from Hire Intelligence
- Hire Intelligence has created a comprehensive guide to event planning, looking at everything from venues and transport to entertainment and equipment 
- The ‘sweet spot’ for booking your venue is 4-6 months in advance
- Rent lighting, audio and visual equipment to engage your audience and take your event to the next level
- Encourage guest participation during and after the event by creating a hashtag to accompany photos shared on Instagram 


With more than 400,000 business events held in Australia every year and with an average budget in excess of $67,000, businesses must do everything they can to generate the best possible return on the investment they make.

With that in mind, Hire Intelligence has compiled a definitive event planning guide that explores the many different elements businesses should take into account when planning a memorable and engaging event that runs seamlessly. Every aspect of the event is considered, from finding the right event space and booking the entertainment, to the fine details like staffing, cleaning and hiring equipment.

The guide shares detailed information that can be used as a blueprint for all corporate events, from conferences and exhibitions to workshops and seminars. It helps businesses think about the timeline they should work towards, the transport considerations and the importance of testing all the lighting, audio and visual equipment long before show time.

To make sure the event creates a lasting buzz, it also stresses the key role of high-quality photographs of the event. They can become a valuable marketing tool for promoting the organisation and should also be shared on social media alongside an event-specific hashtag to boost participation and engagement during and after the event.

At the bottom of the guide you’ll find a map of recommended local businesses. Filter by location and service to make planning your event as effortless as possible. There’s also a form to complete if you have your own event business that you’d like to be featured in this guide.
  
Neil Levin, General Manager of Hire Intelligence Australia says: “With so many factors to consider when planning an event, it can be a daunting and stressful process, with a lot weighing on the outcome. We’ve created this event planning guide to help you to ensure your event runs smoothly and your guests leave happy”.

Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner for a number of key clients or a big thank you for 800 of your best customers, the Hire Intelligence guide has the low-down on every detail to make sure your event goes with a hitch.
