We’ve always done it this way and it’s worked. So why should this time be any different? It’s a classic proclamation used to silence any discussion about changing directions.

Companies across the world struggle to improve their Employer Branding activities. One of the great ways to create a favorable company image is hosting a charity event. The naysayers will tell you that you try to combine a noble purpose with not so noble branding goal. However, it’s possible.

Forget your Conventional Ballroom! Whether you are planning an event for 10 people or 1000 people, you should think of ways to trade in the traditional conference room setting for cool event venues for your next event. Hotels and conference centres will always sell you on the value of the services they offer and how they can transform any space into something magical – but don’t forget about those costs adding up: for example AV, pipe and drape and hotel labor are just a few.
