Choosing a Convention Center for your Christmas

Choosing a Convention Center for your Christmas
2
Convention centers make great venues for
celebrations of all sizes. While convention
centers have historically been viewed as being
rather bureaucratic, they are becoming more
flexible and responsive to the needs of their
customers.
3
Start your research well in advance,
convention centers typically start booking their
meetings in advance.
4
Consider the convention centers location very
carefully, including its proximity to a major
airport, to hotels and to restaurants. 
5

• Visit the potential site, so you can check if it
  has good directional signage, see if it has a
  practical layout, evaluate its food service
  offerings, check the cell phone coverage (it can
  be spotty in convention centers), and evaluate
  any other pertinent details. 

6

• Ensure that the room size you are considering
  will be large enough

7

• Research hotel options near the convention
  center, including pricing, amenities, shuttle
  access, etc. 

8

• If you are comparing costs between a convention
  center and a hotel, it is important to consider
  that hotels make their money on sleeping rooms,
  so they are often able to give away meeting space.

9

• Ask for a list of preferred and exclusive vendors
  in advance of negotiating your contract. This
  could save you a substantial amount of money in
  the long-run.

10

• Don't hesitate to negotiate on pricing and
  services. Event managers at convention centers,
  along with other service providers, are often
  more than willing to work with you.
