BIG DEAL is honored to be the event planning partner for a team of EVENT PLANNERS! Our client, Slate360 is constantly bringing joy to their clients through thoughtful trade show event booth designs. They have BIG jobs and deserve time together to connect and take a break from planning. For the 3rd year, we have supported them with full-service event planning for their annual retreat. This year, they selected Savannah, GA as their destination. The team enjoyed a fun version of Slate360 Jeopardy, a Tiki Boat ride, a thoughtful 'future focus' activity, planning meetings, meals in historic buildings, a piano bar, privately rented cove by the hotel pool, a penthouse suite for team time, shopping along the cobblestone streets and more!

Planning Considerations from the Experts at BIG DEAL Company: Does the destination align with your meeting priorities? The first thing to consider is that the destination must work for the business purpose. What are your priorities for the meeting? What kind of team building do you envision? Will you want to do group activities or let people choose their own adventure? What time of year will work best? Answering these questions are the first step in selection your destination. Location, location, location... Once you've identified your business priorities, the next step is to narrow down your location options. What type of team do you have? What kind of company are you? What type of venue are you looking for? As you ponder your location options, also consider the type of venue that you're looking for. Are you ready to pull out all the stops for a luxurious celebration? Do you need a functional space where your team can work hard and then play hard? Budget and Attendance As you narrow down your wish list, it's likely that your location and venue selection will boil down to how many people it can accommodate and how it will fit into your budget. Also, consider peak visitation and plan accordingly - you may be able to receive discounts or more robust packages during the off season. Planes, Trains and Automobiles Even the most wonderful venue can become a nightmare when it comes to transportation. Consider distance from a major airport, transportation availability and cost for large groups, back up options if needed, and proximity to entertainment, dining, etc. You've Selected the Location. Now What? This is where the sky is the limit! Consider both group options and plenty of free time to explore. By giving your employees time to soak up the sun and fresh air, your meetings will be more relaxed and productive. We Do It So You Don't Have To Destination planning isn't for the faint of heart!
