For com­pan­ies, the organ­iz­a­tion of a sem­in­ar is a good oppor­tun­ity to meet out­side the usu­al pro­fes­sion­al frame­work. How­ever, the organ­iz­a­tion of a cor­por­ate sem­in­ar requires pre­par­a­tion before­hand to ensure that the event is a suc­cess. An event of this type can have a real pos­it­ive impact on your company.

Organ­ize a cor­por­ate sem­in­ar? Dis­cov­er with us the dif­fer­ent points to deal with to organ­ize this kind of event in an optim­al way.

DEFINE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CORPORATE SEMINAR

What are the object­ives of organ­iz­ing this cor­por­ate event? Rela­tion­al, inform­at­ive? You must ask your­self the fol­low­ing ques­tion: why organ­ize a cor­por­ate sem­in­ar ? Depend­ing on the pur­pose, the theme of your cor­por­ate sem­in­ar can take the fol­low­ing forms :

  • Train­ing sem­in­ar: these sem­inars are used to offer new skills to your employees.
  • Motiv­a­tion sem­in­ar: also known as an incent­ive sem­in­ar, this event is used to improve motiv­a­tion and strengthen team cohe­sion among your employ­ees through activ­it­ies. Like a team build­ing, but more work oriented!
  • Integ­ra­tion sem­in­ar: wel­come the new employ­ees of your com­pany. This type of event is used to integ­rate them into your teams.
  • Man­age­ment sem­in­ar: bring togeth­er the most import­ant people in the com­pany to exchange ideas and take stock of stra­tegic decisions.

The con­ven­tion cen­ter is the ideal place for a Nor­mandy sea­side sem­in­ar. The CID Deau­ville offers dif­fer­ent spaces for your pro­fes­sion­al sem­in­ar. Indeed, the con­ven­tion cen­ter of the Côte Fleur­ie, only 2 hours from Par­is, offers com­pan­ies and pro­fes­sion­als the pos­sib­il­ity to rent fully equipped sem­in­ar rooms with dif­fer­ent con­fig­ur­a­tions accord­ing to each need. For a res­id­en­tial sem­in­ar, Deau­ville, the most pop­u­lar town in France, also wel­comes you to take advant­age of busi­ness tour­ism on foot in a com­pletely idyll­ic setting.

Plan the budget for your corporate seminar

Once the object­ives are clearly defined, you can tackle the budget. Here are some cri­ter­ia to try to determ­ine the expenses to come dur­ing the organ­iz­a­tion of your cor­por­ate seminar:

  • Num­ber of par­ti­cipants : to know it quickly, it is import­ant to send invit­a­tions sev­er­al months before the event. This will also encour­age the par­ti­cip­a­tion of your employ­ees because they will be able to block the date more easily.
    Activ­it­ies and enter­tain­ment : are activ­it­ies or enter­tain­ment planned dur­ing your sem­in­ar? This point will also help you to organ­ize the plan­ning of the seminar.
    The dur­a­tion of the sem­in­ar : the dur­a­tion of the sem­in­ar has a huge influ­ence on the budget. Will it last sev­er­al days? How many nights in a hotel or oth­er accom­mod­a­tion? How many meals?
    Any com­pany can organ­ize a sem­in­ar. The object­ive here is to have an idea of the total budget that will be spent for your event. It is always advis­able and prudent to keep some budget for unfore­seen events.

The CID event team is at your side to make your sem­in­ar in Nor­mandy a success.

Choosing the right period for the organization of a corporate seminar

The choice of the date is determ­in­ing for the suc­cess of your pro­fes­sion­al sem­in­ar. This type of cor­por­ate event can be organ­ized through­out the year but cer­tain peri­ods should be avoided. Cer­tain dates in the cal­en­dar (pub­lic hol­i­days, major sport­ing or cul­tur­al events) or school vaca­tions can com­prom­ise the attend­ance of the vari­ous participants.

It is recom­men­ded to organ­ize your pro­fes­sion­al sem­in­ar in the fol­low­ing 3 periods:

  • Before or after the end of the year holidays
  • In June
  • At the begin­ning of September

You must plan the date of your sem­in­ar sev­er­al months in advance to have time to organ­ize a qual­ity event. Send­ing invit­a­tions as soon as pos­sible to your employ­ees and guests will also be a great help to estab­lish a budget accord­ing to the num­ber of par­ti­cipants and the anim­a­tion.

The choice of the place for your corporate seminar

The choice of the loc­a­tion is cru­cial to make a com­pany sem­in­ar pleas­ant for the par­ti­cipants but also for you. Some places are more suit­able than oth­ers for the organ­iz­a­tion of pro­fes­sion­al events.

Depend­ing on the activ­it­ies and anim­a­tions planned, some regions are more suit­able to host your sem­in­ar. Sea­side, moun­tain, etc., the choice is yours! The loc­a­tion must also be eas­ily access­ible for your employ­ees. It is also neces­sary to provide accom­mod­a­tion if the sem­in­ar lasts sev­er­al days, this is a factor in select­ing the loc­a­tion of your event.

You must also pay atten­tion to the capa­city of recep­tion for all your guests. Let’s take the example of a train­ing sem­in­ar, it is essen­tial to have enough places if there is group work. For the choice of the place of sem­in­ar, prefer spaces or the hir­ing of mod­u­lar rooms.
