subject: Conference Venues Of Today And Past [print this page] The world is progressing rapidly, with regards to business, communication and technology. People want their organizations to progress rapidly and to reap success; and this requires the organizations to stay in touch with the activities of each other. With this viewpoint, people choose conference venues as a medium of interaction with people. This article will focus on the conference venues of today in contrast with the past.
The conference venues of the past used to be located in certain areas of the country only. For example, hotels were chosen as the best and the only conference venues. The conference venues of today, on the other hand, also provide people with entertainment. This is because the conference venues chosen today are not only confined to hotels but includes town halls, activity centres, historic towers, golf clubs, green venues, ships and boats. The British Museum of London has also been used as a conference venue.
The basic facilities were the main deprivation of the previous conference venues. One was only provided with a central table and chairs to present your data/speech. However, the conference venues of today make sure that they provide everything that is needed to present the data/speech effectively with the help of modern audio-visual facilities.
Conference venues simply had stages, and ramps where speeches were given pertaining to the slogan of the company, the foundation, promotions, and if they were about launches, then ramps were rarely established as well. These were special things organised in conference venues in the past. Conference venues were mostly hotels, and conference centres. There was not a wide range of choices.
The accommodation of the employees used to be a major problem for the conference venues of the past. They used to be jam packed when conferences of large scales were held. However, the conference venues of today are hired according to the number of the people that are attending the conference.
The overall style and the manner of conducting conferences have changed altogether - Previously, people used to have refreshments once the conference got over but now, people enjoy buffet dinners along with a few singers who perform live to enlighten the moods of the employees and the general audience.
In the past, conference venues were attended only by specific strata of people and companies. As a result, conference venues remained deserted. On the contrary, most of the business companies now focus on hiring conference venues. This has been done to inculcate the spirit of participation in the employees, so that they take interest in the seminars and conferences arranged by their companies, where they are required to put forward their points of view. This has made the employees to regain interest and to put extra hard work in their jobs.
To conclude, it must be mentioned that conference venues previously had many loopholes, for example lack of adequate facilities and resources; failure to accommodate delegates coming from distant places; and the lack of interest on the part of the employees. However, now, conference venues provide all the latest facilities and the employees look forward to attend any event held by their company in a conference venue.
