Finding the best venue or space for your MICE event is vital to running a successful event. You need to take into consideration the type of event you wish to organise in order to research the best venues or spaces adapted to your type of event. The domain of MICE events is expanding every year, and you frequently need to filter from a great number of options when selecting the appropriate venue.
At Es.cultura Events, we specialise in the world of MICE events in all its virtues: congresses, conferences, meetings, trade fairs, team building activities, incentive events, workshops, and more. In this article we will discuss the different types of spaces available for your MICE events.
Team building activities
There is one advantage to team building activities when it comes to selecting a venue or space: most of them can be conducted either indoors or outdoors. Certainly, some activities specifically require to be held in either one or the other, but in general terms they can easily be adapted to very different environments.
When you carry out an indoor team building activity, your best option is to choose a hotel lounge or a country estate. Make sure to choose a spacious, light, and open space as you’ll need to avoid your attendees feeling locked in at any time.
Congress
Congresses are the go-to event for business gatherings and are increasing in popularity every year. Most congresses take place in an auditorium or a similarly large room and setting. Some of our favourite locations to organise a congress are hotels such as Barceló Renacimiento or congress centres such as FIBES in Seville.
Meetings and Workshops
Meetings and workshops are comparatively smaller events that attract a moderate number of attendees. Normally you’d organise your events in a hotel lounge or in a coworking space. Nowadays, given the fact that originality is key to running a successful event or campaign, we see all types of new and singular spaces opening up to meetings and workshops.
Corporate parties and thematic events
If you wish to organise a grand evening, a gala dinner, or a thematic event, your best option is to hire a charming and unique venue such as a palace, a manor, or a country estate. These types of venues are extraordinary in the literal sense of the term and always transmit a touch of “magic” to your event.
There are many different types of venues and spaces that cater to all types of MICE events. Open spaces and natural locations are also great picks for your events, even though they do present a few challenges (related to weather conditions, lighting and sound facilities, accessibility, etc.). Nonetheless, many companies specifically choose to conduct their MICE events outdoors in order to make them more original and alluring for their teams or for their clients. It is possible to make use of most types of settings to organise a MICE event.
