Conference Team Building Activities

Friday, June 18th, 2010

In todays economic environment it’s vital that your team stay on track and are fully charged and ready to maintain and to win new business. Meetings and conferences are a chance for creating a collective strength for your company, a way to focus and channel energies in the right direction. Conference team building activities can be hugely beneficial for motivating sales teams.

Team building games can be hosted as a quick ten minute conference energiser or a 3 hour team building event. You can focus on communication, creativity, time management, change management and a whole host of different objectives all through team activities.

We have many different ideas for team building, they span the spectrum of budgets and can be hosted in a room with no excess space to being hosted outside.

It’s best to talk to us, give us a call at Accolade Corporate Events and tell us about your meeting, your company and your objectives, this way we’ll be able to look at which conference team building activities are most suitable for your specific needs.

Ideas for Corporate Away Days in London

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

If  you are looking for ideas for corporate away days in London, then you’ll be very pleased to know that there are a whole host of different exciting team building events that can be hosted here.

Firstly you need to have a good idea if your team day out in London is going to be combined with a meeting or conference. This would mean that your team activity would normally last either a couple of hours or for the afternoon. There’s nothing like getting business done and then having a motivational team activity to finish the day on a high.

The good thing about London is that you have the choice of indoor team building activities or outdoor team events, so it’s a good idea to consider the time of year that you are going to be hosting this and plan accordingly. It is possible to combine the two with some activities happening inside and some outside, Team Apprentice and Spooked are two good examples of this.

We have got many ideas for corporate away days in London, so if you are looking for inspiration and advice then give our team at Accolade Corporate Events a call today and we can suggest some fantastic team away day activities for your company.

Ideas for Company Christmas Parties

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Many companies are focusing on their company Christmas parties as their main corporate event this year, so it’s vital that the event is a huge success. When you are planning a corporate entertainment evening you need to ensure that it sends out the right message to your team.

The first thing to verify is the budget, work out how much you have to spend and how many people are attending. The next thing you have to do is to tell the corporate event company what that budget is. There is a popular myth that it’s better not to disclose your budget but that gives enourmous headaches to party organisers and we’ll try to explain why. If you have 100 people attending a party and you want entertainment and a dinner and you won’t tell us the budget, we have to guess the following criteria; the standard of venue, which we may choose not a good enough standard or one that’s too expensive, you could look at the selection and decide that we have no idea what we are doing because of the choices we’ve had to make.

The Christmas party games vary hugely in cost. You may have a budget that denotes fun casino tables or you may have a budget that could give you a corporate gameshow and then a disco afterwards but we have no idea if you won’t tell us your budget.

When we at Accolade Corporate Events get given a budget by a client, we like to give you options, a selection below your budget and then a selection bang on budget, this is because we want you to choose the right company Christmas party entertainment for you, it’s not all about getting you to spend every last penny as we believe if you are happy with your choice this year, there’s every chance you will come back to us next year.

If you are looking for ideas for company Christmas parties, then give us a call today as we have a huge range of up to date exciting ideas for you.
