Things to Consider When Booking a Meeting Destination
in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
Your destination sets the tone of your meeting. It's as simple as that.
As a meeting planner, your task list probably looks like a spreadsheet on steroids. There are tasks within tasks, color codes for the most minute details and timelines that may seem impossible. However, most of those minute details can't be checked off the list until one thing happens – you select your meeting destination. And, once the destination has been selected, it's much easier for other details to fall into place. To help you through the first step, we’ve compiled a list of things to consider when choosing the location for your destination meeting.
2. Does your meeting fit the destination?
Maybe you’ve fallen in love with a destination only to realize the area doesn’t fit your needs. If your group prefers offsite group meals rather than convention catering, can the CVB help you find venues that will accommodate your group? It’s important to think outside the meeting planning box, too. In addition to traditional meeting spaces, consider nontraditional venues like amphitheaters. For example, The Amphitheater at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama, features a stage and seating for up to 10,000. Is your meeting a board retreat for 20 attendees? Smaller Gulf Shores and Orange Beach hotels offer ideal meeting spaces for work retreats.
