If you’re one of the unfortunate ones, the planning my fall entirely on your plate.

Tools to assist your corporate event planning:
Corporate events are a way to get colleagues together to either learn about a new company product/feature or as a social event to thank the team for all their hard work. Whatever the reason it’s important that the event is designed with the attendees in mind. It’s not about you (sorry), rather it’s about the people that are attending and what they would find interesting and fun.
Having worked in destination management, I believe that it’s a good idea to get a 3rd party involved to assist with ideas and the actual planning. You may be surprised to know that a 3rd party planner does not necessarily mean an increase in the budget. Sometimes it’s the exact opposite. A Destination Management Company, for example, knows the local suppliers well and are much better positioned to negotiate on your behalf.
