Michelle Rees and Kate Bullard , directors , Eventprofslive , discuss the value of a network of eventsprofs

ventprofslive is a network for corporate event managers and one of its many strengths is the sharing of information within that network . Our private members WhatsApp chat , along with our password-protected members area of the website , means when it comes to venue finding , as a member of our network , you have some pretty good options available to find the best venue .

Using a reputable venue finder is very important and we highly recommend Make Events within the network but , when you do want to go it alone , you can leverage your network to find the perfect venue .

You can think of your network as being the best resource when it comes to venue finding and a strong network even more so . Fostering a culture of full transparency and trust within Eventprofslive means our members ask for unbridled advice on location , venue , in-house team , catering feedback and everything between . We share information not only on the contracting process , but on every single aspect involved in working with a particular venue . So , when you do rely on your network , you know the feedback you get is going to be from those who have worked with that venue before . A culture of trust

“ We share information not only on the contracting process but on every single aspect involved in working with a particular venue .”

within a network means you can ask everything you need to know , and you know you can compare that feedback from a couple of

different members to get a fair picture .

Not only can you leverage your network for feedback on a venue when you have sourced the venue you want to work with , but you can use your network at the start of your venue-finding process . Putting a message out along the lines of “ who knows a great property for around 100 delegates , close to Heathrow with great meeting space ?” is a question we ’ ve had many a time and one in which our members have answered with loads of different options .

Asking your network for venue-finding assistance , running a property by the network that you are trying to decide whether to contract or not to or , even just sharing feedback on a venue you may have just used , are just a few reasons why , when it comes to venue-finding , your network really can be your best asset .
