Meeting Planner Careers

If you just got out of a meeting with the boss who just happens to want the company’s first cruise event planned, then you might be a little panicked. All that time making friends with the powers that be at the local hotels and conference halls cannot prepare you for this. Don’t worry!

Here are some simple steps to planning the perfect cruise event:

Start by trying to get a good handle on how many people will be attending.

Will any (or all) of the participants need you to schedule additional travel?

Are there special needs that any of these people have that need to be addressed? Examples include dietary needs, special access requirements, and even placement on the ship.

Determine a suitable meeting schedule and create a few backup schedules that may or may not happen depending upon conditions and attendees.

Try to think of unique events that can be used to help people unwind and relax while on the cruise. Some of these ideas can be translated into really unique meeting ideas.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. That’s what the old folks used to tell us as we were coming up. Like many of our grandparent’s old sayings, this one is right on the mark. Event planners need to consider the down time activities in order to make business meetings the most productive possible.

It doesn’t matter how many people gather for a seminar or conference, they are all going to need some time to de-stress. At the Claremont Resort and Spa attendees can take advantage of a number of physical activities and spa treatments to revitalize body and soul. Imagine how refreshed conference goers would be with a fitness break sandwiched in between sessions. A quick dip in the pool or a bit of yoga could give them a new perspective on the meetings.

The Claremont is located 12 miles from downtown San Francisco in the Berkeley Hills. This makes it far enough away to keep everyone’s mind on business, but not so far away that the thrills of San Francisco aren’t readily available.

Your clients don’t have to travel to downtown San Francisco to have a good meal or indulge in an adult beverage. The Four Diamond Jordan’s and the Paragon Bar and Café are located under the Claremont’s roof. The Claremont’s Real Deal Incentive package could be just what your next conference needs.
