Organizing a residential seminar is no easy task. Location, facilities, services, various animations ... All these elements require meticulous attention that the event unfolds smoothly. Thus, finding the right place that proposes the right formula for the residential seminar is therefore of paramount importance, as it will depend on the feasibility of all activities. For this Bird Office is the right partner!
The residential seminar is on the rise with companies, and because of this it helps to motivate and develop team cohesion. It has the particularity of taking place at least 24 hours with a night in a setting apart. Participants are brought together in a venue that offers both accommodation, catering, meeting room and activities.
Everything starts with a welcome cocktail. This welcome breaks the ice and sets the tone for the event as soon as the participants arrive at the residential seminar.
The basic formulas generally include:
-Bedroom,
- The breakfast,
- Full meals
- Snacks (hot drinks, fruit juices, cakes)
- And of course, the rental of the convention room
The framework has considerable weight. It is he who will provoke or not the blow of heart. There are several unusual places, hotels, made to accommodate large or small residential seminars in France and throughout Europe. Often the framework and activities are linked. For example :
In a hotel by the sea with activities related to the marine world: water sports, thalasso spaces, etc.
In a castle: for the "historical heritage" side. In addition to the authenticity of the places, there are usually large spaces for outdoor activities.
In a villa: whether in the countryside, on the coast or in the mountains, beautiful properties have been refurbished to accommodate residential seminars. Each place has an exceptional character that distinguishes it from others: the cachet! This creates a kind of intimacy conducive to the smooth running of the seminar.
If the host does not offer a catering service directly, go for a caterer that will provide all meals for the participants.
To take full advantage of the places, to mark the minds and to aerate oneself, the activities, whether playful, cultural or sports, are necessary.
The logistical aspect must be taken seriously. It is essential to make a tour of the unavoidable during the preparation of the residential seminar:
- The list (and therefore the number) of the participants for the reservation of the rooms (double or single)
- Catering, taking into account possible dietary restrictions
- Route or transportation (to facilitate attendance)
- A large and comfortable meeting room
- The multimedia materials: computer or tablet, video projector, paperboard or whiteboard, sound system ...)
- The activities available in the hotel and included in the formula seminar residential
