We all know that not all corporate events are the same. And when it comes to organizing one, it’s best to note that different corporate meetings have different demands when it comes to venue, and matching the two is one of the keys to holding a successful event.

The Philippine International Convention Center offers a variety of meeting venues for different corporate events. And if you’re having trouble deciding on which function hall to book, here are some tips to know what kind of venue to book for your next meeting.

  1. Conferences/Seminars

Some people might think that conferences and seminars are just events where delegates mingle and do small talk. What a lot of people don’t realize is it’s a lot more than that – these events give delegates the chance to connect with different members of the company, listen to a selection of speakers, and learn from them. Holding your events in corporate meeting venues like Summit Halls E/F will make it easier for your delegates to participate. This room features a relaxing ambience complete with a built-in stage and fixed theatre seats making it the perfect venue for your conference.

  1. Shareholder Meetings

Meetings are the backbone of every company. And when the higher ups do their shareholder meetings, you know that they mean business. After all, the decisions that they make during these get togethers can decide the fate of the entire company. And that is where the venue comes in – it has been proven that a great venue can increase productivity, and motivate people to work better.

Function halls like the Josefa Llanes Escoda Hall (Summit Hall H) is perfect for your annual shareholder meetings. The 52 square meter space has high ceilings and pendant lights. It can seat 27 delegates in a theatre setup, and 12 if you’re doing a classroom setup.

  1. Year-End Functions

Year-end functions and holiday parties is a way for companies to give back to their employees. And this versatile event is often related to fun, parties, and night outs! Therefore, the function hall that you’re going to book should be versatile as well. And when it comes to venue versatility, nothing compares to the PICC’s Forum. Book one, or combine three different rooms and have a total of 4292 square meters of raw space. Design the room however you want it, and make it fit the theme of your year-end party!

Whatever event you’re having, you can be sure that the PICC has the function hall just for you. So go ahead and make your corporate event special by booking the best event venue in Manila.
