Hybrid events take hold

At the Convention Center we understand that the new way of holding events changed as a result of the pandemic we are experiencing. However, this has made innovation and technology the new guests of honor at corporate parties and even in tourism for meetings, congresses and corporate conventions.

At the Costa Rica Convention Center we have worked very hard to offer the best hybrid experiences to our clients where, thanks to our security certifications, we can offer a variety of safe spaces and also offer all the equipment and technology to create virtual events that are combined with the presence of up to 75 people.

Due to social distancing, the work culture has undergone unavoidable and unexpected changes within a large number of companies. For this reason, it is very important to maintain and promote a work environment of closeness, trust and continue with the training and motivation tasks to increase productivity.

One of the great motivations is the famous New Year’s Eve party in companies. Undoubtedly this year the celebration will not be much like the previous ones, but we can take the positive from the advantages that technology gives us so that this party becomes a unique event that your collaborators will never forget.

We want to share ideas and tips to achieve an unforgettable corporate party this 2020:

An online concert: An online concert with one or more national artists can be the perfect plan for your company party. We have the space and technology to help you do it and thus bring your collaborators an incredible moment to their homes. The way of communicating it can be very creative such as a funny count or sending clues to make the event a surprise. They will only have to connect one day at a certain time to sing and dance from their homes. From here, we will be taking care of every detail.

Cooking class: Totally changing the way the famous corporate party was celebrated can lead to new talents being found, and cooking can be one of them. A nice way for your collaborators to share with their colleagues and family is through a delicious cooking class. A great idea is for our chef to challenge your collaborators to make a delicious recipe. Imagine being at home and when you open the door you are handed a basket full of delicious ingredients and invited to join an online class and eat delicious. We take care of the rest, offering the space and equipment to make it a unique moment.

It is about a magical day, for those who will get married and for the guests who celebrate the union. But the previous months can be a true nightmare if you don’t look after some details; at the beginning they can seem small until they become huge.

As a place dedicated to making events in Costa Rica, we have some suggestions that can help you at the moment of planning a wedding.

1. First the Guests List:

This will define all the other elements of the wedding: the size of the place, the type of ceremony, where it will be located, the even hall, etc. Because of that, the first thing to establish is the guests list and refine it well, making sure to take care of the priorities of attendees.

2. Check the Circumstantial Problems:

If you have tentative dates for the wedding day, it is important to check if there are other important events near the area that can interrupt the traffic or assistance of your guests. It is also crucial to check the climate to prepare for any problem that may occur.

3. Correctly Divide the Budget:

This will depend on your priorities, but the most important of all is to save at least 5{30dd3214b74d4cf0e57e5e890f1c17b34234794e50f8b5c977f8eb8df4eb7a78} of the total budget for emergencies on the day of the event. You never know what can happen!

4. One Step at a Time:

From when you start planning the event, until the day you are in the event hall: not overwhelming yourself for wanting to do everything is the main key. Taking it easy and organizing things is part of learning to enjoy this process.

5. Hire a Planner:

Not only to soothe the responsibilities of planning a wedding, hiring a wedding planner is also a good idea to get better prices taking advantage of their alliances with several providers. Also, they will be in the events center that day, making sure everything is perfect and that the bride and groom don’t have to worry about anything other than enjoying their big day.

6. Learn to Yield:

Not everything will be 100{30dd3214b74d4cf0e57e5e890f1c17b34234794e50f8b5c977f8eb8df4eb7a78} as you and your partner dream of, but learning to negotiate and reach middle ground is important to avoid disappointments that are not worth it.

When you plan a business event, it is necessary to dedicate special attention to some details, because these are events with very unique targets. It can be a corporative breakfast, a gala dinner to introduce a project, even a lecture or a conference.

Regardless of the type of event you want, here are some tips to make sure it will be perfect:

1. Establish Targets:

What do you want to accomplish with your event? Present a special project? Generate a place for networking? There are many positive outcomes for your company that can result in an event hall, but the first step is to always define a clear target: this will allow us to establish the main needs and know how to solve them from the beginning.

2. Make an Appropiate Team:

Inside every company, you can make an ideal team to help you plan an event: you will need organized and creative people, which will be able to share ideas and fulfill them while they solve last minute problems. You will need someone in charge of the logistic and communication, someone who hires and supervises the food, someone who decorates the event hall, and assistants to solve problems during the day of the event.

3. Do not Forget Before and After:

Communication is the main key: not everything about the activity you are planning is what happens in the events center. The strategy to announce the activity to the guests has to be carefully chosen; it can be digital or with a personal physical delivery. After the event the follow up is the same: it is important to be considered to send gratitude letters or a newsletter to strengthen the relationship with the guests.

Now you know, regardless of the event you are planning, you can contact us to guarantee it will be perfect. We are the best place to organize events in Costa Rica, with technology consulting, extra services, and very high quality gastronomy.

One of the most important elements of any event is food, and we know that at the Costa Rica Convention Center. That is why we strive for the food that we serve at our events to be of the highest quality.

If you are organizing an event, these are the 5 tips that we have learned and applied during our time of experience:

1. What type of food am I serving?

Not all the parties have to have a buffet; sometimes the best option is dinner served

directly to the table or, if the event is more casual, rounds of aperitives are the best option. We must take into consideration every detail of the event we are planning to make the best choice when it comes to food.

2. It is always better to be overprepared that underprepared.

We learned this from our mothers and grandmothers, and it is real: in case of any inconvenient, it is always better to calculate extra.

3. You can never be sufficiently prepared.

Eventualities are an everyday occurrence at the party hall, and that is why it is important to have the utensils and ingredients ready at hand. Another basic rule fits on this tip: if there are elements that can be brought to the venue already prepared (like sauces or baked goods), you should take advantage of that.

4. Have the right staff.

You should always have separate people in charge of distributing food and beverages, besides the kitchen helpers. A well-equipped and well-distributed staff does not need to be large if it is chosen correctly.

5. Distribute the meal times.

You should not have all the food served at once, especially early in the event. Knowing how to measure meal times and leaving some snacks for the end is something that your guests will thank you for.
