4 Tips to Make Your Next Conference a Success with Event Furniture Hire

Hosting a conference is a splendid opportunity for knowledge dissemination, networking, and fostering connections. However, orchestrating a successful conference involves meticulous planning and attention to detail. At Luxe Hire, we have had the privilege of providing event furniture rentals for a multitude of conferences throughout various locations across Melbourne CBD and surrounding suburbs. We’re here to impart four invaluable tips that can elevate your next conference to new heights.

conference planning tips

Harmonise Your Venue with the Event’s Essence

Selecting the perfect venue is a pivotal step in ensuring the success of your conference. The ambiance, location, and amenities of the venue must seamlessly align with the event’s purpose and cater to your target audience. For instance, if your conference is tailored for a tech company, a modern venue equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment would be ideal. Conversely, a more intimate setting like a trendy warehouse or art gallery in Rosebery or Alexandria might be more suitable for a casual conference aimed at creative businesses.

Prioritise Attendee Comfort

Engaging your attendees requires their comfort and well-being. Ensure that your chosen conference venue offers comfortable seating, efficient temperature control, and suitable lighting. Additionally, take into consideration the event’s duration and ensure that the seating arrangements don’t leave your guests fidgeting in their chairs. At Luxe Hire, we offer a range of comfortable chair options for conferences and corporate events. Complementing this, providing amenities such as water refill stations, snacks, and regular breaks can greatly enhance the overall comfort of your attendees.

Facilitate Break-Out Areas for Discussion

Encourage smaller group discussions and workshops by integrating flexible “break-out” areas into your conference floor plan. These areas should feature seating options that promote collaboration, such as lounge packages, ottomans, bar tables, and bar stools. Our selection of cocktail furniture is perfectly suited to create dynamic and interactive conference break-out areas.

Style the Stage for Maximum Impact

The stage serves as the centrepiece of your conference, and its visual appeal can set the tone for the entire event. When styling the stage, consider how it can reflect your event’s theme and purpose. Incorporating statement armchairs, custom backdrops, and personalised signage not only enhances the visual appeal of your stage but also reinforces the branding and messaging of your event. Luxe Hire Events offers a range of furniture options, including Velvet Armchairs and Lounges, all of which can help set the stage for your conference in a visually captivating manner. For stage rentals, we recommend our partners over at Party Hire Group.
