The success of your AGM relies on more than just the agenda—choosing the right venue plays a big role in ensuring everything runs smoothly.

One of the first things to consider when choosing a venue is ensuring it has the right amount of space for your meeting.

The space should not only accommodate the number of attendees but also allow for easy and effective communication and discussion between the leadership team and stakeholders.
The goal is to find that sweet spot for your organization where everyone is comfortable and can interact easily in a setting where education, networking, and strategy development can happen. You want to ensure comfort that encourages open dialogue and brainstorming if necessary.
