There are many factors to consider when organizing a conference. Finding the right conference room for your next event can be time-consuming. That’s why it’s important to carefully weigh the pros and cons of each venue before deciding where to hold your event.
Therefore, we have put together some tips that will help you when choosing a place to organize a conference in Skopje and North Macedonia.
Organizing a successful conference can be difficult, but our tips will help you organize the perfect conference!
The best conference rooms also have excellent acoustics and video equipment, with ideal conditions for presenting delegates.
Of course, at the top of the agenda is running a successful, exciting and interesting conference that allows participants to get the most out of the event. Below we discuss the most important features of a good conference venue.
If you have participants or delegates coming from abroad, the location is especially important. Choose a venue within a hotel from which attendees can easily access cafes, restaurants, bars and cultural attractions. This is especially useful if the conference lasts several days.
The conference network program of Hotel Arka is part of the hotel, that is located in the heart of the Old Skopje bazaar. Here, your participants will have all the benefits, from premium accommodation, to catering services within the hotel, as well as an abundance of cultural and historical activities in the Old Bazaar and the center of Skopje.
Attracting delegates is a great tactic when planning a conference. Although the delegates and content are key to the success of the event, an interesting location will also contribute to the appeal of the conference.
You can choose a venue that you feel fits your conference theme or has a unique positioning that aligns with your organization’s values. For example, locations next to cultural-historical monuments will give your conference a sense of substance and authority, and will be especially interesting for participants from abroad.
When considering the ideal conference venue, make sure you take a good look at the conference rooms before booking. Consider how our space will fit into the event you are organizing.
Pay attention to:
The conference rooms at Hotel Arka can be set up in several formats, including theater style, U or round shape, classroom and so on.
Conference refreshments are essential to ensure your attendees feel taken care of during the event. Regular coffee break intervals are especially important to maintain a high level of concentration. Make sure to:
Arka Hotel has a restaurant on the 7th floor, which is connected to Conference Room 1 and Conference Room 2 with two passenger elevators for participants, serving various domestic and international dishes according to your requirements.
The bar on the 7th and 8th floor is the perfect place for a light snack and a coffee break, where participants will be able to get to know each other better. For those looking for a smoking area, they can use the terraces and the Rooftop bar on the 7th floor.
Choose a place that offers high standards of customer service. You can get a good sense of the place’s level of customer service from the moment you request a quote.
Choose a site that has experience in organizing conferences and trainings.
At Arka Hotel, we have dedicated conference staff who will ensure that the entire event goes smoothly. Our managers will be available throughout the event for all your needs.
At any conference, technology is key. So make sure your event venue is technologically equipped. For example:
When you organize a conference at Hotel Arka, for each of your events there is a technical person who takes care of the entire equipment for the duration of the event, from connecting a projector to your laptop to sound equipment and simultaneous translation.
An important aspect of choosing a venue is affordability and value. Make sure the venue offers pricing flexibility, such as different menus or equipment packages.
Does the site offer hourly or daily rates? What is included in the price? Will you get discounted rates for participants staying during the event?
Once you know what’s included and exactly what you’re paying for, compare it to location, quality of space and level of service. If the venue is of a really high standard, then you can probably expect it to be above average from other venues around Skopje.
