While everyone will have their own preference to how they find a location, here are three ways you can find a location for your event:
1. Ask Your Network
Colleagues, friends and family are all great sources for information on event locations to consider. They not only attend events, but they are dining out, going to the theatre and reading about all kinds of locations for events that you may not know of. A referral is a really great way to also get to know the venue management and event experience before you book. Don’t forget to ask your online network too! Put the word out on Twitter, Facebook and your LinkedIn Groups. Also stop by the Q&A sites like Quora and you will be sure to get some great recommendations.
Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Change doesn’t happen all at once.

Everyone wants a formula. No matter how much I try to get around it, everyone wants 3 steps to being awesome or 12 steps to becoming well centered. I’ve always been anti-steps because I like to leave room for all the things that happen BETWEEN it all – the creativity and personality. But alas – it has occurred to me that perhaps formulas aren’t bad in and of themselves. Perhaps it’s more about giving people a starting point. So today, I share with you my 3 steps to a social strategy. If your event company is looking to integrate social media into your events or business, here’s how to get started!
