Planning a corporate event usually involves the search and choice of location, caterer, entertainers, facilities, and so on. An easier and quicker way to arrange a corporate event is hiring professional corporate event planners. They already have the knowledge and experience in the field of entertainment and can offer their clients some original ideas whether it comes to venue, food, or any type of indoor or outdoor entertainment.
With growing tourism and a speedily development in services since independence, Lithuania can now offer a diverse choice of services in event planning not only for Lithuanian companies but also for corporate groups from abroad.
As the geographical centre of Europe, Lithuania makes for a great location for international business meetings and conferences. Conference and meeting venues are abundant in number as well as type: large conference centres in the capital city or conference rooms in countryside homesteads, hotels or business centres – the choice depends on the participants’ needs. As a reaction to those needs, a new conference centre, which can accommodate up to 3000 attendees at a time, has been opened in Vilnius recently.
Entertainment is often an inseparable part of corporate events. For indoor entertainment in Lithuania, there are music bands and ensembles who earn their bread by performing Lithuanian folk and contemporary music, international hits, and diverse music styles (no wonder why Lithuania is often called “the land of songs”). Many Lithuanian musicians (such as jazz and classical music performers) are well-known abroad. As Lithuanian folk dance is very popular, and more and more dance bands performing Latin, Street-Dance, Go-Go, Oriental and other dances are emerging, companies have a wide choice of bands to include their performances into a corporate event schedule.
As for team building events, corporate breaks and group incentive travel, there is a range of outdoor activities that tourists can pursue, whether the group needs to develop some teamwork skills or just have fun. For example why not go river canoeing in spring or snow-mobiling in winter? Teams looking for more masculine activities may choose go-karting, airsoft, paintball or clay pigeon shooting; meanwhile sailing, cycling, horse riding, safari in the woods and hot air-balloon rides will be best for those who seek active recreation and want to explore the Lithuanian countryside, featuring thick forests, picturesque town panoramas, graceful rivers, sand dunes on the Baltic coast and many more sceneries to see and admire.
Restaurants in major Lithuanian cities and resort towns make for wonderful venues for gala dinners and corporate parties; meanwhile a party at one of the capital’s night clubs is an ideal way to end up a corporate fun day in Lithuania.
It is not a secret that when panning such events, good value for money is the key criterion. One of the advantages of planning a corporate event in Lithuania is that besides the possibility to get value for money offers from corporate event planners, the prices in Lithuania are low as compared to many other European countries. R. M. Hutchins, known as an educational philosopher and a president of the University of Chicago once said, “I never stand when I can sit down”. Why not act according to this principle and take the latter position by arranging your next event in a country which can offer quality services that will not empty your wallet as they would probably do elsewhere... |
