FAQs

Event and conference facilities audits should be conducted quarterly, with more frequent checks on high-use equipment and spaces. A comprehensive annual audit is recommended to align with industry trends and technological advancements.

The audit should be led by the Director of Events or Conference Services Manager, in collaboration with the IT department, Facilities Manager, and key members of the events team.

Key areas include audiovisual equipment functionality, room layouts and flexibility, lighting systems, acoustics, internet connectivity, catering capabilities, accessibility features, event coordination processes, and overall aesthetic appeal of the spaces.

Audit results can be used to upgrade technology and equipment, redesign spaces for better functionality, enhance staff training in event management, improve marketing materials for event spaces, and develop new event packages that showcase the hotel's strengths.

Client feedback is crucial. The audit should include a review of post-event surveys, client testimonials, and direct feedback from event planners to identify areas for improvement and ensure that the facilities meet evolving client needs and expectations.
