Barcelona offers a multitude of venues for client meetings, presentations, team meetings, incentive days, AGMs, conferences and exhibitions. Looking to hire meeting rooms in Barcelona?

Location, Location, Location

If you are planning a business meeting in Barcelona, the first thing to consider is location. If people are arriving by air, time is of the essence and they want to get away quickly, you’ll find what you need close to the airport which is about a 20 minute transfer to the city. For example, the four-star Tryp Barcelona Aeropuerto has several meeting rooms for hire in varying sizes, the smallest suitable for up to eight people.

On the other hand, if you want to give your guests, delegates or staff an experience of the city, pick a venue close to the centre or in one of the recognised business disctricts.

Purpose built examples include The Regus World Trade Center at the end of the ultra famous Las Ramblas in the old port area and the Euro Business Centre near the Placa d’Espana in Sant-Montjuic. The impressive Hotel Rey Juan Carlos I in Les Corts offers packages for ‘Small Luxury Meetings’; ‘Green Meetings’ to cut your carbon footprint and just generally make you feel better about your trip; and outdoor meeting spaces in delightful gardens to inspire and enhance meeting productivity.

Whatever your needs for meeting rooms for hire in Barcelona, call on a reputable professional conference coordinator like Conference Coordinator Spain who have established relationships with the various venues and therefore power to negotiate lower charges, saving you money along with valuable time.

Chatting to a friend last week, they said they’d been telling a business colleague about how they’d been looking at holding team building events in Barcelona to help boost staff morale. The colleague asked, “All sounds good fun for my staff, but as the one footing the bill, what will I get out of a team building day?” A valid question … and this was my answer…

It will develop skills in your employees they didn’t know they had. They’ll be put into one or more teams in which they’ll take on specific roles and experience different ways of working together. While they’re having fun and taking on new challenges, they will bond and learn more about how individuals contribute to team success.

Why Barcelona?

It’s a very business like area; there are plenty of hotels, lots to do leisure wise ‘after hours’ and the city is totally geared up to host team building events.

Professionals that coordinate Barcelona team building services know what is available there. Like with Conference Coordinator Spain, our people are all from commercial backgrounds and so can quickly recognise just what is needed, and then just as quickly find it. You won’t have to spend precious time on research and you’ll have access to deals you’d otherwise never realise.

What will the event consist of?

We are thinking up new ideas all the time and the wide variety of team building activities available in Barcelona ranges from traditionally run courses, to treasure hunts, orienteering, or paintballing. You can even have a day based on a TV programme such as The Apprentice.

I think that answers the question!

A Barcelona team building company such as Conference Coordinator Spain can arrange a complete package for you covering travel, accommodation, catering, meeting venues, sightseeing trips: whatever Barcelona team building services you need, consider them coordinated!

There is a multitude of meeting rooms for hire in Madrid, however, finding one that exactly suits your purpose and your budget could prove a time consuming task. How to go about it? Here are a few ideas:

Use the Web

A natural place to start of course, but could it be a case of information overload? Type in the search term ‘meeting rooms Madrid’, and you’ll get about 560,000 sites listed in Google and well over 5,000 in Yahoo. Where are you going to find the time to look at even a small percentage of them? And those you do make time for will take some sifting through before you can be remotely confident about booking one.

Even then, you might have to telephone to check if all your requirements can be met. If not, you’ll have to start all over again. If they say yes, you could still turn up on the day and find things are not as expected.

So, what else could you do?

Recommendations from Colleagues and Contacts

Know anyone who has hired meeting rooms in Madrid? Trawl your contacts and make yourself a list of their recommendations. Then you can make a start on looking up their websites, calling them with your queries and comparing the results. Although probably not such a good idea if you are the sort of person who likes to keep an eye on your phone bill! And again, it’s time consuming and sometimes one person’s likes may be the very things that are your dislikes.

Visit Madrid

Expensive and time consuming maybe, however you’ll be able to see for yourself what is on offer where meeting rooms for hire are concerned. But will you be able to judge if you are getting a good deal? If the budget is tight, this option won’t be open to you anyway.

So, what to do? Time is of the essence and what you really want is someone who knows what they are doing and can negotiate on your behalf to take the entire task off your hands so you can get on with working your way through the rest of the jobs on your to do list.

Use a Business Event Organiser

The best thing to do is find yourself a professional conference coordinator who is familiar with the area and can point out Madrid’s best meeting rooms for hire. People who arrange business events for a living can be trusted to deliver every time, or they wouldn’t stay in business very long. They also have real negotiating power when it comes to getting you the best rates in the local hotels or business centres. Having someone else make all the arrangements while you get on with work you would otherwise have to neglect means you won’t come back to an enormous backlog.

Letting a professional find your meeting room for hire in Madrid saves you time and money and makes good business sense.
