A well-planned corporate event can help your organization build lasting relationships and drive sales. You’ll also strengthen bonds between employees, clients, and partners. Here are seven steps to planning a successful corporate event:

• Set an objective and specific goals for the event.
• Narrow down what kind of event it will be and when you would ideally like to host your event. For example, consider dates, length of program, meetings, group activities, evening functions, and team building.
• Determine a budget, your desired destination or two, guest list, and theme.
• Organize a team and delegate responsibilities. Consider partnering with a corporate event planner.
• Promote your event internally or externally depending on the attendee group.
• Execute a successful event.
• Determine your Return on Event after the program based on actual spend, anticipated budget, and attendee feedback.

And the most important tip of all? Don’t forget that Christopherson’s meetings division, Andavo Meetings & Incentives, are the experts in corporate meetings and incentive travel.

Travel is an excellent way to increase sales and incentivize, reward, and motivate employees. To plan a corporate travel incentive trip for your employees, start by doing the following:

• Begin planning early. Clearly define goals for the trip and allow enough time for employees to meet the trip guidelines.
• Plan a trip your employees will love and are excited to experience–one they don’t want to miss out on!
• Create memorable experiences that they wouldn’t or couldn’t do on their own.
• The trip should provide them bragging rights with other employees.
• Enable a performance-tracking system.
• Encourage employees to succeed and meet target goals.
• Hire Andavo Meetings & Incentives to manage your corporate incentive trip.

Humanitarian travel is the act of traveling to another country or region to promote human welfare. Humanitarian work can match the mission and values of a host of different organizations, including religious groups or corporations. Examples of humanitarian work are helping people access fresh water, build a school, or receive medical care. Everyone can participate in humanitarian travel, and travelers can give aid on a small or large scale.

Humanitarian travel is volunteer-based and allows travelers to have a meaningful and positive impact on the world. Christopherson’s humanitarian travel agency, CV Humanitarian Travel, books humanitarian flights for many different types of organizations from corporations, churches, medical groups, and more. Our team books humanitarian fares on flights to reduce the overall cost while your team can focus on the humanitarian trip logistics.

One of the most commonly-asked questions regarding humanitarian travel is, “How long is a humanitarian trip?” The answer is that each trip varies in length. Your organization can choose how long you want your trips to be, whether that be for a few days or a few weeks.

The length of the trip will depend on what area you’re traveling to, where you plan to stay, and the type of humanitarian work you’d like to accomplish. Luckily, there are many to choose from, so you’re likely to find one that fits your plans. Christopherson’s humanitarian travel agency, CV Humanitarian Travel, can book your humanitarian airfares in qualified markets to provide savings.
