01 · Criteria

## The event first. The venue next.

Objectives, group size, participant origins, dates, accommodation and required services establish your selection criteria. Include accessibility, pace and technical needs.

- 01

### Your participants

Starting points, numbers and access needs: prepare a setting that makes participation easier.

- 02

### Your programme

Meetings, activities, evening events and any overnight stays: review the pace and spaces needed.

- 03

### Your constraints

Dates and flexibility, budget, existing choices and services to delegate: document what will guide the search.

02 · Settings

## Three ways to bring your team together.

These settings are planning ideas. They are not a catalogue of available venues or evidence of a Sourcing Force office.

Venue selection starts with your criteria. A geographical shortlist must rely on verified sources and conditions.

### In the city

Meetings, conferences and evening events: plan access and travel between programme sessions.

Plan this setting ↗

### In the countryside

Time together away from the everyday: plan accommodation, transfers and the pace of activities.

Plan this setting ↗

### International

Bring a team together around a shared project: clarify travel, working languages and local arrangements.

03 · Access

## Consider the full participant journey.

Record starting points, access needs and transfers to arrange. Allow suitable time within the programme without assuming timetables or journey times.

Actual conditions must be checked for each destination considered: an address, journey or capacity cannot be inferred from a suggested setting.

04 · Alternatives

## Compare equivalent scopes.

Define your preferred setting, acceptable alternatives, date flexibility and expected inclusions. An existing venue or selected service can remain your starting point.

Planning tool

### Your budget scope

Compare the same cost categories, inclusions and assumptions. The budget page provides editorial guidance without set prices or an automatic estimate.

Methods & reporting

### Venues and suppliers

Prepare comparison criteria and retain your existing supplier panel. Naming a city does not select or reserve a venue.

05 · Your brief

## Turn your idea into selection criteria.

In your brief, record your preferred setting, participants, dates, constraints and existing choices. Specify only the services to delegate.

The brief prepares your information; it does not launch a supplier search or confirm a reservation.

### Your event planning brief

Gather your preferred setting, participants, dates and existing choices. Leave unknown details to clarify.

## Useful guidance, when you need it.

Do we need to choose a city before starting?+

No. Your preferred setting, participants’ starting points and constraints can be enough to define your needs. A city or dates can remain open.

Do you offer a catalogue of available venues?+

This page presents criteria and suggested settings. It does not offer a confirmed catalogue, live availability or pricing. Actual conditions must be checked before selection.

What if we have already selected a venue?+

Keep that choice and specify only the services to delegate: catering, production, activities or other requirements. You do not need to start the entire event again.

Does a shortlist confirm a reservation?+

No. Preparing a brief creates neither a purchase request nor an order. Confirmation follows the process applicable to each service, including BME receiving the official purchase order corresponding to the purchase request.
