Meetings 2025:

Companies and event planners are faced with the challenge of securing the best seminar hotels and locations for their meetings, conferences and corporate events in good time.

By planning early, you not only secure the best places, but also benefit from the numerous advantages that long-term planning brings. Read this article to find out why it pays to plan early and which trends and expectations are relevant for 2025.

Why is it important to plan meetings and events for 2025 now?

Planning meetings and events for 2025 should not be put on the back burner. The demand for first-class venues is constantly increasing, and those who plan early can secure the best places. In addition, you will have more time to carefully think through all the details and ensure a successful event.

What are the advantages of planning meetings and events early?

• Flexibility: Early planning gives you more flexibility in choosing the date and location.
• Better organization: More time allows for more thorough preparation and coordination of everyone involved.
• Cost efficiency: Early planning can lead to better conditions due to more flexibility. It is therefore worth comparing different offers.
• Risk minimization: Unforeseen problems can be identified and solved at an early stage.
• Greater choice of providers and services: With more lead time, you have a greater choice of caterers, technical service providers and other providers who are often booked up early.
• Better attendee management: You have more time to invite attendees, get feedback and consider special needs or requirements.
• More time for marketing and promotion: Early planning allows you to promote your event extensively and reach a higher number of participants.
• Increased creativity and innovation: With more planning time, you can develop creative and innovative concepts that will make your event unforgettable.

• Hybrid events: The combination of virtual and physical events will continue to grow, offering flexibility as well as greater reach and accessibility.
• Sustainability: Environmentally friendly and sustainable venues and event practices will become increasingly important.
• Technological integration: State-of-the-art technology for presentations, interactive elements and networking is expected.
• Work-life balance: Flexibly designed meetings improve the work-life balance of participants. This includes shorter and more efficient meetings and locations that offer relaxation.
• Balancing the needs of different generations: Meetings must meet the needs of all generations. While younger generations prefer modern, technology-based meetings, older generations value traditional structures and efficient technologies.
• Outdoor venues: Locations by the lake, in the countryside and in the mountains remain relevant.
• Innovative room concepts and multifunctional rooms: Another trend is multifunctional rooms that are used as co-working spaces during the day and as event locations in the evening. These rooms are often equipped with state-of-the-art technology and offer the advantage that event planners do not have to invest as much in technical equipment.
• Short-term rentals for meetings and seminars: The demand for flexible rental options for meeting and seminar rooms is constantly increasing. Many companies prefer to rent rooms for just a few hours or half a day. This enables efficient use of resources and a reduction in costs.
