Why September is the best month for a corporate event
September is always a time of transition, marking the end of the summer vacation season and the start of a normal, more structured routine. But for companies, it’s one of the best times to organize a corporate event. That said, here’s a full list of reasons why September is the perfect month to bring your team, customers or partners together for a memorable event.
Return of Motivation
After a summer break, employees generally have renewed energy. They are more open and stimulated by activities that are not the boring, routine work of an employee, for example, a corporate function. Organizing a meeting in September is therefore a chance to harness this positive energy and offer a unique opportunity for greater team cohesion and creativity.
It’s also a good opportunity to set specific year-end resolutions in a setting that inspires and motivates.
Beautiful weather
The weather in September is mild and pleasant, perfect for all types of outdoor programs. It’s not as hot as summer, but certainly mild enough to accommodate a number of outdoor activities without the discomfort of heat. Whether it’s a team-building activity, a seminar or simply a cocktail party, there are plenty of choices in September to suit all tastes.
Impact on competition
Unlike May and June, the times of year when you’re usually drowning in business events, September offers you a bigger window of opportunity. All the organizations that organize their events before the vacations mean that competition is much less fierce for the best dates and venues. Guests have had far less to do with their diaries, and are therefore much more likely to give you their time and availability for your event.
Budget and availability
September is also the cheapest time to book pitches and services with them. After the summer season, suppliers are more open to discussing the best possible offers to win new customers. What’s more, the availability rate is generally higher, which means you have a better chance of getting the location you want and the services you want, without compromise.
By choosing September for your corporate event, you’re choosing that magical time of year when spirits are high, the weather is mild and opportunities flow towards you more easily. Such intentional planning means your event won’t just be a show to remember, but it will energize your workgroup, creating a great quality time to draw from for the rest of the year. By taking advantage of the unique benefits of this transition period, you give your event the best possible chance of success, which means you’ll create an impression that will stay with your audience for a long time to come.
