Team building activities

in Dubai for expats

• These events can be for large audiences such as conventions and conferences, or smaller events such as retreats, holiday parties or even private concerts. It is also commonly used to mean corporate hospitality, the process of entertaining guests by letting them play games like mini golf in Dubai.

• Whether you are a professional planner or you got stuck with the task for your business, knowing how to plan a corporate event can be a tricky endeavour to ensure that you cover all of the details.

• From food, to location, to atmosphere and more, the perfect event takes planning and effort to come off seamlessly. Conceptualize your big idea, a.k.a. come up with your theme.

• Whether you are doing a cocktail party, a workshop or team building activities in Dubai, setting a theme gives the tone of the event and gives you a starting point when picking your food, your music, your decor and more.

• Make sure that your theme is appropriate to the crowd for which you are planning. You can find a large variety of theme ideas online to get you started.

• Start making appointments to view locations and meet other vendors. Discuss room rental costs and what is included in those fees.

• Determine what the hours are that you will have access to the room. If no one books it the night before, can you have access to get in and decorate or set up? Are they providing the service ware for the food, or do you need to bring in or rent your own linens, plates, napkins and silverware.

• Does the food have to come from that location, or can you bring in an outside caterer? If you can bring in your own caterer, start meeting with potential vendors to taste their food and determine their pricing.

• Determine if your venue requires you to bring in outside security for your event. This not only protects you from liability, but this can help keep outsiders from crashing your party.

• Look to hire a licensed bartender if your facility cannot provide one, and you choose to have alcohol at the event.

• Find out if the venue can provide props for team building activities in Dubai.

• Some facilities have a wide variety of items that you can use such as candles, mirrors to set on the table, glass jars, etc.

• So if you can take advantage of anything being provided for free, you can save quite a bit on your budget.

• Determine your menu with your caterer or facility, and determine the timing and manner of serving.

• Will it be a buffet or a sit-down, plated meal? Are you doing appetizers ahead of time, and/or are you considering a dessert bar later in the evening? Iron out the exact details and timing so that your guests don't go hungry at any point.
