Too many corporate event planners learn about the less than desirable room acoustics\u00a0during<\/em> their events. Don’t let this be you!<\/p>\n

Becoming aware of\u00a0the makeup of a\u00a0venue’s walls, ceilings, floors and acoustics can provide you, the\u00a0corporate event planner, with much needed intel as to what equipment will fit (height), the room’s echo, if the space is\u00a0shared, and if\u00a0the proposed theme will clash with the room’s existing decor.<\/p>\n

The following tips will prepare you for all things walls, ceilings, floors and acoustics as they apply to corporate\u00a0event planning<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Not all walls are created equal. There are air walls, hard walls, glass walls\u00a0and more, and\u00a0each of them\u00a0will have a different impact on your event.\u00a0\u00a0Air walls are movable, semi-acoustically insulated walls that travel on a track. They expand or retract, like an accordion. They allow the venue to easily close off or open up a space. Air walls are most common in big function spaces, and they are the most notorious for allowing noise between rooms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For example, if your event is going to be in a hotel ballroom that divides into thirds using air walls. The hotel person will show you your event space and say\u00a0\u201cThis is where the wall closes.\u201d During your inspection, it may seem like a nice, private space. Little do you know that on the other side of that air wall, there is going to be a wedding reception with a ten-piece band and a sound system flown from the ceiling. Your guests may not be thrilled with having to listen to the latest top 40 and hip-hop favorites while your CEO delivers the company\u2019s latest financial information.<\/p>\n

Always ask about the sound integrity of the air walls since there are many different types, all with their own quality of sound insulation.<\/p>\n

You have to pay attention to the ceiling type, floor covering and wall covering.<\/p>\n

These three elements must be controlled to ensure proper room acoustics at your corporate event.\u00a0<— Tweet This<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tall, exposed, or metal ceilings, concrete or tile floors, and bare block walls will all present issues to the event planner. They create acoustical challenges for an event that is going to provide any type of amplified entertainment or speaking. When they’re present in a venue, sound bounces off the floors and walls\u00a0and\u00a0it can create an echo effect that isn’t pleasant…to say the least. If this could get in the way of your next event, consider a\u00a0venue with some type of acoustical architectural ceiling, walls with carpet or panels, and a carpeted floor. These features\u00a0absorb the sound and eliminate any echoes\u00a0or hollow noises. If your budget allows for it, you can also easily address any acoustical challenges by having carpet and d\u00e9cor treatments brought in. They will not only help with acoustics, but also enhance the look of the venue<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While we’re at it, let’s talk a little more about carpets. If you’re going to use them to enhance the acoustics of your next event, don’t compromise\u00a0on their appearance! Some venues\u00a0have such wild carpet designs and bold colors that you can\u2019t help but wonder what exactly they were thinking when they chose it. Perhaps certain designs\u00a0looked nice in the 1970s, but in 2016 – they can throw off the look of your entire corporate event. If you\u2019re planning an elegant arrangement\u2014perhaps an awards dinner with\u00a0a\u00a0red color theme\u00a0\u2014 it’s probably best to avoid a\u00a0mauve and green jungle-print carpet.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have room in the budget to bring in your own floor covering, then it may be time to seek other options.<\/p>\n
