Essential Steps to Planning a Flawless Corporate Event
Whether it's a board-level dinner or a company-wide annual day, every corporate event requires structure. Here’s our proven 10-step framework at Kermis:
Fireside Chats & Speed Networking
Start with a clear business goal. Is it team engagement, stakeholder recognition, brand awareness, or internal alignment?
Set a Realistic Budget
Kermis provides detailed budgeting templates tailored to corporate structures—CAPEX vs. OPEX clarity, cost control mechanisms, and real-time budget dashboards.
Assemble an Internal Taskforce
One point of contact with decision-making authority ensures fast turnarounds. We collaborate directly with HR, marketing, or admin heads.
Pick the Right Date
Avoid clashing with peak travel seasons, fiscal closings, or internal project deadlines.
Choose a Venue That Matches the Mood
We shortlist venues based on your objective—e.g., ballrooms for AGMs, resort-style for offsites, or tech-friendly for hybrid launches.
Design the Experience
From RSVP emails to branded stage designs, every touchpoint is an opportunity to communicate company culture.
Vendor Coordination & Tech Setup
At Kermis, we handle 100% vendor sourcing—from AV to F&B—and deploy in-house supervisors to ensure nothing slips.
Plan for Contingencies
Power backup, tech redundancies, extra printables, emergency contacts—we cover every “what if.”
Engage the Audience
Whether it’s live polling during a town hall or a gamified leaderboard at a team event, we create smart engagement layers.
Post-Event Reporting
We deliver a full recap with metrics: attendance, engagement, feedback, and ROI—all aligned with your event's KPIs.
