A firm can accumulate considerable prestige when it holds a training day. If it has information and skills to share with other players in its sectors, it can generate a lot of goodwill and enhance its image by orchestrating a participatory event of this type. Event management demands meticulous attention to detail and careful planning. If things go wrong, the positive outcomes an event can have for a firm may be eroded substantially. In a worst case scenario, a poorly organised training day can prove to be a reputation management disaster.

One of the ways a training day can be less than satisfactory is if it is held in an unsuitable venue. If the venue is inaccessible, those who attend may turn up late and stressed. If the audiovisual equipment is faulty, individual sessions may leave audiences frustrated. There is also the significant matter of acquiring the use of meeting rooms which are sufficiently large to make the event go smoothly. There is also the issue of affordability. Hence there are quite a few aspects of the venue which can have a partly determining impact on outcomes.

Training days should always be held in buildings which combine functionality and aesthetics in an effective manner. This means that the individuals who listen to the speakers and involve themselves in the workshops should be in a positive mood. Meeting rooms which are dirty, cramped or unattractive generate a negative atmosphere which can have a really negative impact on collective performance.
