that the scenic quality of our daily environments has a direct correlation on our wellbeing. What’s more, a Harvard University Paper in 2015 found that the cognitive performance of office workers in green office spaces was double those working in conventional environments. Use this theory to help you look for conference
spaces that can offer something a bit different – whether that’s a rooftop garden or waterside view.
‘It’s important to encourage regular breaks otherwise you run the risk of fatigue amongst your delegates’
Give me a break You’ve found a venue with an inspiring scenic view and setting so be sure to make the most of this by giving delegates the opportunity to get some fresh air. You may be working to a tight schedule, but it’s important to encourage regular breaks otherwise you run the risk of fatigue amongst your delegates. There seems to be a misconception that allowing
breaks will eat into valuable conference time. However, breaks are extremely important in giving delegates that energy boost they need. Your breaks only need to be 10 minutes long but

keep them regular and make sure they are good quality. Allowing delegates to get some fresh air, tea or coffee will keep them motivated and productive throughout a long day. Breaks also give delegates the opportunity to check emails, allowing them to give full concentration to the session at hand rather than wondering what is going on back at the office!
Food glorious food We all know that food has a direct impact on our energy and performance, which is why it’s so important for conference organisers to carefully consider a venue’s menu before booking. While we’re not suggesting cutting the pastries and
cakes completely, it’s important to keep delegates bright eyed and bushy tailed by providing healthy and nutritional alternatives where possible. Speak to your venue to get a good idea of what food they can offer and how flexible they can be to meet your requirements. After all, well-fed and looked after delegates equate to happy and productive delegates!
