Escorts: think about a tour in the city, at the closed monuments, at a program for spare time and shopping
Equippment: verify carefully the equippment you need in your meeting

Buffet Breakfast: with a maximum of 20 people you may organize a fast breakfast; with 50 people you have to consider 40 – 50 minutes.

Dinner or Lunch: it is ideal to allow your guest to speak to each other. So you promote a moment of socialization/work

Coffee Break: essential to have a break and allow the present people to go out (to smoke a sigarette, go to the toilette, ecc.). You have to remember that the attention and concentration collapses after about 45 minutes and may recover after a break of 10 minutes, best after a sugar administration (cakes or fruit juice)

Guest and rooming list: Decide with care who to invite in order to value the number and kind of rooms you need (singleroom, doubleroom, DUS).
