Welcome to the Cvent Community! It's time to kickstart the next edition of the Tip of the Week discussion! Switching things up occasionally is important, even for event organizers and corporate planners. If you're looking for unique event venues that offer something new and exciting, this guide explores the wonderful world of non-traditional event venues and their endless possibilities.
Asking around
Take advantage of your local hospitality network and its expertise. Ask area planners which venues they suggest, or grab a venue directory that covers your locale.
Using online directories
Online venue directories are a valuable resource for sourcing planners. Free sourcing tools like Cvent Supplier Network provide all the information planners need to find their next event space.
Joining online groups and forums
Look for local event groups on social media and forum sites. Ask for advice, answer questions, and engage with other members to uncover new venues and other insider information.
Checking networking websites
Sites like Eventbrite and Meetup make it easy to discover where networking events occur near you.
Paying attention to your surroundings
Is there a building you drive by daily that makes you think, "Wow, that place looks so cool. What is it?" If you don't ask, you'll never know.
Getting out and exploring
Get to know your destination, inside and out. Join a walking tour to discover parts of your city you've never seen before.
