Almost the End of the Business Year
The last quarter of the year is fast approaching, one of the busiest seasons for employees who are juggling year-end reports, last-minute revenue and KPI targets, planning for the year ahead, and departmental activities.
Once the BER months start, calendars quickly fill up not just yours, but also those of conference venues, event halls, hotels, restaurants, and other spaces for holiday gatherings.
If you are the head of your department, part of the Human Resources team, or simply the one assigned to book a venue, the best thing to do is plan early. Not only can availability become more limited, but rates for these venues can also increase during peak season.
Why Start Planning in September?
Getting an Agreed Date for Your Team Can Be Difficult
Year-end meetings and celebrations involve multiple people, so finding a date that works for everyone can be a challenge. Employees may already have deadlines, meetings, personal commitments, and other activities on their calendars.
Planning ahead gives you more time to coordinate schedules, confirm attendees, and agree on a date that works for the team before everyone's calendars become even busier.
Find the Right Space for Your Group
When you start looking for your year-end venue early, you’ll have more options to choose from. You can consider your group size, budget, type of event, setup, and location instead of simply choosing whatever space is still available.
Most venues have minimum and maximum capacity requirements, so having more options gives you a better chance of finding a venue that fits your team and your budget.
Avoid Having to Compromise on Your First Choice
As December gets closer, more companies begin booking venues for year-end meetings, team activities, and Christmas gatherings. Your preferred date or venue may already be booked by the time you start looking.
Planning ahead gives you more control over your plans. You can secure the date and venue that work best for your team instead of having to move your event, adjust your plans, or settle for a less suitable option simply because it is still available.
Not Every Year-End Event Needs a Huge Venue
Not every year-end gathering needs a large setup. For smaller teams and departments, what matters is having a comfortable and practical space where everyone can meet, focus, and enjoy the occasion.
A conference or event room can be suitable for different corporate activities, such as:
- Year-end planning sessions: Review this year’s performance and start planning for the year ahead.
- Team meetings: Bring the team together to discuss priorities, updates, and plans before the year wraps up.
- Workshops: Give teams a dedicated space for brainstorming, training, or strategy sessions away from the usual office environment.
- Department gatherings: Get a smaller group together for a team lunch, appreciation event, or simple get-together.
- Small Christmas celebrations: Celebrate with your team in a more intimate setting without having to book a large venue.
The goal is to find a venue that fits the event, not one that is bigger than what you actually need.
Why Consider Hotel MySpace BGC?
Hotel MySpace BGC is located along University Parkway Drive, at the center of BGC’s business and entertainment district, near Market! Market!, Uptown, and SM Aura. If your team wants to continue the gathering outside the venue, these destinations are just minutes away.
Our function room can accommodate up to 50 pax and comes with essential amenities, including tables, chairs, and WiFi. It is also equipped with a sound system and wireless microphone, providing the essentials for presentations, discussions, and other program activities.
Brewed coffee and juice are included in the package. If you’d like to add food or snacks for your guests, let us know. We can also provide catering options to complete your event.
Hotel Accommodation for Guests Who Need a Room
If some of your guests are coming from outside BGC or prefer to stay overnight after the event, accommodation is available right within the hotel.
Hotel MySpace BGC offers Standard, Deluxe King, Deluxe Twin, Supreme Triple, and Family Suite rooms, giving you options depending on whether you’re accommodating an individual guest, a couple, or a small group. The rooms also come with essentials such as pocket-spring beds, air conditioning, work desks, and WiFi.
This can be especially convenient for companies hosting guests from outside Metro Manila or teams that want to keep their meeting, gathering, and accommodation in one location.
Parking and Other Hotel Conveniences
For guests arriving by car, parking is available at the hotel. Having these conveniences on-site helps make the experience easier for both organizers and attendees, from arrival to departure.
Keep Your Event Simple From Start to Finish
One of the advantages of holding your event at a hotel is having your meeting, gathering, and accommodation in one location. Your team can hold a planning session, continue with a team activity or celebration, and have guests stay overnight without coordinating with multiple venues and accommodations.
For organizers, that means fewer arrangements to manage. For attendees, it means a more convenient experience from start to finish.
