Plan ahead for an effective start to the year

Bookings for early-year meetings are picking up, so now is a good time to reserve venues for the kick-offs, planning days and team meetings that will get the year underway. S-Meets offers meeting rooms for corporate events of all sizes across Finland. You can compare venues, prices and dates and easily book the right meeting room online.

As plans for the coming year take shape, the year’s most important get-togethers also start finding their place in the calendar. For many organisations, January begins with a joint kick-off, strategy day or team planning day. At the same time, training days, workshops and other meetings designed to get the year off to a successful start are added to the calendar.

Once you know the date and the number of participants, it is worth starting your search for a meeting room before the turn of the year. By booking early, you will have more options when it comes to location, venue and timing.

What kind of meeting room is right for an early-year kick-off or meeting?

The right meeting room depends first and foremost on what you want to achieve during the day.

A small management team or team meeting calls for a quiet space for discussion and decision-making. A workshop benefits from a flexible environment where participants can work both together and in smaller groups. A larger kick-off, on the other hand, requires more space, reliable presentation technology and the opportunity to bring everyone together around a shared agenda.

S-Meets offers more than 500 different meeting rooms across Finland. You can search for venues by location, number of participants, date and time, among other criteria. Venue-specific information includes details such as capacity and suitable seating arrangements, making it easy to compare different options.

The meeting room price calendar helps you find the right time

If there is still flexibility in your early-year meeting calendar, you may also be able to influence the cost of your meeting. With S-Meets’ meeting room-specific price calendar, you can compare prices for different dates and find a time that suits both your schedule and your budget. If your meeting is not tied to a specific day, checking prices for nearby dates can help you optimise the overall cost of the meeting.

Booking a meeting room does not have to mean sending requests for quotations back and forth. S-Meets is an online service where you can search for and book meeting rooms online. The service is available 24/7, and you can see the real-time availability of rooms that can be booked online. You receive confirmation immediately after making an online booking. Managing and updating your bookings is also easy in the same service, without time-consuming phone calls and emails.

Meeting rooms across Finland

Sometimes stepping outside your usual environment can help energy and ideas flow in a completely different way. Sokos Hotels offers a wide range of meeting rooms across Finland and in Tallinn.

When choosing a location, consider where the participants will be travelling from and what kind of environment best supports the goals of the day. Sometimes the best option is close to the office, while at other times a completely new environment can help everyone step away from everyday routines and focus on planning together.

For a full-day meeting, breaks and refreshments also make a difference. Sokos Hotels meeting services include options such as morning and afternoon coffee and meeting lunches to give the day a natural rhythm. The details can be easily managed in S-Meets.fi.
