It’s Safe to Meet
Business Events Waikato, Hamilton & Waikato Tourism’s Convention Bureau, would like to reassure meeting planners that it is safe to continue to hold meetings and business events whilst we are in ‘Level Two’ provided they are for under 100 people.
“Our Waikato venues are acquainted with the guidelines and protocols to ensure that people can meet safely” says Hamilton & Waikato Tourism’s Business Events Manager, Amanda Graham.
H3 Business Development Manager Melissa Williams says that the Claudelands team has rigorously tested the delegate experience and has come up with easy, cost-effective, out-of-the-box options for clients to meet safely and with confidence. This includes a selection of room configurations that ensure the required spacing between attendees and unobstructed flow, and audio-visual packages developed alongside AV specialists Vidcom to provide clients with online video-conferencing capabilities. Claudelands has put in place tools for easy and robust contact tracing for all people on site.
“We know event organisers will be feeling extra pressure to ensure they’ve covered all bases when it comes to health and safety requirements at their events, so these packages and options are designed to take some of that stress away,” says Williams.
Graham says “All our people working in the meetings sector throughout the Waikato region would like to reassure organisers that they will receive the same personalized, flexible, responsive service they have come to expect. People you can trust, people who work in partnership with you and with each other to deliver your meetings safely and professionally”.
