We’re The Geraghty, one of Chicago's leading business event venues. If you are at the planning stage of an event, we'd like to give you a few tips. There are some absolute musts, and some real don'ts.

• Scalability: One of the most irritating, and sometimes disastrous problem for event managers is that the chosen venue simply cannot handle the scale of event functions. This is often the case with corporate promotions, business conferences, and other critical events. The simple fact is that for modern events, you need modern buildings. (The Geraghty was specifically designed as a creative-friendly venue for event managers and planners.)

• Back end amenities: Logistics and organizational needs of modern business events can be truly epic. If you need "handling" access, or a working with large and complex media and performances, you need a full spectrum of on-site facilities.

• Amenities for guests: Facilities for your guests should be provided on an appropriate scale, with no question of discomfort or inconvenience for your attendees. Basic facilities like restrooms, for example, are quite important, particularly for large-scale events.

• Design-friendly: It's amazing, when you consider how many major events are staged every year, and at some venues are simply not suitable for modern promotion design. For example, media facilities vary immensely between different venues.

• Style: There's a big difference between the A List and the Z List in this area. Upscale event venues may vary drastically, but the Style Factor is inescapable. You need to thoroughly explore the venue environment, on-site venue options, and ensure that your Style Factor is exactly what you want.
