With more than 40 years of experience, NH Hotel Group prides itself on being a valued partner to planners, bookers and all those involved in the meetings and events industry. Known for our reliability and for being specialists in the field, we have developed a selection of innovative tools with the sole purpose of making the event planner’s and booker’s job significantly easier, saving them time, energy and money.
Allow us to introduce you to five of these innovative tools…
When selecting a partner for a major industry event you want to be sure that you are dealing with experts with a proven track record for that specific area. This is the reason that NH Hotel Group created our industry platforms, venues that specialize in providing facilities to meet the exact requirements of your event.
Discover our automotive business tool. You can pick from our list of hotels – there are over 380 across 31 countries – and then work with our team to evaluate the space to the dimensions required for the vehicles to be showcased. Having the cars parked in the most impactful area, at the right time, and unveiled with the class that befits the launch, is all handled by our experts. Other considerations – think ease of access and car washing facilities, for example – have all been carefully thought through to ensure complete success.
And don’t just take our word for it. Having had the honor of hosting thousands of automotive events around the globe, from training sessions and presentations to test drives and truck launches, our repeated success has been appreciated over and over by top brands such as Fiat and Nissan. With further platforms, including Entertainment and Pharma, in the pipeline, NH Hotel Group is taking industry-focused event management to a whole new level.
Already available in 24 hotels around the world, the 3D Meeting Planner Virtual Planner® Tool helps you to design the whole event before you book. Visualize the rooms, the breakout spaces and the reception area, analyzing their dimensions, how they connect on a plan, and what equipment is available in each.
From this overview, you can begin to build your meeting or event, virtually. Where will the tables and chairs be situated? How best can you maximize the speaker’s podium? What is the most efficient route to have attendees move to a tempting break? Then go further and choose the type of seating you require, the material for curtains, the type of screens or charts that will work best for your audience. All this done from your own office and as it’s created in three dimensions, you can review your work from a variety of perspectives. The built-in share option also means the rest of your team can quickly and simply add their input to the design before you go ahead and submit it to your contact at NH Hotel Group to take the virtual to reality.
Looking to inspire those at your event? Targeting long-term memories for your guests? Of course you are, and NH Hotel Group is here to help you meet those goals. Our high performance meeting program was designed with the ‘wow’ factor at its heart, while never losing a core value of effectiveness.
Take our SMART Room System-powered facilities, which ensures high quality audio and visual communication options for the attendees to connect with each other seamlessly in person or remotely. Then there’s our ClickShare tool, which allows easy and clear presentation of content as well as a very intuitive method for participant collaboration.
Now, when it comes to unique, why not impress your guests with the largest vault LED screen of any hotel in the world. At a stunning 300m2, it overlooks the lobby of the NH Collection Eurobuilding Madrid and provides a spectacular blank canvas that can be personalized to the needs of the event. Promotion that will stick.
At the top end, normally used for large events, we also offer the never-to-be-forgotten holographic experience whereby the speaker can, for example, project 3D images or videos of their latest product or venture. We can even bring a guest speaker onto the stage of your event no matter where they really are in the world. It truly needs to be seen to be believed. Or try out the superb wave-shaped LED videowall at nhow Milano, it will surely light up any event.
You know how it goes. You have a large event planned and require your attendees to have all the information they may need about it, ideally in one place, simple to understand and easy to access. One answer would be to develop a website for the event, although you know all too well how much time and effort that is going to require, especially to ensure that any amendments are maintained in a timely manner. Another, altogether more attractive, solution is to take advantage of NH Hotel Group’s Customized Group Website.
You agree all the details with our team and then provide the personalized website address to your attendees, speakers and anyone else involved. They can then log on at their leisure and book their preferred rooms, for their chosen duration, at the special price you have arranged with our hotel. And it’s not just about the room and internal information: your guests will be provided with details of the surrounding area, tips about transportation to and from the venue, maps, event news, and pretty much anything else you would like to incorporate.
The portal adds another layer of efficiency for the day of the event allowing the attendees to download a program of the sessions, their identification, and all documentation they may require. Made available at an appropriate date before the event, and closed down once it is all over, this centralization tool is proving as invaluable to planners as it is popular with attendees.
As you can see from these five initiatives, NH Hotel Group is clear about one thing: we will continue to develop and innovate in order to become an even stronger and more valuable partner to the professionals of the meetings and events industry. Come and speak to us about how best we can work together for your next exciting project.
