Planning starts 3 to 6 months in advance.

The concept, planning, and general program of the kickoff meeting will depend on the size of the event. You want to decide about six months before the date of the event. (If it’s small or simple, we may start three months in advance.)

When hundreds or thousands of people gather in one place, the choice of venues is limited, to begin with. For a corporate kick-off meeting, a hotel’s Most of the time, a large banquet hall is used.
