Frequently Asked Questions
For major conferences and executive retreats, we recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially during peak seasons (spring and fall). This timeline allows optimal venue selection, better vendor rates, and thorough planning execution. Smaller corporate events can often be managed with 3-6 months notice, though earlier booking always provides more options and better pricing.
International corporate events must comply with EU regulations regarding attendee visas, data privacy (GDPR), and local business licensing requirements. We handle permit applications, coordinate with local authorities for large gatherings, manage tax implications for international attendees, and ensure compliance with Italian hospitality regulations. Our regulatory expertise prevents delays and complications.
We provide professional interpretation services in over 20 languages, coordinate cultural orientation for international speakers and VIPs, adapt event programming to respect diverse business customs, manage dietary restrictions and religious considerations, and provide multilingual signage and materials. Our cultural sensitivity protocols ensure all interactions meet international business standards.
