Why opt for a 2-day format?

Unlike a traditional half-day or one-day seminar, the 2-day format allows teams to really immerse themselves in the experience. It favors a long-term approach, which is essential for delving into strategic issues, taking a step back and creating lasting bonds between employees.

This format is ideal for project launch seminars, annual reviews, in-house training or corporate incentives.

Benefits of a residential seminar

A residential seminar lasts a minimum of 2 days, with accommodation directly on site. This offers numerous benefits for the company.

Cohesion, efficiency and motivation

A residential seminar strengthens human bonds, far from the usual work environment. Sharing several moments (meetings, meals, activities, evenings) creates a sense of belonging to the team, improves communication and boosts motivation.

Comparison with one-day seminar

A one-day seminar is often rushed, with little time for informal exchanges. A 2-day seminar alternates between concentration and breathing time, helping participants to better assimilate the messages and increase their commitment.

Key steps to organizing your 2-day seminar

Organizing a 2-day corporate seminar requires rigorous preparation to ensure its success. From the initial scoping to the logistical details, every element counts to create a fluid, coherent and impactful event. Here are the steps you need to take to organize your seminar effectively, taking into account the needs of your teams and your company's objectives.

Define objectives and budget

First of all, set the objectives of your seminar: product launch, communication improvement, training, team motivation... Then, define a realistic budget including accommodation, catering, entertainment, transport and meeting room hire.

Choose date and location

Opt for a period suited to your activity (excluding production peaks, back-to-school periods, etc.). The choice of venue is essential: it must offer calm, comfort and professional infrastructures. 

Located between Nîmes, Avignon and the Pont du Gard, our hotel in Uzès ticks all the boxes. Organize a seminar in Uzès in a place steeped in history and bathed in sunshine at the Boutique Hôtel Entraigues.

Planning the program: work, entertainment, relaxation

A good program alternates work sessions, team-building activities, free time and a convivial evening. Don't overload the schedule to leave room for spontaneity and informal cohesion.

Anticipating logistics and services

Plan for transfers, technical requirements (video projectors, flipcharts, wifi...), meals, snacks and entertainment. Check the venue's capacity and ancillary services (parking, pool, equipment, etc.).

Practical tips to optimize your organization

Timing tips and break management

Respect your participants' pace:

• Keep sequences short (1h to 1h30 max)
• Incorporate regular breaks to encourage informal exchanges
• Plan for free time slots

Adapt the program to your team's profile

The seminar must reflect your corporate culture:

• Youth teams? Focus on dynamism and games
• More experienced profiles? Prefer co-construction workshops and quiet discussions
• Mixing generations? Alternate formats and moods
