Determine What Transportation Services In Houston Are Needed By Your Convention
When it comes to the needs of a major trade show or industry convention’s transportation needs being fulfilled, there is no such thing as a “one size fits all” solution. There are many similarities, especially when you consider that many of those major events are hosted all over the country at similar venues. That said, if you are involved in the planning process for any of those events, and you would like things to operate as smoothly as possible, travel and transport are critical components of that.
A well-established and experienced transportation company can closely work with you in order to determine what your needs are, and then they can fulfill those requirements. Any convention’s requirements are going to depend on factors such as the number of guests if there are a lot of VIPs, and where guests need to travel from and to on a regular basis, as well as a couple of other factors. If you do not think of everything, the transport company will ask you about it. The following are some of the options that are available for vehicles and the way they are utilized.
Mass Transport
In those cities where there is no public transport available, or there is no easy route provided for event attendees, then most likely you will be extensively utilizing shuttle service. The typical shuttle bus will hold about 55 individuals. However, at events with more than 10,000 attendees, or somewhere there are close to 100,000, there is a high number of shuttles that are used. However, simply having shuttles available is just one aspect of the overall process. You also need to have on-premise managers to oversee the traffic and its ebbs and flows, very knowledgeable (preferably local) drivers, along with a plan of action for routing. The transportation company, well before the event even begins, should have been in contact with law enforcement, city officials, and other important parties who may have a say in daily traffic flow. The easier and faster it is for your shuttles to get guests moved back and forth, the more smoothly our entire event will turn out.
VIP Transportation
Whenever you have a major gathering with industry leaders in attendance, there will be big influencers involved. You most likely will need to worry as well about invited guests, whether they happen to be celebrities, keynote speakers, or other well-known individuals. You will want them to have exclusive transportation options, whether it is limos, minibusses for teams, luxury SUVs, or other options available just for them. You will want to have a good showing, with that many influencers, and be sure to take good care of the individuals who might ultimately decide where the event is going to be held in the future.
Other Options To Consider
Due to the various fleet and shuttle VIP options that are available, event planners also need to look for ways to attract potential advertisers. There are a few ways that can be done. There are bigger vehicle sponsor opportunities that are available, including plastic wraps to go on shuttles. Those spaces may be purchased by companies that attend the event who are searching for ways to promote their new products, or to get their names out there. Also, electric golf-cart shuttles have spaces that can be used, since they will be traveling back and forth over the event floor and seen by numerous individuals.
