Generally, 15 to 30 minutes of changeover time is sufficient. Changing the venue layout (moving tables and chairs, setting up catering) will take approximately 15 to 30 minutes. During this time, attendees can wait in a separate room and be offered a welcome drink.

Cost reductions of 50-80% are possible, including venue and travel expenses. The larger the event, the more significant the savings will be, considering the additional costs of renting a separate venue, travel expenses for participants, and duplicate setup costs.

Prioritize companies with ample experience in loading, setting up, and dismantling, and ideally, companies that can take into consideration hygiene management and allergy-friendly practices.

The biggest benefit for participants from far away is that the event can be held at the same venue, eliminating the need for travel. Even those who are constrained by time on the Shinkansen or plane are more likely to think, "I'll just attend for a little while."
