CORPORATE EVENTS · TRANSPORT PLANNING GUIDE

How Does Corporate Event Transport Work?

Corporate event transport moves delegates, employees, clients or guests between hotels, venues, airports and other locations as part of the event schedule. The transport plan should be built around passenger numbers, timings, locations and the wider programme.

START WITH THE EVENT

Transport Should Follow the Event Programme.

The event itinerary determines when transport is required. Once the programme is understood, each passenger movement can be mapped to the correct time, location and destination.

01 PEOPLE

Who Is Travelling?

Establish the number of delegates, employees, executives, clients or guests requiring transport for each movement.

02 LOCATIONS

Where Are They?

Hotels, offices, stations, airports and event venues should be identified precisely rather than treated as general areas.

03 TIMINGS

When Must They Move?

Transport timings should support the event schedule, including when passengers need to arrive rather than only when they need to leave.

04 JOURNEYS

Where Are They Going?

Each movement needs a defined destination and should fit logically into the journeys that take place before and after it.

SIMPLE RULE

Build the event schedule first and the transport schedule around it — not the other way around.

EVENT MOVEMENTS

One Event Can Require Several Types of Transport.

Corporate events rarely consist of one journey. Different passenger groups can require different movements throughout the programme.

01

Airport Arrivals

Moving delegates or guests from the airport to their hotel, event venue or another destination.

02

Hotel Transfers

Moving groups between accommodation and the main event, conference or meeting location.

03

Event Shuttles

Repeated or scheduled group movements between designated locations during an event programme.

04

Evening Movements

Transfers to dinners, receptions, hospitality venues or other scheduled parts of the programme.

05

Executive Movements

Separate transport requirements for executives, speakers, hosts or smaller passenger groups where required.

06

Departures

Moving passengers from hotels, venues or other locations to airports and stations after the event.

EVENT LOGISTICS

What Makes the Transport Plan Work?

01
PASSENGER NUMBERS

Know Each Group Size

Passenger numbers should be understood by movement rather than relying only on the total number attending the event.

02
VEHICLE ALLOCATION

Match Vehicles to Movements

Vehicle type should reflect the passenger numbers, luggage, journey and requirements of that particular movement.

03
PICKUP POINTS

Use Clear Locations

Hotels and venues may have different access arrangements, so pickup and drop-off locations should be established before operation.

04
TIMINGS

Plan Around Arrival Time

Work backwards from when passengers need to arrive and consider the practical journey rather than using only the event start time.

05
COMMUNICATION

Keep Instructions Clear

Organisers, passengers and the transport operation should have clear information about the relevant movements.

THE GOAL

Good event transport should support the programme without becoming the programme. Passengers should know where they need to be, while the movements operate around the event schedule.
