When searching for a workshop venue, check Peerspace first. Peerspace keeps active listings of unique workshop venues in your local area, which may include private creative studios, trendy meeting spaces in hip cafes, boutique hotel conference rooms, and so much more. A unique workshop venue can set the tone for the entire event. In drab surroundings, participants tend to be less energetic and participatory. In cool, creative environments, innovative energy flourishes, and workshops thrive.

The best workshop planning checklist is the one you make yourself, customized to your own needs. Make sure to include these crucial steps: First, schedule the date and time of the workshop, and select the workshop venue. Second, prepare any materials the participants will need, from printed itineraries to handouts and name tags, if applicable. Third, prepare presentation materials—i.e. PowerPoint slides, videos, etc. Finally, ensure that participants will have access to drinks and refreshments.

When looking for a workshop invite template, you can't go wrong searching the web. Look for platforms that help users design documents, like Canva. Check social media networks—especially Pinterest—for free templates. E-commerce platforms that sell design templates like Creative Market and Etsy will have workshop invite templates available too if you're willing to pay a few dollars for one you like.

When conducting a workshop, some prep work and creativity can be the difference between an incredible event and an absolute bore. First, ask yourself some basic questions: What's the purpose of your workshop? How many attendees do you expect? How long will your workshop last? With these items in mind, you can move on to finding the perfect workshop venue. Workshops are generally participatory and small, with a focus on interaction and collaboration. This is what differentiates them from lectures or seminars. Keep things interactive and creative, with a focus on what participants will do during the workshop, not on what they'll be told.
