Organising a conference can be a headache of a task, particularly for those who have been allocated this role for the first time. You feel personally responsible for how the event will transpire. You may feel unsure of whether all key matters have been addressed pre-event. All parties involved with the event come to you with their problems and event questions.
Coordinating the needs of many can leave organisers feeling overwhelmed.

CONFERENCE PLANNING BASICS
Three things worth considering . . .
- Seek a clear understanding from management concerning the expected outcomes for the event.
- Establish the list of attendees paying particular attention to dietary requirements.
- Allow sufficient time for securing the right venue. One with solid experience with meetings. Many conferences are booked 3-6 months before the event. An experienced venue can really add to your event.
That’s just for starters. To fully understand the process we offer a free conference planning guide.
