We Understand ... We've been there!

Are you stretched for time, resources and expertise when it comes to organising that conference or event?

Do you have a day job which requires all your time, resources and expertise without the distraction of yet another task which will hinder the delivery of your core services?

The additional work in bringing together a successful conference, event or exhibition just adds to the burden you face on a day to day basis doing what you are supposed to be doing.

It's more than just time. Conferences and events have become very complicated businesses and complicated things need expertise and knowledge if you are to avoid making unnecessary mistakes.

  • How much time do you have to organize your event. Events take time and much detail to organize;
  • Your program is a key factor in attracting the right numbers of delegates to make your event a success. But what do you have to do to make your program a success?
  • Then there is the planning - who is going to do it? Will you have any help? What guidance will they need?
  • Speakers - who are they, how do you get them, whaqt do they cost?
  • How will you decide and contract your suppliers - venues, accommodation, catering, transport, AV, conference bags?
  • Will you have an exhibition, and how will that be organised and managed?
  • How will you collect and manage registrations?
  • Did you think about the run sheets....

Mistakes cost time, money and your reputation. It's very frustrating.

That's why you'll be very excited to hear about the incredible opportunity I'm about to share with you... Analissa l.Jardin

Steps to Planning an Event

The first step to planning an event is determining its purpose, whether it is for a wedding, company, birthday, festival, graduation or something else. From this the event planner needs to choose entertainment, location, guest list, speakers, and content. The location for events is endless, but with event planning they would likely be held at hotels, convention centers, reception halls, or outdoors depending on the event. Once the location is set the coordinator/planner needs to prepare the event with staff, set up the entertainment, and keep contact with the client. After all this is set the event planner has all the smaller details to address like set up of the event such as food, drinks, music, guest list, budget, advertising and marketing, decorations, all this preparation is what is needed for an event to run smoothly.An event planner needs to be able to manage their time wisely for the event, and the length of preparation needed for each event so it is a success.
