Meetings matter. Whether you are booking your next big event or even an internal meeting for your co-workers, remember these 10 quick tips to have a successful event:
- Pick a destination where your attendees want to go.
- Ooh la la them! Create a sense of anticipation.
- Enhance your evening gathering. Create a theme or provide a unique experience.
- Golf, ski, spa, beach… Build a little free time in the schedule.
- Save time and headaches for everyone! Use technology to your advantage and provide registration through event software.
- Prevent ducking out at important times by not planning every meal. Let your attendees have some private time. It will save you money too!
- Who, what, when, where, how – Give attendees easy-to-read information.
- Be prepared – Do you need audio visual equipment, catering, permits, signs, etc.?
- Everyone has a different idea of fun! Offer a variety of activities.
- Meet or beat budgets! Negotiate with suppliers, services, and venues.
