Hosting a Conference? 6 Planning Tips You Need to Know

Feb 22, 2016 | Posted by BMS Computer | A/V Rentals, Conference, Event Planning |

Are you getting ready for an important business event or to host a conference? Here are several tips to make sure it’s a success that won’t tank your net profits.

To Host a Conference, First Set a Budget

To host a conference that would be remembered- you should start with clear budgeting. We aren’t just talking about a set figure for the whole event, either – we mean a detailed budget that clearly assigns funds for specific necessities. From renting space to buying food to paying guest speakers, everything should be set out. This will help you make all the important decisions early on, providing a map for everything that comes after.

Develop Partnerships

Partnerships are a great way to save money and time when planning a conference. There’s a good chance someone else out there also wants to hold an event, so why not combine forces? This helps improve funding and gives you access to resources and ideas you may not have had on your own.

Research Your Location

It’s hard to overstate how important the location is to an event, because every detail matters. You need a place that’s the right size and the right distance away, equipped with outlets and other important components. Start your research as early as you can, and try to see the space in person before making a decision. Then register the conference room as soon as you are ready to avoid any scheduling conflicts.

Update Everyone

As the creator of the conference, it’s your job to send out invites and keep everyone updated on the status of the event. That doesn’t mean you need to send out an email every day, but it’s smart to keep people invested and to send out reminders as the even draws closer. This will improve attendance.

Rent Equipment and Electronics

Conferences – especially these days – require a lot of electronics, especially if you have multiple presentations. Rather than having everyone bring their own devices (a giant compatibility headache), instead try renting the equipment that you need for the conference, so everyone stays on the same page and everything is there when you need it.

Get Contact Information

Contact information is important for two reasons. First, it helps you maintain business relationships and send out information on post-event planning, future events, and of course, thank you notes for attending. Second, it allows you to create leads much more easily if any clients show up. Get contact information early on and hang on to it!
