Checklist For Planning For A Seminar Event


Are you planning a seminar or conference event?

If so what are the important things you should include in a checklist to ensure that everything runs according to plan and is executed properly on the day of the event itself?

Most event management companies would have an event management system as a tool in their arsenal to help them with the event planning stage.

This makes workflow much easier and organized.

Planning your checklist

Consider including some of these points in your event checklist which will help a great deal in your planning and using them as milestones in your event planning itinerary:

1. Establish the purpose of your seminar or conference event

This means knowing the objective of your event such as who is your target audience and participants, the topics of discussion in your event, the agenda of the seminar or conference and where is the best venue to hold the event.

You will need this information in your presentation as well so it will be appropriate to get it right from the start.

2. Event specification best practices

Maintaining a list of your contact information for host, suppliers, attendees and participants as well as your event profiles such as the date, time of the event, schedule of the agenda, venue confirmation and speaker itinerary.

The best and most organized way to keep track of all this is with an event management solution that can be customized to fit your requirements.

3. Detailed profiling of your event venue requirements

Itemizing your checklist for attendee profiles, allocation of space, food and beverage requirements, audio and visual equipment, and function or conference room setups including banners, signage and backdrop settings.

The more detailed your list the easier it would be for you to identify a good venue for the seminar or conference location.

4. Developing your seminar or conference event agenda

To be a successful event organizer, one thing you should make sure is to work closely with your host, venue management and speakers as there will be frequent changes along the way to the items in your event agenda prior to the actual event itself.

It is advisable to set an outline of your event agenda and be flexible to make changes as per requirement.

An event agenda should consist of the program in the seminar or conference, speaker times and topics as well as any other activities such as workshops and discussion groups.

 

Event Malaysia companies will find organizing event for seminars and conferences quite a challenge as some of the host or participants would have attended such events abroad and might even compare your event with others they have attended.

Therefore to keep updated with your service and ensuring that everything is in order and successful, investing in an event solution will help you do just that.
