One of the toughest things you might be asked to do on behalf of your company is to organise a conference. Your conference might be small or large, niche or fairly broad in its scope, but there are certain generalisations we can make about how it should go off.
Obviously you need to think about facilities. The ideal facilities will tick a few boxes, they will be easy to access, have sufficient capacity and have all the technology you need, for instance projectors, internet access etc.
This is just the tip of the ice berg. The other side of the coin is the people. It might seem like an obvious point to make but it’s the people that make a conference or corporate event. You should start compiling that e-mail list as soon as you can, who are you going to invite to speak and how will you market the conference?
Some names might be bigger than others. Being able to attract huge names to your conference kills a few birds, for example it will help you to market your event.
A possible way to save money when organising your conference is to attract the attention of sponsors. If you’re conference is large enough they may be prepared to pay for part of your event in return for some advertising.
