So stay on top of things and always have a plan.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p>A successful and unforgettable conference doesn\u2019t just happen by coincidence. No matter the type of conference or when it\u2019s happening; success takes a lot of hard work and planning. And sometimes coordinating a conference is a dream come true. But other times, with all the logistics and moving pieces, it feels like a bad dream waiting to happen. Along the way I\u2019ve learn a thing or two about planning conferences. I have found we can easily become overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done. Too many tasks and not enough time to accomplish them. And it seems no matter how much time I spend at my desk things can still remain incomplete. And often key things get missed, neglected or totally overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to make your conference stick out and be noticed. Build it to be appealing, easy going, engrossing and above all fun. Bear in mind, when mulling over all those pieces needed to build a winning conference. Each and every conference as well as the attendees are one of a kind and unique. And with so many areas to consider when developing a successful program. But what isn\u2019t different is prior planning. Having a well thought-out plan that meets your attendee\u2019s needs is critical to success. Don\u2019t be afraid to have open and candid discussions about your conference; and give yourself plenty of time to have those conversations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Started_Making_your_Next_Conference_Successful\"><\/span>Get Started Making your Next Conference Successful<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking to organize a successful conference? From start to finish, first contact to the final thank you, it\u2019s essential to understand the nuts and bolts involved. It all begins with and ends with a plan. Start with the big stuff first. Recognize the assessable objectives and goals. Do your research. Create a blueprint. Establish a budget and checklist. Stay focused. Ask for help and organize your team. And always remember to multi task. Just to name a few. And in the end it\u2019s all about ensuring solutions and positive outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Things_you_dont_want_to_Forget_at_your_Next_Conference\"><\/span>7 Things you don\u2019t want to Forget at your Next Conference<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We reached out to our talented and skilled readers with today\u2019s question. What are the most important event planning essentials that shouldn\u2019t be missed? And once again they did not disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
