Step Three – Producing the Conference
To put the conference product in place you will to need to action the following:
Conference Budget:  This needs to be drawn up and must contain a revenue and expenditure section together with an actual column.  Always include a contingency figure, say 10% of the estimated total.
Programme:  Clearly identify you objectives so that both you and your speaker know what the conference is aiming to achieve and delegate expectations are met.
Marketing and PR plan:  You need to identify how are going to reach your target audience. Website will need to be designed or updated.
Event Schedule:  This is used to plot all the various activities that are talking place throughout the conference.
Step Four – Products and suppliers
Once you have produced you conference budget you can confirm your suppliers and product requirements:
Venue Finder:  Professional venue finders, who are experts on venues and offer an independent opinion are always a safe bet to use to ensure you select the right venue.  Your reputation is on the line if you chose the wrong venue!
Accommodation:  This may need to be placed on provisional hold if the conference venue cannot provide or has insufficient space.
Audio Visual equipment and production:  This is something either the venue can provide or you can source in-house.  Alternatively obtain up to quotes from conference / AV companies.
Catering, entertainment, transport, delegate bags etc:  Make sure you have thought of everything at this stage so that there are no surprises in the budget later on.
Marketing and PR plan:  You need to identify how are going to reach your target audience. Website will need to be designed or updated.
Event Schedule:  This is used to plot all the various activities that are talking place throughout the conference.
