Improve Your Next Conference – 5 Really Easy Tips

Tips to make your delegates conference experience easier and dramatically improve networking.

Today’s blog post is written by Kevin Newman who organises BrightonSEO.com conferences as posted in Event Managers Blog. You will love these tips – they just make sense!!

Improve the Usability of Your Name Badges.

Why do you give people name badges at events? It’s probably to make sure you’ve got no freeloaders.
Why are they useful to attendees? To help them remember the name of someone they’ve forgotten or to spot people they’d like to speak to. Yet the badges at most events are tiny, with minuscule fonts that might be on brand but are a nightmare to read at distance.

We take a different approach, that seems to work well for us.
Our badges are huge. A double sided sheet of A6. We do get comments about how huge they are, but making them bigger makes it much easier for them to be useful.
We also use the font Blue Highway. This is not one of our brand fonts. It’s a free font based upon the fonts used on American road signs. That means it’s designed to be clearly read from a distance.
If you can’t read the name of the attendee from 20ft away, we have failed on our badge designs.
Also think about what extra information you could put on the badge with the extra space a bigger badge allows. In the past we’ve included Twitter handles. Sometimes people are more familiar with people’s names on Twitter than their ‘real name’.
Though don’t be afraid to exclude things, on badges whitespace is your friend!

Programme More breaks.

I’ve struggled with this one over the years. I’ve always wanted to cram as much content into a conference as I can, so I was always nibbling away at the breaks.
Then I had a proper read through our feedback. I got the message that the opportunity to network was one of the main reasons people attended our events. So we made more time for exactly that.
Having healthy breaks does mean when a speaker inevitably runs over time, there is still plenty of time for attendees to stock up on caffeine, fresh air and industry gossip.

Arrange More Power Sockets
You can spot who the conference veteran is. They are the first person in the auditorium scoping out the seat nearest a power socket. They will even get charging early in the day to ensure their fully juiced for the whole day.
The reality is at most events your audience will be spending time on their mobile, tablet and/or phone. They will want power to keep them charged.
You can never have enough power sockets at a conference.
Use this opportunity. There are some great off the shelf charging solutions and it’s a great thing to get sponsored or branded. Chargebar is a great service where charging stations can be rented. It becomes the centre for connecting and like the “watering hole” of the conference. Chargers are the most forgotten item at a conference, if you are providing a solution to someones panic of almost running out of juice on their phone or notebook, then you are a saviour.

Send out a ‘What to Expect’ Email

Early on in my conference organising days it amazed me the number of emails I used to get about dress codes. I was organising marketing conferences not gala dinners. It’s one of the things people legitimately get concerned about in the run up to events.
One way to fight this anxiety in your delegates is to send round a ‘What to expect email’ a few days before the event. Talk about dress codes, what types of food and drink are going to be available, whether there will be wi-fi etc.
Think about every small question your attendees have asked ahead of your events. Turn then into a helpful piece of communication. You’ll save your attendees a lot of mental energy fretting.

Schedule Tweets to Pre-empt Problems
There are certain problems we know we are going to have at our events. People arrive early, they can’t find the wifi password, their running out of battery and are looking for a charger.
We know to expect these things so ahead of an event we schedule tweets covering exactly these issues.
It leaves us the time to concentrate on other things on the day but allows people on the back-channel to answer their own questions. You’ll also find other attendees retweeting these ‘Public Service Announcements’. Spreading the message for you.

In Conclusion.
A successful event is all about the details.
These are just a few of the things that have helped make our events more successful. Useful badges, more networking time that you might expect, extensive power sockets, allaying people’s fears with a what to expect email and pre-scheduling tweets to pre-empt problems.

You probably do lots of your own, I hope these tweaks will help you run your event better.

Google Opens a Conference Centre – Dublin’s hottest new venue

On 2 October, 2013 by Ciara Feely Comments (0), leave your own!
Categories: Conference Hotels, Conference Planning, Conference Venues, Dublin Conference Facilities, Venue Reviews

Google opened a hot new venue in Dublin just a few weeks ago. The Foundry – A Conference Centre designed to inspire, communicate and help companies build their business community. They went for a “Posh Garage” look – exposed ceilings, funky design, splashes of colour. Who was the first conference client to experience it – Ikea!

“It is a digital, conference centre and networking place to bring together the best people, share best practice and help super charge the economy” as described by John Herlihy, Head of Google Ireland. There is a Google Hang out room (Hang out on Air), for companies to hang out with and talk to their customers. Lots of fun gadgets and even a shopping experience. At long last, a space to inspire thought and innovation as a conference centre. Can’t wait to see it for myself. A tour is in the works for my next visit to Dublin. I have 3 clients it will suit perfectly for 2014 and 2015 conference venue enquiries.

Auditorium style it can fit 360 conference delegates.

How to Determine if a Venue can Provide Good Event Wi-Fi for Your Next Event

Ensuring the Wi-Fi is strong enough at your Conference Venue to allow for streaming and multiple delegates online at the same time is the smartest way to Market your event. It is also the smartest way for the Hotel to market itself… let the magic of social media multiply the power of your marketing budget.

This is a great article by Corbin Ball, Technology Expert in the Meetings Industry.

In today’s world almost no event can be successful without the aid of Wi-Fi and other technology. And Wi-Fi networks at events and tradeshows are becoming more and more crowded as attendees use an ever greater number of Wi-Fi enabled devices including smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

Bottom line, Wi-Fi is no longer an optional perk you may or may not offer. It’s a must.

And as the number of wireless devices grows exponentially, so do the expectations of your attendees. Poor Wi-Fi can do more than create a bad user experience; it can cause attendees to leave in order to find a better connection, or even keep them from attending the event at all if they think their productivity will be limited. Bad WiFi can also ruin a key talk and ruin exhibitor interaction – along with your reputation.

Because every venue has its own unique characteristics, and every event has attendees with varying needs, there is no simple formula you can use to ensure a great event Wi-Fi experience.

Unfortunately, many event organizers do not have the technical background or skill set to truly determine whether or not a vendor has the ability and capacity to provide the needed Wi-Fi for any particular event. Which means hiring an expert during the event planning phase is easily worth the investment when that expert can help ensure a great user experience and smooth running talks and presentations.

Beyond knowing the needs of your attendees, creating a positive Wi-Fi experience begins with being able to ask the right questions. The following questions give you a non-tech heavy approach to trying to determine if a potential venue will be able to provide you with the proper Wi-Fi for your event’s needs. These questions are effective whether you’re interviewing a potential venue, a Wi-Fi company, or a Wi-Fi consultant.

Step 1:
Ask these 20 essential questions:

1. Have they done similar events?
2. How many people attended those events?
3. Were attendees using multiple devices?
4. How much dedicated bandwidth will be available to your group?
5. Will Wi-Fi be available 24/7?
6. Will there be a qualified technician on site, who you can easily reach, during the entire event?
7. Will Wi-Fi be available in hotel rooms and conference rooms or just conference rooms?
8. What is the capacity in each of the rooms?
9. What is the minimum signal in each room?
10. Will the network be actively managed during the event?
11. What is the backup plan in case things go wrong?
12. How will they deal with any outages?
13. Where are the access points?
14. Is the Wi-Fi coverage consistent in all areas or are there weak areas of connectivity?
15. Can you provide hard lines for each of the meeting rooms for speaker needs?
16. Can you separate Wi-Fi for rooms or for different groups?
17. Can we bring in a tech from an outside AV company as an additional resource?
18. Will we be allowed to have access to the site prior to our event?
19. What type of Wi-Fi security is in place?
20. Does the bandwidth provide the same uploading and downloading speed?

If you are satisfied with the answers to those questions and the information leads you to believe their system or expertise fits with your needs, then go to Step 2.

Step 2:
Ask for reports from previous similar events. They should be able to provide reports on previous events which include bandwidth, numbers of users, and any problems that were encountered. Make sure the reports are from events that are similar in scope and attendance to what your event will be.

Step 3:
Ask for references from similar events that they handled. Actually call the references to get their perspective and ask a few questions about how easy or difficult the staff is to deal with and if the venue fulfilled everything they said they would.

As an event coordinator or planner, keep in mind that Wi-Fi is something you can negotiate and you should do so up front which means it cannot be an afterthought.

The upside? Well planned and implemented Event Wi-Fi means that attendees can live stream and blog about your event, right then and there; Media can quickly and easily get their stories out; and product announcements can go viral in real time.

All of that adds up to a powerful buzz-factor which becomes the most positive type of marketing and hype for your event.

How to Effectively Analyse your Conference – post event surveys…

Top 10 Conference Survey Questions……..

This comprehensive list is taken from a post on LinkedIn, started by Wendy Sullivan – NABC Planner at American Contract Bridge League. She asked a question and got 66 comments back with some great suggestions from Conference and Event planners worldwide.

Here is the Top 10;

1. Create a pre-event survey to better understand the goals of your attendees, and then follow up with a post-event survey to see if they accomplished those goals.
2. What was the best part of the Conference?
3. Why was this event successful for you?
4. Is there anything we could have done better?
5. How was the Staff/Food/Location (rating 1-10)?
6. Would you refer us to a friend or colleague?

Ask all of the above with a why section so delegates can elaborate more and you can evaluate the information.

7. Did the technology used at the event enhance, take away from, or make your participation more enjoyable? If you didn’t use technology, ask for suggestions on what they would recommend.
8. Ask for the feedback once participants are back at work. By waiting a couple of days you receive much longer, insightful and interesting feedback. I put this down to attendees rushing off at the end of an event but having the time back at work to be more considered. Our ’scores’ remained consistent but the open questions elicited much more comprehensive answers.
9. Capture video testimonials post-event before people walk away from the event. Not only does it create excellent marketing material, but it captures the immediate “wow” factor.
10. Was the conference a good opportunity to Network?? (a recent report shows 80% of the reasons delegates go to conferences is to Network). Rating this question 1-10.

There are lots more suggestions so I will post them at another date.

3 Smart, innovative conference hotel experience ideas

3 great ideas that create a wonderful sense of arrival for any conference hotel to deliver….

I discovered a great article on luxury hotel innovations written by Coyle Hospitality that enhance the guest experience. These would really be fantastic for any conference goer and make a conference organiser’s life a lot easier too.

1 – This is my favourite one — ipads supplied for each guest. The Plaza Hotel in New York have enhanced their guests experience by offering each guest an iPad from which they can do just about everything they need while staying at the hotel, including control the temperature in their room, order room service, make restaurant reservations, communicate with the concierge, request wake-up calls, explore NYC destination guides, and even check airline schedules and print boarding passes. How great would it be then to pre-load the ipads with the conference agenda, list of delegates, apps to network with, articles on the conference speakers, the conference organisers contact information, things to do in the area and a feedback on the conference app.

2 – Good bye to the front desk(This one I just love too as it is my pet peeve checking in at hotels) — Arriving guests are met by roving hosts, who sit down with them, offer a free glass of wine or coffee, and complete the check in process on a tablet computer (or iPad). It is soooo welcoming and sets a relaxed tone for the stay.

This I would just love for a conference experience as networking would be made so much easier, conference delegates generally arrive around the same time so this would kick off networking straight away. I find the “Front desk” just places a barrier between the guest and the hotelier, the most welcoming guest houses don’t have them, why should hotels? The new Hyatt brand – Andaz has this “welcome” as standard and more and more luxury boutique hotels are moving towards this also.

3 – This is niche within a niche – introducing hypo-allergenic rooms. This has been introduced by Hyatt Each “Respire” room gets a one-time shock treatment to minimize irritants, hypo-allergenic mattress and pillow cases, a powerful air purifier that’s listed as a medical device by the FDA, and other treatments that eliminate allergens on carpets and upholstery. – The number of asthma sufferers is projected to hit 400 million by 2025, so this may no longer be niche, just necessary.

How to Network Effectively at a Conference…

Simple, easy tips on how to make your time pay at a conference – make networking work!

Networking is the number one reason delegates attend a conference! It is a perfect opportunity to meet the movers and shakers in your industry. While networking online has become very important and popular in the last few years, nothing can beat meeting people face to face. It is an opportunity to start, build and strengthen business relationships. Conference hotels and the conference venue can very much enhance the networking experience, depending on how they are set up.

Here are some tips on how to make networking at a conference profitable!
1. Research the conference speakers before hand and connect with them. They will be happy to know their talk is eagerly anticpated. Email them – ask them can you say hello before hand. Connect with them on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook – whatever is their preferred medium. Tweet about them and the event. They may also mention/refer to you in their talk.
2. Introduce yourself to the speakers at the beginning of the conference and sit up the front.
3. Ask the organisers for a list of attendees and link with them, you can identify who you really want to speak with and connect with them before the event. Make a few appointments.
4. Always ask a great question at the conference – introduce yourself and your business and ask an intelligent, relevant question. Everyone will know you after that and it is easier for people to approach you.
5. Watch who the conference speakers are talking to and ensure you get to meet them.
6. Listen – it is the most important element of networking. Be interested! They will open up to you more if you seem interested in them.
7. Have open ended questions prepared to ask that can also lead around to your business – “what projects are you working on at the moment?” “ Who is a great connection for you and why?” And my favourite is “how can I help you?”
8. Be ready to get to the point quickly about your business – have the answers to the above questions prepared yourself.
9. SMILE! Make eye contact; Be approachable, wear a name tag very prominently – on the right shoulder, always talk to someone who looks more shy than you and not talking to anyone else. Act like a host rather than a guest.

10. Follow up!! Do what you say you would do, send a relevant article to anyone you spoke to about a certain topic. Those you said you would contact to have a futher meeting with – call them within 72 hours.

How to Plan a conference – top tips on how to organise a great conference…

On 29 March, 2013 by Ciara Feely Comments (0), leave your own!
Categories: Conference Planning, Conference Venue Tips

Step by step guide to planning a conference, budget, venue and conference promotion tips...

12 months Before –
1. Set up a committee and delegate. Decide who is responsible for –
# Developing the conference programme;
# Inviting and managing keynote speakers and VIPs;
# Fundraising and dealing with sponsors;
# Financial accounting;
# Venue Selection, local arrangements;
# Conference website promotion.

Answer the following questions as the answers will dictate the right venue, speakers and format –
• • What is the conference aiming to achieve? What as an organisation are you trying to achieve by hosting this event?
• • Who are you trying to impact? Define your target audience in terms of delegates and sponsors?
• • How do you define success?

If the conference was run last year by someone else, check with the organiser. Read through feedback from last year’s conference and act on it.

2. Establish Conference Title, Theme and Topics
3. Decide on length and pattern of the conference – dates, workshop space, is there an exhibition? etc and contact suitable venues.
4. Chose a venue — Fridays are big wedding days and a lot of hotels in Ireland are sold out. Best conference days are Monday to Thursday. Wednesdays may work out to be more expensive as a hotel will consider the fact that they might lose out on being able to take a Tuesday/Wednesday or Wednesday/Thursday conference if they take a one day conference on a Wednesday. For tips on how to negotiate with a conference venue read this article
5. Establish a budget for the conference – for more tips on organising a conference on a shoe string budget read this article. and this one that has some great ideas from conference organisers around the country.
6. Develop a business plan for the conference – what is the objective and most important outcome and work backwards. Ensure all of the committee are working on this.
7. Investigate conference technology to make life a lot easier and help promote the conference. There are more details in this article on apps and conference technology – we highly recommend http://www.exordo.com/ to use as a tool for an academic conference in particular one with conference submissions, abstracts and papers. It will save up to 5 days! They also have an excel version of this conference check list to download for free, it is at the very bottom of the home page.
8. Have the conference website or page for the conference created. Exordo.com can also help with this. Pathable.com is also a wonderful conference tool to use for promotion and engaging with delegates before, during and after the conference.
9. File for funding for the conference – there are a number of options to help fund an international conference in Ireland. The Gathering initiative funds up to about €2000 if up to 50 delegates are attending from outside Ireland.

Measuring and proving the return Conferences and Events deliver….

Conference and meeting organisers are under even more pressure to be more strategic when organising meetings and events and measure accurately the results and contributions made to a company or organisation.  72% of the meeting planners surveyed by the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International, cited this need.  70% of companies recently said that “online traffic” is an important measure of the value of their events”.

Mobile Apps in the conference and events business are already quite advanced and extensively used, but the next 2 years will see a large increase in their use “on the job”.  According to MPIs recent Future Watch survey, 80% of meeting professionals are using smart phones   and other mobile devices in their jobs. Yet, with this high adoption, relatively few have used mobile applications yet for their own meetings.  This is where measuring “online traffic” around an event is made easy.

Pathable.com is a meeting specific  app that have gained great credence in the last few years, but the major social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are a valuable marketing and  branding tools to use in events.  Location based apps such as Foursquare, Gowalla and Facebook Places are all excellent mediums as networking channels before, during and after events.  It is all about making it easy for delegates to make great contacts at events.

Corbin Ball has written an extensive article on “The Business Value of Mobile Apps for Meetings”.

Galway Arts Festival Fringe Events and Planning Tips

On 19 July, 2011 by Ciara Feely Comments (0), leave your own!
Categories: Event Reviews, Festival Planning Tips, Festivals, Incentive Trip Ideas, Team Building Ideas

As a Galway native I always enjoy a visit home and Galway city was at its vibrant best last weekend with the Galway Arts Festival in full flight. With such a large and diverse programme of festival events coupled with all the fringe events that take place in the city during the festival the biggest problem I faced was where to go and what to see!

Festivals such as the Galway Arts Featival are vital to the economy of a city and region. It is estimated that the festival generates revenue of €20 million for the region.  Galway Hotels are full, restaurants are packed and shops, bars, street traders, taxis all have an opportunity to avail of the extra income being spent. I thought to myself it would also be a fantastic time for an incentive group to head to Galway and avail of the plethora of Irish artists and performers.  Galway is such a great city to walk around that you can’t go more than a few short steps before there are more examples of the talent that Ireland is producing at the moment. The Venue Finder at FindaConferenceVenue.com – Ciara Feely is currently trying to secure a group of TV producers from the US who travel to different Art and Film Festivals around the world – they attend some of the more famous festivals such as Cannes.  However,Irish Festivals would offer a fresh and unique experience for corporate and incentive groups while providing world class entertainment.

The Galway Arts Festival provides the perfect forum for new and up and coming artists to get their name out there to a much bigger audience than they would normally have access to. The smart bands, performers and artists perform in Galway during the arts festival and while it might not be part of the official programme, with the right advertisement they can attract a large audience as the city is full to capacity with visitors who all want to see a good show!

Intinn and Rootical Sound System -2 Galway acts- held one such fringe event on Saturday. I decided that in lieu of any real sunshine I would up my feel good vibes by dancing the night away to some great home grown Reggae. Intinn a brilliant Celtic Dub band took to the stage at 21 Eglinton Street playing their unique mix of conscious Reggae and Drum & Bass. They had amazing energy and quickly had everyone dancing. Their harp player Catriona Cannon adds a beautiful element to the bands look and sound. It’s great to see a traditional Irish instrument in such a contemporary setting. Intinn were followed by Rootical Sound System who provided the perfect sound track to keep the party going into the early hours.

Tips for marketing yourself at a festival –

My tips for bands, artists or performers looking to make a name for themselves on the festival circuit.

  • Make a wish list of all the festivals you would like to perform at.
  • Make contact early – many festivals start planning the following year’s festival as soon as the current year’s festival is over – if the festival is on in July your application may well need to be in the previous October or November so get organised.
  • Be willing to work for free – many festivals do not pay new or unknown performers – instead providing free passes to events and of course invaluable free advertisement and access to a much wider audience than you would normally have.
  • Put on a free or budget friendly priced show – If your application is unsuccessful then try and book yourself a gig in a venue that is adjacent to the main festival hub – many people will not be able to get tickets to the main events or perhaps can’t afford a large ticket fee so would be only delighted to attend your show instead of the main event.
  • Get creative with your advertisement – there are all sorts of free social media available so make sure you have a Facebook page, MySpace page, blog and Twitter account and advertise your show to the masses without spending a penny.
