Write an event briefing note and be realistic about timings
Site visit to the event venue Remember there is often a timescale for booking the venue, the further in advance of the event the better. Many venues have 'peak' and 'off-peak' times which will have cost implications depending on the time of year the booking is made. Location does matters
Identify the arrangement on facilities provided at the venue Audio visual, furniture, power and network point of service (a draft diagram of arrangement helps) Staffing assistance (catering, photographer, secretariat, security etc. ) Registration area, signage, emergency contact and procedure
MUST DO :Establishing the deadline into your event planning roadmap.
Things to consider when choosing a date: School holidays/public holiday/religious festivals; Similar events on the same topic (try to avoid competition) Internal work calendar (pick a period when there will be enough staff capacity to prepare for the event
