5 Event Questions to Consider for 2012
2011 is rapidly drawing to a close…have you started thinking about, or even working on, your 2012 events?
This week, we will focus on planning ahead. Below are a handful of questions that you should consider when sizing up future events.
1. Budget
Before getting started, what is your overall budget? Make sure to know exactly what you are working with before even looking. This will help you realistically assess all aspects of your event.
2. Site Planning and Lodging
Where will you be hosting your event? What do you need from your facility (staffing, equipment rental, etc)? Do you need lodging for your event?
3. Attendees
How many people are you expecting? How many are local vs. non local? Do you need transportation? Do you have specific dietary needs that need to be accounted for?
4. Registration
How robust of a system do you need? Do you need to have multiple types of registration? Do you need different types of pricing levels, like early bird or late registration? Will you have groups? Do you need surveys?
5. On site Needs
Do you have a process for onsite check-in? How will confirmation work? Do you need to print badges? Do you need extra staff on hand to help?
These may seem like a lot of questions, but they are just a few of the many things to consider for your events. RegOnline can help you with online registration forms, event websites, surveys, attendee management, on site needs and more.
