New 4th Edition - Completely updated 2010
Are you organising the programme for a conference or seminar? If you've not had a lot of experience at organising seminar or conference programmes before it can seem daunting. There are so many details to take care of and so much at stake. Let this book make it much easier for you. Find out what you need to know now, before it's too late.
Conferences and seminars cost a lot of money, time and effort to put on and organise. So why throw your money and sanity away by making errors in your conference or seminar programming that could have been avoided?
To organise a truly brilliant conference or seminar requires you to understand all the elements of a superb conference or seminar programme. Organisers often focus on some aspects of the programme really well but then fail to implement or consider other vital aspects. And then they find that their attendees complain, or that the outcomes haven’t been achieved, or that everything runs overtime. Don’t let this happen to you.
For a minuscule amount from your conference or seminar budget, you can find out what the mistakes are and how to avoid them. It could save you much time, effort and embarrassment - and increase your chance of success.
One of the biggest problems with conference and seminar programmes is that they run over time, and everyone gets irritated by that: the audience, the presenters, the caterers, the sponsors and the organisers. Seven fatal mistakes organisers make will show you how to stop your programme running over time. Learn the steps to get the timing perfect.
