The Way Ahead
Once you have chosen your event there are many areas that you must cover
to make it a success.
The keyword is PLANNING - allow plenty of time to look at the various
aspects of the challenge that lies before you.
Discuss with friends, colleagues, and management how easily the event
can be organised.
Do we have the people to make all parts of the project run smoothly?
Will the event cost us anything to get off the ground?
Arrange a date.
What resources do we need?
How do we publicise the event?
What can go wrong?
Can we get a celebrity? ( There are generally tame celeb's in your local
area, or people who may give their time)
Publicising the event
Your event must be well publicised if it is to be a success.
