It’s time for your company’s next big event. Social media is an important tool to utilize not only for your event’s content but also for the content your attendees will create.

Below, we’ll outline a few steps and tools that you can use to make your event a step above your competitors.

We have a lot of expectations when it comes to our events. We tend to envision about an upcoming event. However, one must always be prepared for the unexpected, since uncertainty plays a huge role in the management of any event.

Events don’t happen in isolation. As the event management process unfolds, every individual meets other people who don’t see things the way you do. One of the essential aspects of an event manager is negotiation advancements. Such training helps you to manage your event successfully, especially regarding your interaction with sponsors, suppliers, and partners. Many successful event managers have undergone negotiation skills training and count what was learned as invaluable.

What’s one of the most important things an event manager should know? How to come up with effective ways to minimize uncertainty and maximize efficiency. For this, one needs to follow a three-step process. The first step is planning, the second is implementation, and the third is the evaluation. An event manager can eliminate uncertainty from the event in its entirety.

You should never underestimate the importance of a well-designed conference room. In order to realize why, you only need to stop for a moment to consider just some of its many functions. Here, you greet your clients so by achieving a sense of awe and grandeur while there, you might just be able to make a much better first impression. On the other hand, make a place too ornate and flashy and you’ll distract everyone from the topic at hand. This is particularly harmful to micro-events and office meetings, that an average office worker attends more than 60 each month.

Nonetheless, hosting a closed-door meeting is a simple matter that doesn’t require a conference room. An in-house conference, on the other hand, is a different thing altogether. That being said, here are several tips on how to design a conference room for a better even experience.

Back in the early days of the internet, one of the most common complaints that you could hear was that online interactions will render live events obsolete. As it turns out, these fears were largely unfounded – the event industry is in the best shape it has ever been. In fact, event organizers should appreciate the role the internet has played in creating the modern tech-savvy consumer, giving them the opportunity to utilize a host of new technologies in their events.

Each passing year brings with it a score of new tech trends, and 2018 is no different. As far as event planners are concerned, the two most interesting ones seem to be chatbots and AI. The main thing that chatbots have brought to the table is a new means for boosting audience engagement, whereas AI-based tech tends to shine in the domain of data analytics and marketing automation. To find out more on how these technologies are being leveraged for event planning purposes, take a look at the rest of our article below.

Sustainability is so much more than a huge buzzword at the moment. It also happens to be a topic that can sometimes be confusing on where/when to start implementing or take action. However, there are plenty of facts that illustrate the problems we are already facing that can serve as great guidelines or starting points.

Did you know that 1.3 billion tonnes of food is lost or wasted globally each year? Or that there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish by 2050? These facts are astonishing and the implications will come to surface in our lifetime. This has a drastic effect on our environment, the animals, and ecosystems that share it. Things need to change! Our throw-away society is seriously damaging the environment and it’s up to politicians, industries, companies, and individuals to drive change.

The events industry has recently launched a vision to become waste-free by 2020. This is a big task to face but something that can be achieved with small changes. Here we explain why sustainable conferences are important, and a few things you can implement when planning your conference to play your part in the change.

If you are chosen to be a conference organizer, you should take it as an opportunity to give back to the society. Not only do you get to prove your organizational skills, but also bring people together for an important conversation! In case networking is not your thing, conference planning should be a chance to share your talent with the guests.

Do you want to know how to plan an efficient and effective conference event? Where exactly should you start? Whether new to planning, changing industries, or simply looking to enhance your talent, use the following tips to excel at your upcoming event.
