Planning an event is tough work, and if you have too many loose ends before the launch date, you can wind up with a severe headache. Thankfully, Comstock’s Magazine recently highlighted everything to consider during the planning process to avoid any problems.
Building your team
- Event planner: You might be planning a small office party or a major corporate event, but either way, the dedicated team at McVeigh Global Meetings and Events is here to iron out the details
- Graphic designer: You event materials need to look sharp, and an experienced graphic designer can turn your concept into a reality. Whether you need event badges, banners, or compelling PowerPoint slides, a graphic designer is your go-to professional.
- Orders coordinator: A designated orders coordinator is responsible for selling tickets and collecting RSVPs while tracking orders, refunds, and cancelations – everything you need to ensure attendees show up
- Speaker manager: Beyond booking and accommodating keynote speakers, a speaker manager usually deals with AV equipment and keeps track of the program schedule once the event kicks off
- Vendor coordinator: Does your event have a caterer and is there entertainment? Designating a point of contact for vendors can streamline the entire process
