Event Planners Feeling Frazzled

Stressful under normal circumstances, event planning and execution gets more complicated as an event strategy expands.

Common areas where events managers look for help with event planning services:

talent-wrangling
Talent Wrangling: Reconciling internal and external schedules can be a nightmare for event planners, particularly when booking busy executives or in-demand presenters. Ensuring all speakers attend a dry run and are familiar with the technology takes patience, professionalism, and perseverance; it is an essential step no event planner can skip, regardless of how tempting it may be!
schedule-management
Schedule Management: Virtual and hybrid events have firm deadlines and an abundance of moving pieces. Making certain cut-offs are met for speaker bios and headshots, content presentations, supporting resource development, videos, surveys and polls all require precise planning and coordination as the number of planned events multiply.
schedule-management
Analytics: Leaders have seen a strong return on investment from virtual events, making them a focus for scaling. With clear, concise reporting and insights from the event data collected, event planners can easily provide executives the information required to make decisions regarding future event strategy and content development.

The Secret to Scaling Event Programs is EfficiencyAs the volume of virtual events increases, so does the need
to make them as efficient as possible.

Event templates take the cyclical work of selecting registration page layouts, adding company branding, and standardizing registrant emails for events off the event planner’s list, reducing setup time required for each and freeing them to focus on more critical tasks.

Plan Ahead

Map out the year’s events and prioritize them based on whether they are critical, important or nice to have. Focus on the critical events and allocate sufficient budget to them. On a quarterly basis, examine your important and nice to have events and allocate budget based on ROI.

Key components to supporting a strategy for scaling events include a dedicated virtual event program manager and technical staff. The efficiency achieved by tapping the experience of a team already familiar with their roles, the technology, and the previously-gained experience from past events reduce the need for re-training.

How to Make An Event Successful

There are four key elements to making any virtual event successful:

Knight
Event Strategy: A vital step for any event, a comprehensive event strategy is crucial when scaling events and event programs. Successful events require specific and tangible goals, a budget, timeline, key objectives of the events, and a clear communication plan. Clearly defining benchmarks and reports help guide the audience engagement needed to accomplish the organizational goals for your virtual events.
Clipboard
Event Planning: When planning events, questions that need answers include schedules, staffing needs, event duration, event format and presentation styles, inclusivity and accessibility, topics, speakers, and technology. The answers to these questions become the task list for a comprehensive plan and ultimately, a successful virtual event.
Person with Gear
Event Management: Event managers are responsible for managing schedules and deadlines for content, dry runs, materials, and event communications well before the event date. They are the go-to person for managing the event day-of, including answering questions, providing technical support and occasionally tasked with emceeing events as the host. Dedicated staff are needed to manage the virtual event independent of the presenters.
Magnifying Glass
Event Analysis: A thorough analysis of the data collected is an important piece of any future event’s success. Conducting timely reviews of attendee surveys provides insight into whether the event met the goals of the organization, and qualitative feedback can be used to help improve attendee experience going forward.
