About This Presentation

Slide 1 - Event Planning Easy guide to planning your event
Slide 2 - What is an "Event"? Events are large-scale activities put on by an Committee, Volunteers or contracted professional which require much larger-than-usual amounts of planning and money. While an organization might host regular events which are advertised via email to memberships or to which the public may be consistently invited, an "event" is an occasional activity put on by a Committee, Volunteers or contracted professional which will be extensively advertised to the public.
Slide 3 - Events could include Fundraiser for a specific reason (i.e.: fundraising to purchase new equipment or for a special project) Conference Festival or special presentation over a series of days
Slide 4 - Get Started Planning Your Event! What is the vision and purpose behind the event. What are some ways you can accomplish your goal? When is the best time to hold this event? How many people do you want to have attend? Where can you accommodate the number of people at the time you want to hold the event?
Slide 5 - Getting Started How much money will the event cost? How much money is available, and from where will it come? Are there sponsors that you can approach right away? What is the working budget? Develop your event budget with estimates to begin
Slide 6 - Framework for your Event Come up with an idea, vision, or set of goals for the event. Determine what is necessary to implement the vision and the budget required. Create your working committee Set up your working timeline Develop your meeting schedule
Slide 7 - Keep in Mind Special events are time consuming and require many dedicated volunteers. Volunteers may need to devote a great deal of time -- over a period of months -- to plan and carry out a successful event. Special events can also be expensive, especially if you don't have the support of sponsors or donors willing to provide materials and services. This is where your board of directors is a resource for your special event.
Slide 8 - First time? Some annual special events may require a few years to become firmly established. Don't be disappointed if your event isn't as well attended as you had hoped in its first year. If it was well planned and executed and if your volunteers were enthusiastic and committed, more people will take part next time.
Slide 9 - Continue with Timeline Template Use the timeline template as your guide for planning Keep in mind the variety of committees required for a successful event Don’t plan an event in two months – Event planning takes time Fundraising costs money Conferences cost money
Slide 10 - Committees There are many committees required to have a successful event
Slide 11 - Advisory Committee / Chairperson Advisory Committee provides contacts for sponsorships Manages overall direction of event Committees report to Advisory Advisory reports to Board of Directors of organization Chairperson lends name to sell tickets, recruit sponsors, provide profile to event
Slide 12 - Invitations and Hospitality Committee Give the Food Committee a preliminary estimate of how many people will attend. Working with the Chair to ensure invitations to guests are done Keep details on guest lists, where they are seated, guests of guests, special requirements Make sure you have adequate parking, handicapped access, restrooms, and a secure place for coats (don't forget hangers). Purchase or secure donations of first-aid kits, fire extinguishers, and cell phones. Make a list of emergency phone numbers to have on hand. Make name tags and site maps for workers and exhibitors. Tell the Decorations Committee how many tables will be needed. Recruit volunteers to be greeters and runners. Assign greeters to accompany celebrity guests. Ensure guests, keynote speakers, sponsors are greeted and managed through out the event
Slide 13 - Entertainment and Publicity Committee Plan activities and entertainment. Arrange for any necessary stage, sound, and audiovisual equipment. Develop a media contact list. Introduce yourself to contacts at local radio stations and newspapers and ask them to publicize your event. Radio stations may accept and broadcast public service announcements (PSA's) on your event at no cost. Usually one person at a radio station is in charge of PSA's. For each station, find out who that person is and work with him or her to arrange free air time. Most radio stations require groups wishing to broadcast PSA's to submit proof of their nonprofit status, a script of the 30-60 second announcement, and a statement about the importance of the message. Submit this information approximately 3-4 weeks before the event. Newspapers similarly set aside space to list community events at no charge. Find out who is in charge of these listings at your local paper and submit all necessary information to him or her.
Slide 14 - Entertainment and Publicity Prepare a press release -- a summary statement that contains all important information about your event, including when and where it will take place, the causes it will benefit, and how to get involved -- and send it to your media contacts at least 3 weeks before the event. At the same time, send contacts an "information kit" on your event that includes fliers, brochures, bookmarks, T-shirts, posters, and any other promotional items, a schedule of events, and a list of sponsors, exhibitors, and local celebrities participating in the event. Recruit an experienced photographer to take pictures at the event. Ensure this cost is in your budget Be available on the day of the event to meet and greet media representatives and answer their questions.
Slide 15 - Exhibits and Information Committee Follow up on invitations to exhibitors and verify who will attend. Send confirmation letters. Estimate the total number of exhibitors and determine space/table requirements. Be sure to include a display table for brochures and product giveaways. Recruit volunteers to help exhibitors unload, set up, and pack up materials. Develop event-day instructions for all volunteers, addressing such subjects as when to arrive, where to report, and how to deal with an emergency.
Slide 16 - Food and Decorations Committee Decide what type of decorations to use and where they will be placed. Map out where to set up exhibits, displays, food, entertainment, and registration. Pay attention to the location of electrical outlets. Working with your designer, make promotional signs, directional signs, and posters. If outside of a hotel environment; If serving refreshments, arrange for all required tables, tablecloths, chairs, napkins, cups, plates, and utensils for food, and recruit and organize volunteers to prepare and serve food. Arrange for the delivery and placement of tables, chairs, and other supplies needed for exhibits, awards, and other displays. Recruit volunteers for setup and cleanup. Arrange to have any unused food or drink delivered to a shelter or other facility in your area that accepts such donations.
Slide 17 - 36 to 40 Weeks Before the Event Decide who will chair the event. Recruit key volunteers, board members, staff and possible event contractor Decide whether to sponsor the event with a partner (that is, another group or organization in your community that would be willing to plan and host the event with you). Think about the possible resources and special skills that a partner would bring to your event and the type of publicity or special attention that a partner would generate. If your group decides to have a partner, consider selecting an honorary chairperson who may -- depending on his or her position and prior experience -- be able to generate added publicity and enthusiasm for your event.
Slide 18 - 36 – 40 Weeks Before Bring everyone together and answer the following questions: What are your goals? How will you measure success? When do you want to have your event? Will any other events conflict with your date? Do you have a rain date? Where will you hold your event? Is the place available? Consider seating, parking, accessibility for people with disabilities, transportation, and any permit that may be required. How much money will you need? How can you obtain donations? Do you need a fundraiser?
Slide 19 - 36 – 40 Weeks Continued Who will attend your event? How many people can you accommodate? How long will your event last? Who will serve on what committee? Typical committees include: workshops, entertainment and publicity, exhibits and information, food, decorations, and invitations and hospitality. Recruit volunteers for each committee and appoint committee chairpersons who have the time, energy, and commitment to do the work. Decide if tickets will be required for admission and, if so, how much they will cost, and where and when they will be sold.
Slide 20 - 24-36 Weeks Direct the committee to send invitations to groups or individuals who may want to attend your event. The personal invitation should include the purpose, date, time, and place of your event; who to contact for tickets Appoint a lead person to be in charge of publicity and drawing people (such as local TV and radio station personalities) to your event. This person should work closely with any honorary chairperson your group has selected. Meet with committee heads regularly, offer help when needed, and monitor their progress.
Slide 21 - 24 – 36 Weeks Review website Review speaker suggestions Finalize sponsor package and review sponsor suggestions Start pursuing/booking Keynote Speakers Begin booking session speakers Begin working with designer on conference program design Begin working with designer on conference website
Slide 22 - 12 – 16 Weeks prior Arrange for any required payment of contractors, such as AV, Hotel of choice, table and tent rental companies. Arrange schwag bags Begin selling tickets, if appropriate.
Slide 23 - One Week Before Send a copy of your press release and an information kit to every media contact. Call to confirm coverage of your event. Confirm all deliveries and pickups. Give the Food Committee a final count of how many people are expected to attend.
Slide 24 - One Day Before Pick up orders and arrange deliveries. Test audiovisual, sound, and other equipment. Review set up tables and decorations with hotel Do a final review to make sure all checklist items have been completed.
Slide 25 - EVENT DAY Complete decorations. Ensure hotel has all tables, stage, and audiovisual equipment completed Put first-aid kits, fire extinguishers, phones, and emergency phone numbers in locations that are readily accessible but out of the way. Tell volunteers where to find these items. Approximately 30 minutes before your event begins, brief volunteer greeters, helpers, and runners. Answer any questions and make sure everyone is ready to go. Thank all donors, volunteers, partners, media representatives, and celebrities. Relax and have a great event!
Slide 26 - AFTER Return all borrowed equipment and supplies Deliver unused food and beverages to the local shelter or facility that agreed to accept your donation. Send thank-you letters to all who helped make the event a success. Take notes about what you experienced, writing down what to do differently in the future and what went especially well. Meet with your committee chairpersons for a post event evaluation.
Slide 27 - Post Event Debrief One very good way to capture feedback while celebrating successes is to organize a post event debriefing. Attendance should be mandatory for committee chairpersons and important operational people and optional for all other volunteers. Make the debriefing a pleasant experience. Serve refreshments, welcome and thank everyone, and explain the process for the meeting. All staff and volunteers will share their ideas on the positive and the negative aspects of your special event.
Slide 28 - Post Event The best way to start evaluating your event is to reflect on your original goals. Did you plan an event and host it? Was it well attended? Did your community get involved? Be sure to include an evaluation step -- such as a survey for attendees or exhibitors to complete at the end of the event -- in your overall plan. Ask yourself what you can do better to reach your goals, to involve more people in your project, and to spread your message to a wider audience. Then, make adjustments to your activities to improve your special event.
Slide 29 - Post Event Debrief con’t At the start of your meeting, choose someone to write everyone's comments on a flip chart and appoint a record keeper who will take careful notes and type them later for distribution to the whole group. Ask everyone to take a few minutes and write two lists: what the group should continue doing when planning and hosting its next special event (and why); and what it should change (and how).
Slide 30 - Post Event Send thank you letters to chair, presenters, speakers and sponsors Review itemized bills from hotel and AV provider and send to Office for payment Compile evaluation results Create final expense budget. Submit to Steering Committee
Slide 31 - NEXT After ten months, the big event, the committees, the cost, the evaluations Are you going to do it again? Implement the recommendations from the evaluations and start again!
