Event Planning

Strategies for the Workplace

One way to think of the scope of a conference is on a continuum. Let’s think about this range through the example of a simple get-together and a wedding. At the easy end is, say, a modest party at your home. You need to worry about getting the word out, food, selecting music, and maybe arranging some games. Much more complicated is a wedding, where you may have to rent a venue that you must book in advance, there are invitations to print, a band to vet and book, a complex guest list to curate, seating arrangements to plan, an official to schedule, a photographer to select, a bar tender, drinks, and caterer to secure, wedding party outfits to purchase, a rehearsal dinner to plan, and importantly, a budget to work within.
