Easing Delegates Into The Event
Summary:
For Geri Hunter, attending a major conference in a bustling city like London was always a nerve-racking experience. Despite her anxiety, she recognized the immense value of networking and staying updated with industry trends. Recent terrorist bombings only heightened her worries.
Successfully managing delegates’ expectations is crucial because you can't predict their mindset before the event begins. Therefore, presenters need to frame the opening words effectively to align the audience with the event's purpose, covering essential aspects such as:
- Who is organizing the event?
- Why was it organized?
- What should delegates expect?
- How will the event proceed?
- Where in the venue will activities take place?
- When will key activities and breaks occur?
A well-rehearsed, upbeat welcome speech can set a positive tone for the day and capture the audience’s attention.
Safety and Comfort:
As event organizers, ensuring the audience's safety and comfort is paramount. Clearly explain evacuation procedures for emergencies like fire or flood and ensure all attendees are accounted for. Begin the event by providing information about smoking areas, restrooms, and identifying a staff member as a point of contact for any queries.
Be mindful of the room temperature. Venues may start the day with a lower temperature, knowing it will naturally rise. Acknowledge this to the audience and encourage them to communicate if the temperature becomes uncomfortable. Explain that the organizers may not feel the temperature change as they move around, asking, “Please let us know if it’s too cold or hot.”
Timekeeping and Flexibility:
As the event progresses, you might find that the initial schedule was too ambitious. If the presentations are running over time, be transparent with the audience?"they likely already notice it. Maintain the scheduled break times to ensure energy levels stay high. Breaks are crucial for refreshments, and the venue staff prepares for them at specific times. Altering break timings can be more disruptive than adjusting event content. Use breaks to discuss with attendees which topics might be shortened or covered in a different way.
Above all, remain flexible in your event management and be ready to adapt presentations throughout the day as needed.
By effectively managing these aspects, you will create a more enjoyable and productive event experience for everyone involved.
