A trio of tips: Part 3 It's the Day of....

  1. To help you plan events
  2. How tos for event promos
  3. Day of checklists
Make a checklist so nothing falls off your radar. 
Get in touch with your speakers the day before to confirm times of arrival, and reassure yourself that everything is on track. Stay calm, and organized, no matter the last-minute challenges.

Close registration early enough so you can prepare name tags, know how many to expect -- adding plus/minus 10% for no-shows and show-ups. Notify your host, and their security desk. Make adjustments with the venue for food and beverage needs. Note to self: under order; there will always be enough if you figure on a 5% reduced food order.

Have lists ready for event staff or volunteers. Be sure there are blank name tags for changes to the attendee roster or new at door registrants.

Check in with staff and volunteers to be sure they are prepared for the event.  See tip 2 here.
