Abstract

Planning a large-scale conference is a massive amount of work and can be overwhelming - especially for those who do this on top of a day job.  It requires many late nights and weekends, budget worries, a roller coaster of emotions and a prolonged period of time when your loved ones, social life and free time must take a back seat.


It’s a huge responsibility - there’s no escaping that.  But, in this short keynote, Anika will show you how to quickly get organized. You’ll learn how to structure your team and how to keep them focused on the critical path activities.  Anika will show you how to make the most of the planning cycle and how to alleviate stress on the “BIG DAY.”

  • Selecting the best date
  • Selecting a theme and marketing strategy
  • Defining Event Measures of Success
  • Building your team
  • Creating and managing the Plan
