A plethora of overwhelming details will need to be addressed, make no mistake about that. Unless you are a seasoned event planner who knows the ins and outs of putting on a sizable business convention, it might behoove you to contract professionals to handle all the logistics. Fortunately, representatives of companies like marcus evans do this kind of thing for a living. The kinds of things a business event consultant might handle can include everything from securing a venue to marketing the event to providing hospitality.

Production of a large-scale event will likely require a global-oriented team of personnel with a vast network of resources. A seasoned and well-connected agency might help you by
-finding a venue, acquiring permits/handling paperwork, ordering supplies, arranging equipment rentals, establishing a ticket-purchasing system, etc. These and other major logistical actions should fall into place smoothly and efficiently.
- composing an activity agenda that features a variety of networking opportunities, resource booths and seminars on topics of interest to business executives and key decision makers. A successful conference will meet the needs of those looking to educate and spread new information in their field, network and acquire new leads, and drive their competitive edge towards sustainable growth in their industry.
-putting together a conference agenda in which speakers are scheduled purposefully. In a dynamic series of speakers, each speech should pivot right off the one before it in a way that is relevant and meaningful to the audience. The speakers should provide content that is newsworthy to the industry and relevant to event themes. Keynote speakers should compel and inspire and all other speaker slots should echo that excitement.

Other, smaller-scale, but equally critical details typically include
-having a Plan B in case of problems or emergencies like flight delays, illnesses, or the need for a last-minute change of venue.
-handling speaker contracts, transportation reimbursement, per diems/stipends, accommodations, etc.
-arranging for hosts to meet speakers at the airport, help them get settled, etc.
-making sure speakers are aware of time constraints and the need to allow time for questions.

You might choose to go it alone when planning a business conference if you have the resources. Otherwise, you might opt to minimize stress and risk by working with a company such as marcus evans that specializes in the planning and production of large-scale business events. There is so much to be considered in terms of planning, marketing, logistics and provisions that it can be a nearly impossible undertaking for a novice event planner, particularly one who already has their hands full.

So this girl would stare at me and would flirt all the time. She flirted with other men too so I didn’t take it to mean much.

She kept inviting me to happy hours and such. I would go but leave early because of said reason. She kept trying to get my attention and when I ignored her she got mad.

I wasn’t very happy in my current relationship, so I asked her out with me and we went out to a bar.

I asked her out again, and she didn’t answer and just started acting uncomfortable around me, so I ignored her again, but then she got pissed.

She invited me to another happy hour, and I went, and then she invited me to a float trip she was planning. I said I might be interested, but decided I wasn’t and told her.

After I told her, we ran into each other in the parking garage and it was raining. She held the umbrella over my head and then jerked away leaving me standing in the rain.

I tried to talk to her, but she denied that there was anything wrong. I told her I was leaving the firm and sorry I wasn’t interested in her group activities, and she got REALLY mad.

At my going away party, she acted like everything was cool but then when she was leaving she jerked away again without saying goodbye, and that was the last time I saw her.

What the hell happened?

Where should I start?

I have alot of applicable skills……management experience, event/program planning, proposal writing, research, fundraising, marketing…….. I know where to get grants/loans….I can secure income for several months until my self employment income kick in………….

BUT I JUST CANT THINK OF A NEED THAT NEEDS FILLING…….I think that even if I could get suggestions of ideas that other people have already tried it would help me think of my own unique idea

It is extremly difficult to research this on the internet due to thousands of webpages that are the “get rich work from home at your computer” scam………… I am talking about a REAL offline business ( I plan on tapping into the online market too…but right now Im looking for something in the real world)

Ideas? Resources to help me research? …….
