On Nov 6th & 7th, 2010... I organized a speechcraft workshop and invited 6 speakers.
Though the workshop was successful, we spent lots of time on the followings:
1) e-mailing and asking for information on speakers
2) arranging speakers slots and agenda
3) confirming speakers availability
4) printing material in the wrong order resulted in sorting materials
5) getting projectors from 3 different sources
6) testing projectors
7) finding the venue
8) petty stuff such as cables, finding binders, cover page of the binders,
9) promotion on eventbrite.com
10)drafting the agenda several times
11) selection of videos since speakers are not familiar with the content
12) e-mailing on slides etc
13) video camera (flip)
14) arranging for food
15) registration name list
16) sweets and water on the table
17) vegetarian meals, meats, snacks and juices
18) knowing the lighting switch in the room
19) bringing extra cable, extra laptop, extra camera, extra participants binder, extra speakers, microphone
20) ensure air-condition turn perfectly suitable for learning
21) helpers (registration table, camera, microphone)
22) material shown by speakers to test them
23) notes/handout by the speakers (when to hand out to participants)
24) commitment statement to be included in the binder
The above is a good checklist of what you should do if you ever organized an event.
Cheers,
Kian
