How to organise meetings and conventions successfully and professionally

Personnel resources

Do you have sufficient personnel resources for the entire planning and preparation period?
For preparing a convention you need competent staff who have enough time to address the growing tasks:

• A convention secretary or project manager, supported by other staff members - depending on event size and preparation time
• Staff members who perform certain tasks without supervision (e.g. attendee registration and collection of fees, speaker support and abstract management)
• Many assistants at the event (one assistant per 30 to 50 attendees)
  

And don't forget all the tasks in the follow-up phase, which can last half a year or more.
