TIMELINEThese are general guidelines to keep in mind concerning what needs to be done and when. you may be on a tighter deadline, or have luxurious amounts of time (lucky!). Generally, you should start planning three months in advance so your attendees can arrange their schedule, speakers can begin to prepare their presentations, and you can relax a bit. Ever program is different, so adapt this timeline as needed.

WRAP UPSit down with Hotel Meetings Representative to review all your sessions and your charges. Be sure to praise the performance of staff who have provided exceptional service. consider circulating a survey or a feedback form to attendees to assess success of event and areas of improvement for next time. Pat yourself on the back: nice job!
