STAGING REHEARSALS PROPERLY

Gathering everyone and everything together for rehearsals may seem to be nearly as complicated and time-consuming as doing it for the actual conference – but it is worthwhile if it allows you to avoid mishaps and mistakes which might otherwise damage or destroy your firm’s reputation if they occurred at the event. Various individuals and organisations may need to be coordinated for this.

1. Will all the speakers attend rehearsals?

2. What about delegates? Who will step in for them at rehearsals?

3. Are the rehearsals taking place at the conference venue?

4. How about your suppliers?

5. Will anyone be staying in the overnight accommodation before, during or after rehearsals?

It doesn’t end here. You should also know how to supervise activities and make last minute changes so that your event doesn’t get goofed up in the last minute.
