FOLLOWING THROUGH

Reviewing the event:

Often, a conference is judged to be a success or a failure without any detailed assessment being carried out at all – typically, it is considered to be successful if participants seemed happy and satisfied, and unsuccessful if they did not. Clearly, this is inadequate – it is essential that an event is reviewed carefully and thoroughly so that more objective conclusions can be reached about its strengths, weaknesses and the consequences of staging it.

Should you analyse the early stages when you were planning to organise the conference?

How about the build-up to the event?

Should you evaluate the conference itself?
