Drawing A Contacts List

Having identified who you are looking for in terms of types and numbers, go on to compile a list of people who are worth approaching, This list may be drawn from a variety of sources, as follows.

1) Will they be from outside your promoter/client's organisation? Should business associates, suppliers, sellers, intermediaries, important clients and others be there?

2)Are they aware of other people who should also attend? Other contacts such as friends and relatives are unlikely to be invited, but are they aware of others who could be ideal delegates in the circumstances?

3)Have you thought about the sponsors of your conference, if appropriate? Other firms involved with the conference: Perhaps those holding an exhibition alongside your event?Do you want their key personnel to attend? Could they supply you with a list of their clients?

4)Are there any other individuals or organisations to consider? The local tourist board may be able to suggest names to be added to your growing list of prospective delegates.
