While planning, you should always be thinking of how to make your event stand out. Your event or conference may cover similar topics to a number of others taking place in the same year so it’s important to really highlight the reasons delegates should attend yours.
How to make your event programme stand out
When planning your conference or event programme, think of ways that will involve your delegates, this could be by having multiple streams to appeal to more people or by including Keynote speakers who are well known and respected within your industry. Other things to think about could include encouraging your speakers to develop engaging slides or interactive elements for their sessions to really involve the audience, such as voting or time for questions. Asking your speakers to think about how they present their slides can also make them more inclusive and accessible.
Showcasing your conference or event
A great way to make your event stand out is to showcase all the exciting or innovative elements you have included. This could be interactive or workshop style sessions, engaging poster pods for abstract presenters, an exciting app for the event or even social events. Think of ways to make your event more interactive to encourage delegate registrations and showcase the networking opportunities you will have onsite.
Create engaging opportunities within your exhibition
Your exhibition is not just a chance for sponsors and exhibitors to showcase their products but also a great opportunity for delegates to learn about emerging technologies. Think about ways you can add things to your exhibition that will benefit both delegates and exhibitors. Encourage exhibitors to include interactive elements to their stands or offer delegate badge scanning as a way to connect delegates and exhibitors with one another. Adding benefits like this can benefit your financial income as well as make your event stand out to delegates looking to attend.
