Walk-throughs before Your Next Event



Incepted in the year 1992, Plan Ahead Events is a premiere event marketing company, providing a wide range of services to ensure that every campaign, event, or meeting is a complete success. 

Event planning is not rocket science, but it does require good planning and constant attention to detail. If everything goes well, it will make your event a perfect talk of the town event, on the other hand if something goes awry, it’s a public display of failure. A great way to mitigate these problems and issues is doing a last minute walk-through of your event prior to its start. Here are a few things that you should keep in mind while completing the walk-through of your event.

·        Create an Event Bible
It is always good toput together a simple binder with all of your vendor contracts, extra copies of the floor plan, and a cheat sheet of contact information for easy reference in order to avoid last minute stress.

·        Do a mental walk before the actual walkthrough
Before the actual walkthrough, mentally walk through every minute detail of the event, from set-up to break down. You’ll be surprised how many last minute tasks you catch. To make your task simpler you may consider hiring a good corporate meeting planner.

·        Have onsite support systems in place
Having expert technicians in the room will allow any problem to be handled effectively and efficiently. The key is to have a communication process to solve issues quickly and with minimum session disruption. It is always a good idea to have back up equipment and supplies onsite, in case of equipment failure. 

·        Consider what might go wrong
Make a list of different scenarios, how things could go wrong and what you would do to handle them. Doing this can save you from last minute embarrassment. 

·        Necessary materials should be in place
Carry a list with you and make sure that all the necessary things are in place at least a day before the event.

·        Send Reminders
If you have already sent reminders to people, send them out again the day before to confirm their attendance.

·        Other important things to remember
Some other things that you should keep in mind are:
1.     Bring extra of everything.
2.     Have volunteers on hand.
3.     Make sure your people are prepared to handle politely hot headed people.
4.     Create a detailed list backtracking every task that needs to happen.
5.     Most important. Keep calm and relaxed.
