We’ve all been there…boring meetings that is. No matter where you happen to be in the business world, we have all had the misfortune to have to sit through a snooze fest or two. Boring meetings, whether an office meeting, business meeting, conference meeting or any other planned meeting, are counterproductive. There is nothing worse than having to attend a poorly organized, boring, too long or pointless meeting.

When planning meetings the goal is always (always) to provide a useful and beneficial platform where information is exchanged and shared and where viewpoints and knowledge are presented in the most interesting and comprehensive way. And when all is said and done, the participants are glad they attended and depart feeling it was well worth their time.

Whatever the subject matter, anyone planning meetings strives to make their meetings not only interesting but structured, effective, resourceful and efficient. The point is to keep the proceedings progressing in a timely fashion and achieve the meeting objectives and goals.

If only there way some way keep all attending and participating on track. Well, I’m here for you. If you’re ready for a laugh, look no further. Check out The Meeting Cause: The Minuta Maker below brought to us by BringTim and YouTube. And then say so long to those painfully long and boring meetings.

Why It’s Important to Have a Conference Planning Timeline

January 20, 2012 By Comments

There’s no doubt that conference planning requires strong organizational skills. When I think of all the meeting planners that I know, one characteristic that stands out is their ability to multitask. A conference planning timeline is a vital part of conference planning for a number of reasons. For example, it would be a total waste of time if you booked your off-site restaurant on a specific date for your group only to find out that there is no hotel space available for your group during on that date. Obviously, that would be a total waste of your time.

The Conference Planning Timeline Prioritizes Your to Do List

You may have read here our thoughts on the importance of conference planning checklists (if not I suggest you check out some of the related articles below). Well taking the importance of a conference planning checklist one step further, a checklist timeline would then be applied to all of the “to do” items that are on your checklist. The conference planning timeline prioritizes which items need to be addressed initially.

As I said at the beginning of this post, what would be the sense of booking a restaurant when you haven’t secured your hotel and/or meeting rooms yet. Therefore, in addition to determining what needs to get done, on what dates, it also helps you prioritize what needs to get done first, second, third and so on.

Here’s a quick and easy overview of some of the larger conference planning items and which ones you would address first:

  • Hotel/Meeting Facility – obviously first and foremost you want to make sure that the venue for your conference has been selected and secured.
  • Transportation – once you know your dates and you’ve received confirmation that space is available it would now be time to look at transportation requirements for your conference delegates.
  • Speakers -this would be the stage to look at what outside components that you have to secure in order to fulfill your meeting’s obligations
  • Off-Site Venues- it would be at this stage that you would now consider ideas for taking your group off-site. By now you should know which evenings or times are open (that you would need to fill with these types of activities).
  • Tours and Attractions- while not necessarily a main component of your conference, tours and attractions can often be a draw for your conference. After you scheduled and confirm the nuts and bolts of your conference, you would now want to consider what tours are available and at what times.
  • Entertainment – again this area is not necessarily the main part of your conference. But, like tours and attractions, entertainment can also play a vital role for promoting your conference or event.

Like a conference planning checklist, a conference planning timeline is also vital towards your planning. It helps you prioritize which items on your conference planning checklist would need to be addressed first and foremost.

Are You a Time Zone Meeting Planner?

January 19, 2012 By Comments

The meeting and events industry involves considerable travel for many meeting planners. If you are a world time zone meeting planner then you probably know all too well the toll that constant travel can have on your body. I used to joke with my colleagues that you could tell who was new to the industry. You’d see the new meeting planners jump at the opportunity to travel with groups to various destinations. But that novelty soon wears off as many seasoned meeting planners can barely remember what city they’re in let alone what city they’re going to next.

Warning Signs for a Time Zone Meeting Planner

Many meeting planners get so involved with their hectic travel schedule that they sometimes don’t even recognize the signals that they’re starting to get worn down. At first many people are able to brush these symptoms aside but if they’re not addressed these symptoms can escalate and become a serious problem for your overall health.

Basically the cause of jet leg is your body’s inability to adjust quickly to the time in a different zone from which you live. Our bodies have an internal biological clock that basically follows the 24-hour cycle, otherwise known as circadian rhythm. So if you are a meeting planner time zone travel can be particularly draining. It’s important that you pay attention to the warning signs. Some early warning jet leg signs that you should watch for are:

  • insomnia
  • irritability
  • impaired concentration
  • anxiety
  • constipation or diarrhea
  • some people can also suffer irregular heartbeats

Tips on How a Time Zones Meeting Planner Can Overcome Fatigue or Other Travel Symptoms

Many experts will tell you that you really should start to treat time zone changes or jet leg before you begin your journey. Make sure that you get plenty of rest (even start to factor the time zone of where you’re traveling to into your sleep patterns ahead of time). Exercise and plenty of fluids (of the non-alcoholic type – sorry) will also help you combat fatigue ahead of time. Unfortunately everything I read tells me to avoid alcohol before long time zone traveling. During long-haul flights it’s important that you keep a similar routine by making sure you’re well hydrated as well as getting up and stretching your legs from time to time. Many in-flight magazines will show you simple exercises that you can do during your flight to help you fight off fatigue. If you’re flying on a redeye flight, you should bring supplies (a neck pillow, blindfold and earplugs) that can help you get some well needed rest.

Scheduling meetings with participants in different time zones can also be a hassle for many meeting planners. For a meeting planner time zones do not necessarily need to be your enemy. in today’s world, there are many apps that are designed to help us in our everyday lives. Well, I’m pleased to tell you, that there is a time zone converter for a meeting planner. In the related articles below you’ll notice the first article will give you more information regarding a world clock for a meeting planner.

Being a timezone meeting planner certainly has its rewards. You see many interesting parts of the world as well as being exposed to many different cultures. But extensive travel can certainly have its wear and tear on your body. Listen to your body and make sure you take all of the necessary steps to ensure that you minimize the effects that jet leg can have on your body.

hello kitty

Get ready for Hello Kitty Party Ideas! The other day I was with a group of young girls and the entire afternoon was spent talking about their likes and dislikes when it comes to birthday parties. It was all about the parties, themes, activities, food and fun, an entire afternoon of birthday party speak. And when it came down to it, the majority of the girls were all over the moon for one specific theme. A theme they couldn’t stop talking about, the one they loved the most over and over was…drum roll please…it was all about Hello Kitty and a Hello Kitty Birthday Party  all the time. So with this not so professional market research experience, the majority of “my” girls stated this is the year for them and they won’t take no for an answer. Sorry moms, it’s the year of the Hello Kitty themed birthday party.

Who doesn’t love to plan a party…especially a younger girl’s party with a great theme? And really, who doesn’t love a  Hello Kitty birthday party. Everywhere you turn you catch a glimpse of something Hello Kitty, her papa, mama, grandpa, grandma and even her twin sister Mimi. Who knew Hello Kitty came from such a big happy family?

A great way to create the anticipation for a birthday party is by way of the invitation. An easy way to create an Hello Kitty birthday party invitations  is to print off a picture of Hello Kitty and use some construction paper and glitter to complete it. Or print off only the outline of the Hello Kitty head and glue it on some construction paper, then all you need to do is write out the party info and viola, you have an Hello Kitty birthday invitation. What about a cut out of a pink bow (Hello Kitty’s favorite) and use that to outline the party facts. Another fun and creative way to make an invitation is to take a picture of the birthday girl with her most favorite Hello Kitty doll, then glue the picture on some card stock, add the party details and mission accomplished. Don’t forget to include the birthday girl in the invitation creation, her touch will add the specialness needed.

Hello Kitty Party Ideas – The Decorations

 

When thinking Hello Kitty birthday party decorations, there is no shortage of items you probably already have around that you can pull from to design the purrfect Hello Kitty birthday party. Go ahead and hang some Hello Kitty posters and pictures on the walls and place a Hello Kitty doll in the middle of the table as a centerpiece. Use traditional Hello Kitty colors, black, pink and white, and hang classic hello kitty party decorations including balloons, streamers, banners and ribbons. Add some signs with Hello Kitty sayings like Café Cinnamon. Sprinkle party confetti, pink sequins and the like on the tables to create the mood. One Mom used pink candies, pink M&M’s as well as pink lollipops scattered around the room adding a little sweet extra to the birthday party. For a more tailored look make and/or purchase Hello Kitty  party supplies including banners and decorations as well as Hello Kitty napkins, paper plates and cups and party hats.

hello kitty head birthday cakeOf course, I ask you, what’s a Hello Kitty birthday party without some Hello Kitty kibble. This is the perfect opportunity to put to good use all your creativity and Hello Kitty knowledge. Why not make some pink macaroni and cheese or mini hotdogs, use a Hello Kitty, flower, cat or even flower cookie cutter and make Hello Kitty sandwiches. What about pink watermelon balls or slices and red strawberries, foods that are Hello Kitty’s most favorite colors. And as any fan knows, Hello Kitty’s favorite food is apple pie and since Hello Kitty is British, fish and chips may fit the bill. And pink lemonade is the perfect thirst quencher for all the obvious reasons.

It wouldn’t be a Hello Kitty birthday party without cake. There’s no other choice, no Hello Kitty party would be complete without a Hello Kitty themed cake (or cupcakes) served with a little strawberry ice cream on the side. What could be better?!

Hello Kitty Party Ideas – So Many Activities, Not Enough Time!

So let the kitty in you out with some of these awesome Hello Kitty birthday party games and activities. First and foremost, take a stab at Pin the Bow on the Hello Kitty, an easy to make (or order) activity. Hello Kitty face painting, depending on the age range, is an enjoyable and interactive bit of fun. Put together a classic Hello Kitty trivia game including questions about her favorite color, her height, full name and test the guests’ knowledge. And like Name that Tune, Name that Cat tests their cat knowledge with photos of famous cats. You can simply take some of the more popular birthday party games and customize them to the Hello Kitty party theme.

What Items Make up Your Conference Planning Checklist?

January 18, 2012 By Comments

For many of us, a conference planning checklist is a custom tailored document. What I mean by that is that we all have our own way of scheduling our own to-do list. There’s no doubt that a conference planning checklist helps you by breaking down all of the little components of a larger event or conference. And if anyone has ever tried to orchestrate a conference without a checklist than they probably know all too well how stressful and chaotic that can be.

A Conference Planning Checklist Will Help You See the Trees in the Forest

I know we’ve talked about event or conference planning checklist here a lot in the past. But I can’t stress enough at just how helpful a conference planning checklist can be to help put the conference itself into perspective. When I attend networking events and when I’m talking to meeting planners, a common question that I get asked is what items do I put on my conference planning checklist. My answer usually covers the basic items (which I’m going to review below), but I also stress that really the checklist should be developed around the work style of the person that’s going to be using the checklist. And really the overall goal of the checklist is to make sure that each and every component, no matter how small, gets addressed. After all it only takes one small item being overlooked to have a negative impact on your overall conference or event.

Think of the Conference Planning Checklist As a Map of Your Conference or Event

Once the overall conference itself has been planned, you should now be in a position where you can take the larger components of your conference and start breaking down the various steps that are needed to execute it properly.

The following are some basic conference components as well as suggestions on how to break down those components into smaller “to do” actions:

Hotel

  • conference dates determined
  • rates negotiated
  • meeting rooms allocated
  • room setups determine based on meetings format
  • equipment needed to be brought for the meeting
  • speakers, outside suppliers required for meeting
  • food and beverage requirements

Travel/Transportation

  • car company rates negotiated for airport transportation
  • additional transportation requirements (shuttle bus tickets, coaches for mass transportation)
  • system in place regarding flight manifests and how the car company will handle changes
  • local transportation provider (i.e. airport meet and greets) selected

Tours/Attractions

  • determine if a local destination management company (DMC) is required
  • determine free times and availability for tours
  • schedule appropriate tours

Off-Site Activities

  • determine which dates require off-site scheduling
  • determine theme for off-site (i.e. local restaurant, renting an attraction, venue)
  • as in tours and attractions, determine if a local destination management company (DMC) is required

A conference planning checklist helps you take a large conference or event and break down the various components so that you can see, at a glance, what needs to be done for a successful conference. In addition to a general outline of items (as above), you also need to address the due dates and how they will fit with your overall conference. When you take the time to sit down and map out all of the components to the conference, you’ll find it helps relieve the overall stress of getting things completed. A conference planning checklist is also a great tool for delegating the various components of your meeting or conference.

Conference Planning Tips on Promoting Events

January 17, 2012 By Comments

For many of you involved with conference planning, you”re all too familiar with the term “the devil is in the details”. It”s hard enough to set up the conference or event itself but then being tasked with  promoting the event can add a whole other stress level to your workload. In other words, for many of you, including myself, one of the toughest challenge to conference planning is promoting the conference or event itself. After all there”s nothing worse than having the big event day arrive and only a half filled room.

Conference and Event Planning Tip for Promoting-It”s All about Your List

First thing I ask a party and event planner about promoting their event, is who are they going to invite. First and foremost you need a good clean list that you can promote your event to. And you have to make sure that your list is the right audience. We”ve all heard the term “opt in” list. And today it”s becoming more and more common to have a double opt in list. If you currently do not have a clean opt in list then making one should be priority number one for you. Unless you have very deep pockets to do an extensive advertising campaign for your conference or event then it”s vital that you have a current database that is relevant to the conference planning you”re doing. Opt in basically means that the person on your list has requested to receive information or to be part of your overall database. The term double opt in means that the person has not only requested to receive information, they have also completed the additional step of verifying that it was indeed them that requested to be added to your list. An event planning checklist should include techniques for promoting events. And more importantly time to develop your list properly

The old days of just collecting names and e-mail addresses are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Social media can play a vital role in helping you create a clean opt in list. Unfortunately there is no quick fix or expedited track to developing a clean list. It takes time to build an opt in list as play casino online you”re basically establishing yourself as someone to be trusted on the topic you”re talking about within your industry. And that takes time.

Other telltale signs that your current list may need to be revisited are the stats that you can review from an e-mail blast that you have completed. Today, most all e-mail marketing software will provide you with statistics. Here are a few areas that you can review and evaluate your current database;

Bounces- (or more specifically hard bounces). Bounces are usually referred to as either hard or soft bounces. A soft bounced e-mail can generally mean that you are out of office or on vacation and may have an auto responder replying to any e-mails that you receive. A hard bounce, on the other hand, means that the e-mail address doesn”t exist anymore. Basically it”s in your better interest to remove your hard bounces often as you can run the risk of being flagged as a spammer if you continually send additional e-mails to hard bounced e-mail addresses.

Opt outs and reported as spam – for my guidelines, I always want my opt outs to be well under 1%. Averages for opt outs vary by industry but it”s safe to say that if you aim for 1% or lower you are in a safe range.

Open rates – while we would all like to think that 100% of our e-mails sent are opened the reality is that the majority will never be opened. A good open percentage could be anywhere from 15% to 30 percent depending on your industry.

Conference Planning and Promoting-There Are Great Resources at Your Fingertips

Today promoting an event is a crucial component for conference planning. For any of you setting up a marketing campaign you would be best served to read up and become aware of what your e-mail marketing benchmarks should be. MarketingSherpa provides a yearly e-mail marketing benchmark guide. This guide provides very useful information on what you can expect, or rather should expect, from your e-mail marketing campaigns for your industry. If you”re not hitting your conference planning targets then it”s very likely assign that your database list needs to be reworked. While this is no easy task it is crucial that your list is relevant and geared towards topics in your industry. A quick look at your e-mail distribution stats will give you an idea of what work may or may not lie ahead for you.

Strategic Planning Conference – Do You Need a Strategic Plan?

January 16, 2012 By Comments
one yellow/one blue poster spelling out We have a strategic plan it's called doing things

Photo courtesy of Kvanhorn

The question is; do we need strategic planning conference and/or a strategic plan?

I believe we all know the answer to that question is a rousing yes, yes, yes! These days when it comes to planning meetings and events, details and issues can and will change at a rapid pace. It is imperative for organizations to formulate and follow a course of action and an organizational structure in an attempt to ensure, in general, overall success.

We’ve all heard it said before “A goal without a plan is just a wish”. Whether talking about the meeting industry or another industry, truer words have never been spoken. Strategic planning is a practice that energizes and propels the anticipated result. When looking at companies that have already achieved victory in the meeting and event planning world, more often than not, they have had a strategic plan to help propel them to success.

The number one reason that companies endeavor to try and complete strategic planning is in an effort to understand more, make resolutions and decisions and to create a plan of action about the future for the organization and or meeting. When working on a strategic plan smart companies attempt to craft strong objectives by aligning the powers, strengths and resources while they stay the course and ultimately save time, waste and energy.

I know all of us can relate… see how Jim Couchenour and our friends at YouTube show us exactly why we should have a Strategic Planning conference to work out a strategic plan.
