The purpose of this Conference Planning Guide is to help you create and design your conference in such a way that all of your Team Members feel special, all of your Attendees receive the maximum rewards, and your Organizational Goals achieve the highest impact.
We begin to plan your Conference by asking a few questions which should lay the groundwork for organizing your event.
When Is Your Conference Being Held?
The local culture and weather conditions should also be considered when making plans and
arrangements, as your Attendees and Local Partners may be affected by them.
Most organizations attempt to hold their Annual Conference during the same week each year.
This helps with planning in many areas, for yourself as well as your Attendees.
Where Is Your Conference Being Held?
If your previous Conference Site, Accommodations, and Travel Services were perfect,
don't change a thing. If however, your last Conference was not perfect, now is the time
to take total control of your next Conference.
How Many Attendees Are You Expecting?
The Conference Site should be within walking distance, or a short shuttle ride, of the Accommodations.
This way your Attendees are comfortable when they arrive, and ready to begin their day with full interest.
Your Conference Site should be large enough to hold all of your Attendees, be prepared for
Workshops and Seminars, and provide a comfortable Break Area. Staging Areas and Exhibit Rooms
should also be available to meet any of your needs.
What Are The Accommodations & Travel Plans?
As to Travel, with a minimum number of passengers, you may be able to receive discounts
for your guests. It is always nice to be able to offer your Attendees a special rate on
the hotel and travel combination.
The optimum, of course, is to hold the Conference at the same location as your
Attendees' Accommodations. If that is not possible, shuttle services are available.
Are The Attendees Bringing Spouses?
Casino Lunches, Musical Concerts, Island Tours and Day Spa Specials are just a few options
you can offer your Attendees' Spouses while the Conference is in session.
Spousal Arrangements, City Tours and Special Festivities are easy to design, and
will help the Attendees to be more comfortable in focusing on your actual Conference.
Will You Have A Welcoming Ceremony?
If your Conference Site is at a separate location, consider having your Welcoming
Ceremony at the Attendees' Accommodations Site.
Cocktails, Dinner or a Banquet is a nice way to welcome your Attendees, and can be
a fun and informative method of beginning your Conference. Consider this to be the time
for Awards and Special Recognitions of the past year.
What Is Your Conference Theme?
This Theme could be carried out with a Keynote Speaker opening with "Changes To Achieve Success",
followed by Team Building and Leadership Workshops, Technological and Industry Foundation
Seminars, and a Capstone Speaker wrapping up with a Recap of all Workshop and Seminar Lessons.
These could be followed up with an Exhibit Room in which to meet potential future partners.
Your Conference Theme should represent an Empowering Organizational Concept, such as:
"Building a Better Tomorrow with Today's Tools".
What Are Your Goals?
All of your Agendas, Workshops, Seminars and Speakers should reflect your Conference Theme,
while being fun and informative for everyone who is attending. Consider the methods you would most
like to utilize to accomplish these goals.
Allow time between Workshops & Seminars for any Instructor questions, Rest Breaks, Networking among the Attendees, and Exhibit Room visits.
Remember to include the Conference Agenda and Spousal Plan Suggestions with the Pre-Registration mail-out packets, so that your guests can structure their private schedules.
Who Are Your Speakers?
The Keynote Speaker should cover all pertinent information and be informative,
while creatively offering inspiration and insight.
The Capstone Speaker should close your Conference with reminders of the recent
lessons learned, prompt the focus of your organizational goals, and inspire the
Attendees to establish their newly acquired skills into practice in their
every day lives.
Magic, Juggling and Humour can add a special touch of fun while emphasizing an
important concept. Our Entertaining Speakers focus on Coping with Change,
Discovering Your Magic, Juggling For Success, Leadership Skills, Team Building,
Time Management, and more.
Opening Speakers kick-off a Conference by awakening the Attendees, raising their
energy levels, and perking their interest for the day ahead.
Who Are Your Instructors?
All of your Instructors should be informative, interesting and easy to understand.
Workshops and Seminars should be conducted by those with expertise in your field
or industry.
Are You Offering Class Credits or Diplomas?
Class Credits and Graduation Certificates are not only proof of the lessons learned,
but can also be nice souvenirs of a superb Conference.
What Is Your Budget?
By utilizing our local Alliance Partners as sources, we will help you to find the
best Conference and Accommodation Sites, Transportation and Caterers, and plan
the ideal Island Tours and Outings for your Attendees and their Spouses.
If this is also a Trade Show which invites Exhibitors:
This question sets the tone for your entire Conference. Location and Accommodation
Sites, Welcoming and Award Ceremonies, Catering, Keynote and Capstone Speakers,
Handouts, Take-Aways, Awards and all other Special Event activities are marked by how much
money you can spend.
What Is Your Trade Show Budget?
This question allows you to delegate needed money towards Design, Catering,
Outside Promotion and other Trade Show needs.
Will There Be An Exhibit Room?
When creating the design of the Exhibit Room, it is important to assure that each
Exhibit Booth is easily available to the Attendees, so that all of the Exhibitors
might be visited.
Vendors, Suppliers, and those indirectly involved in your field of experience
will welcome the opportunity to reach out to your Attendees with information about
their products and services.
Will You Have An Exhibit Booth?

according to your needs, contact Mystical Events by email:
