Presentation on Organizing FDPs/Seminars/Conferences and Workshops

By Dr. Mona Tawar on 11th July, 2011

Enlistment of ideas and practical solutions is good to have in mind when organizing a conference.

Holding a successful conference year after year constitutes a hallmark of excellence for a professional society or an educational institution. While many factors contribute to the success of such a meeting, a key factor is careful planning and organization. The presentation described a systematic approach to conference planning and organization: (1) making preliminary analyses and assessments; (2) obtaining the agreement of cosponsors; (3) selecting key conference officers; (4) organizing conference committees; (5) selecting the conference site, hotel, and dates; (6) developing the conference master plan; (7) following through and implementing planning decisions; (8) anticipating and managing contingencies; and (9) coordinating post-conference activities.

Using a systematic approach simplifies the task and makes it possible to run an annual meeting successfully.
