conference management
Conference Registration

At the next great event, we understand that your conferences are a critical part of your annual agenda.  Before we even begin to work on the planning and management of your conference, we like to learn about you, the history of your organization, and the past successes and challenges you have experienced with your conferences, including:

  • Organization’s background, including mission, strategic objectives and organizational structure
  • Organization’s leadership, including who the decision makers are, how the decision making process works within the organization, and the methods of communication preferred by the decision makers (phone, email, in-person visits, etc.)
  • Target audience – who are the attendees of your conferences, and what methods of delivery will they best respond to? (Informational classroom setting, large conference room setting, incentive program, etc.)
  • Potential challenges and risks
  • Past conference history – including locations, attendance, agendas, objectives and past achievement of goals
  • Past conference logistics – identifying the strong points as well as the areas which could use improvement

Now it’s time to plan your conference!  At the next great event, it is our goal to customize the services we provide to best meet the needs of your particular conference, and to make the experience as “turn-key” as possible.  Below is a sampling of the core services we provide:

  • Site Selection
  • Vendor Negotiations
  • On-site Coordination Services
  • Speaker/Exhibitor Relations
  • Development of Conference Materials

Throughout the conference management process, the next great event will act as an extension of your team, creating a central point of communication, and acting as the liaison between you, the host venue and all contracted service providers.  Our national network of event partners allows us to plan and manage conferences locally and nationally, whether you are expecting 200 attendees or 2,000!
