SayPro Confirm Event Logistics Ensure all logistics are in place for online and/or in-person sessions

To ensure smooth event logistics, here’s a comprehensive checklist to follow:

1. Speaker Arrangements:

  • Travel and Accommodation (for in-person events):
    • Confirm travel arrangements (flights, transport to venue).
    • Secure hotel reservations if needed.
    • Ensure that speakers are aware of event location, check-in times, and any other event-specific details (e.g., parking).
  • Virtual Setup (for online sessions):
    • Confirm each speaker’s time zone for session timing.
    • Ensure they have the correct software and platform access for online presentations.
    • Send out any necessary logins, links, or instructions to join the event.
  • Pre-event Speaker Briefing:
    • Hold a rehearsal or technical check-in for speakers ahead of time (either in-person or virtually).
    • Ensure all speakers understand the schedule, timing, and any event protocols.

2. Technical Support:

  • In-Person Event:
    • Test all AV equipment, microphones, projectors, screens, and any other tech tools for presentations.
    • Ensure a dedicated technician is available to assist with any last-minute technical issues.
    • Prepare backup equipment (e.g., spare microphones, projectors, laptops).
  • Virtual Event:
    • Choose the appropriate platform (Zoom, MS Teams, etc.) and ensure it’s tested and ready.
    • Set up tech rehearsals with speakers to check their audio, video, and screen-sharing functions.
    • Ensure a technical support team is on standby during the event for troubleshooting.
    • Provide an online help desk or contact information for speakers and attendees in case of issues.

3. Event Space/Online Platform:

  • In-Person Event:
    • Confirm event space details: room layout (theater-style, round tables, etc.), seating, and decor.
    • Set up signage for directing speakers, attendees, and support teams around the venue.
    • Check Wi-Fi availability and bandwidth capacity, especially for any hybrid sessions.
    • Ensure safety measures are in place (e.g., emergency exits, COVID-19 protocols if applicable).
  • Online Platform:
    • Set up event pages with clear instructions for attendees to register or join.
    • Create virtual “rooms” or breakout sessions for different topics or workshops.
    • Test the chat feature, breakout rooms, and other online interaction tools.

4. Communication:

  • Speakers:
    • Send reminders with their session time, virtual meeting links, or in-person event schedules.
    • Confirm their presentation materials are ready and uploaded (if applicable).
  • Attendees:
    • Send event agendas and detailed instructions on how to join (for online attendees).
    • Include reminders for in-person attendees about parking, registration, and check-in times.

5. Registration and Check-in:

  • In-Person:
    • Set up a registration desk or a check-in station for in-person attendees.
    • Have staff available to assist with badges, programs, and any last-minute questions.
  • Online:
    • Send out automated reminders about event access details for online attendees.
    • Ensure a streamlined registration process (e.g., virtual ticketing, confirmation emails).

6. Event Schedule & Timing:

  • Confirm Timing: Ensure all sessions (both online and in-person) are scheduled properly with sufficient breaks.
  • Time Zone Coordination: Double-check the timing of the sessions to account for different time zones (if international).
  • Buffer Time: Ensure there’s extra time between sessions to avoid delays or technical issues.

7. Post-Event Plans:

  • Feedback Collection:
    • Plan how to collect attendee and speaker feedback for future improvements.
  • Recording & Content Sharing (for online or hybrid events):
    • Ensure sessions are recorded (with permission from speakers) and make them available to attendees post-event.
    • Provide resources or slides after the event, and let speakers know about this plan.

8. Emergency Plan:

  • Have a backup plan for any unexpected situations (e.g., speaker cancellation, platform failure, tech issues).
  • Assign specific team members to manage crisis situations during the event.
