Presentations have been around for a long time. In fact, it is difficult to see someone that does not relate to the feeling of getting stuck in a room, then seeing a presenter slowly flip through different slides. Not only is that not an entertaining way to share information, unfortunately, it can also be a great way to put an audience to sleep. All event planners know the importance of drawing the attention of an audience using compelling information.

But does everyone who uses it truly understand how to apply the concept to their events? I want to demystify this term for many of you. Yes, it can—and should be—approached thoughtfully and intentionally. But that doesn’t mean overhauling your entire event. .

An online reseller of contracted meeting elements launches a week ahead of its industry rollout at the IMEX show in Frankfurt. When meetings are canceled, the group that signed the contract is typically responsible to pay either a flat fee or a percentage of the revenue they were to bring to the contracted supplier. And when a cancellation happens within a few weeks of the event dates, the payment is often for the full amount that was due to the supplier.

It makes great sense that franchises and many other business models can benefit from conventions that enable employees across locations to interact with one another. Planning franchise conventions doesn’t come without its challenges. These challenges, in my experience, can be solved by implementing some franchise convention planning tips. For example, event sessions that are too long can be draining or exhausting for their audiences.

Events operate by stories. “Our species doesn’t operate by reality. It operates by stories. Cities are a story. Money is a story. Space was a story, once. A king tells us a story about who we are and why we’re great, and that story is enough to make us go kill people who tell a different story. Or maybe the people kill the king because they don’t like his story and have begun to tell themselves a different one.” —Isabel, in Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers I love science fiction

Efficient planning does not mean reinventing the wheel each time. Leverage the three Ds: Delegate tasks, collect data, and incorporate deadlines. Successfully planning an academic conference can take years.
