minutes to a meeting : The Perfect Meeting Guide

So you've never been in charge of a conference or seminar before? Are you nervous yet?

If you've started working on the paperwork, I bet you've noticed the enormous task that is ahead of you. And if when I say the word "paperwork," if you ask "what paperwork...?"

...then you've got an even bigger challenge ahead of you. Knowing all the small and often overlooked details involved with running a successful conference or seminar is near impossible.

Near impossible if you don't have experience on your side. The best way to alert yourself to the coming situations, problems, and conflicts that are bound to happen in only a short time...

...is to track down some solid information that will warn you of impending disasters before they happen. When you're the one they'll hold responsible, it's best not to hold back when getting prepared!

My name is Peter Penny, and I have been producing sales meetings for corporations big and small for over 25 years . These meetings have taken place literally around the world, from most major North American cities, to corporate events in tropical destinations such as St. Thomas, Nassau, Cancun, and many other exotic destinations as well.

I have produced meeting for groups as small as 25 attendees, and for corporations with attendance topping 3,000 people! These meetings range from a single evening, for an awards banquet, or special dinner, to an AGM (Annual General Meeting), to a full week, usually for a National Sales Meeting. Regardless of the size or length of the event, the basic planning structure is the same.

One of the first items of business I take care of when a new project begins is to prepare a document for my client outlining the steps necessary, and timeline that must be followed to ensue the event will proceed as expected. It is the accumulation of all this information I have gathered over the years that I have compiled into a comprehensive report for you...
