To say that planning an academic event is tricky is an understatement. The moment your attendees walk in, they’ll know whether your event is well-planned or not. With how competitive the event management space has become, the stakes are higher than ever this year. Add to it the chaos and stress of planning an event, and planners are always on their toes during the event planning process.Â
Picture this. You enroll in a workshop hoping to learn a valuable skill, but halfway through the sessions, you realize there’s nothing new to learn. I’m sure you would not want your attendees to have the same experience. That being said, turning an idea into a workshop takes considerable effort. Genuine workshops aim to educate the participants so that they walk away with a new idea or skill.
Imagine you walked into an event hoping to hear insightful details from the speakers, but sat through endless presentations with no interactions. You wouldn’t want your attendees to feel the same about the events you put together. And the most effective way to organize a high-quality event is to invite good speakers.Â
For any researcher, getting an opportunity to present their research at a prestigious conference is an opportunity that they look forward to all their lives. Give yourself a pat on your back if you have already been part of a poster presentation opportunity in recent times. Now, if you are a young researcher who is soon going to be presenting at a poster session for the first time, you might want to sit down for this one.Â
Human beings are inherently interested in stories. There’s a mix of nostalgia and excitement that plays out when stories are effectively used in event marketing. Hence, event organizers and marketers have been strategically including storytelling in the events for a while now. According to studies, 55% audiences are more likely to remember a story than a list of facts and theories.Â
What is one of the most pertinent concerns for organizers when hosting university events? If your answer is securing enough funding, then what we are about to discuss might be of use to you. In the process of booking a venue, sorting out equipment, and arranging for catering services, you find that you’re running out of funds too quickly. This is the reason why most event organizers choose to look for sponsorship opportunities for their events.Â
It is the season of gratitude. As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, it is the right time to talk about the post-event thank you email. Many event organizers already know that your event isn’t truly over until you have thanked the attendees, speakers, sponsors and your team for their contributions. Sending a thank you message is your chance to have a lasting impression on people involved in your event.Â
Effective decision-making is at the heart of every successful event. It’s only possible to make accurate decisions if you have the right set of data at your disposal. Planners and organizers today are relying on data to ensure optimum attendee satisfaction at their events. Without access to timely event data, it’s easy to miss out on opportunities to improve attendee engagement and satisfaction.Â
What do you think is the one thing that your conference attendees wouldn’t appreciate about your event? If your answer is long queues outside the event venue, then you’re probably still stuck with traditional ways of event check-ins. As with all aspects of organizing an event, the check-in process has also evolved. Organizers today don’t shy away from exploring various digital tools for a smoother attendee check-in process at events.Â
Thinking of planning your next hybrid event? We have a statistic that you’ll probably find insightful. According to Statista, 74.5% of event planners prefer hosting hybrid events as of 2025. Hence, you are in the correct direction if you think choosing hybrid events is the way forward.Â
Picture this. You walked into a cafe and asked for a flat white with almond milk. After a few days of ordering your usual, you notice that every time you ask for this specific type of coffee, the barista messes it up. There goes your morning ritual! If the lack of personalization can ruin something as simple as a coffee drinking experience, imagine how detrimental it can be in the context of academic events. Thus, event organizers today spend considerable energy on event personalization to create an unforgettable attendee experience.Â
