Theme: organization of international congresses and conferences.
Hypothesis:
Let's say your company needs to imprint the organization of a congress. It is therefore an important large event. The program includes the high presence of international participantsfrom different countries. What will you have to do to be able to better organize your event, avoiding flops and unpleasant unexpected events?
Thesis:
What you will need to do is to start from areliminary analysis And from the very idea you have of the event itself. What is its goal, what is its target audience, what is its content and how. Specifically, let's see together by points how to follow the basic procedure for organizing international congresses and conferences.
The 5 main points of the checklist for the organization of international congresses:
- Goal setting of the event
The first step coincides with the preliminary stage of congress organization. It is therefore necessary to start with identifying the objectives of the event. The success of an event depends on its performance, and to achieve a good performance it is first necessary to understand what the objectives are to be achieved. Focusing on the goal helps to better understand what the resources, work, and ways to analyze and employ should be next. So ask yourself c what do you hope to achieve With this congress. Only after the goal has been established can the next steps for planning the event be taken.
2. Company budget and target audience
The second phase is structured on the basis of the goals defined in the previous phase. In fact, depending on the goal, you will be able to find what the event recipients and provide a total budget for organizing the event. Understanding to whom to target the event and which people to attract is something that should not be underestimated. The audience is the driving force, the active part and crucial to achieve a event ad hoc and achieve the desired degree of success.
In addition to target definition, at this stage it is calculated what economic resources are available to establish an action plan. You may also have external funding and investment from sponsors. Don't forget to add extra margin for unplanned expenses and setbacks.
3. Search for perfect location
Every event deserves and needs a location that is Appropriate to the nature and needs of the event. The organization of a conference in this case requires a location easily reachable with public transport, spacious and bright, functional and appropriate. The size and aesthetic characteristics of the location must respect the purpose of the event. A location that is too large for a small audience could be dispersive and "cold." A location that is too small for a large audience could cause the opposite effect.
The reachability of the location is an object of great care by the event organizers. Since a coagulation of people and subjects from different parts of the world is expected, it is crucial that the difficulty of reaching the location does not become a reason for non-effective participation.
And again, considering the presence of technical professionals and conference interpreters, the location must allow for the installation of technical equipment For interpretation.
4. The team creation and the intervention of external figures: the congress interpreters
As already anticipated, the nature of the international congress also includes professional and expert linguists. Congress interpreters are called upon to provide a simultaneous interpreting service to promote effective communication and maximum accessibility at the event. International participants cannot be left in the dark and far from the event because of language and cultural barriers. It is up to the organizer to consider this, and up to the professionals, such as translators and interpreters, to put it into practice.
Failure to take into account language and cultural differences between participants and speakers/organizers can be a reason for failure or dissatisfaction.
5. Promotion of the event
Today, marketing is fiercely defending communication strategies from the digital touch. The social have become the bread and butter for those working in marketing and communications. Communicating details, information in an appealing, clear and comprehensive manner is necessary for one to be able to attract the greatest number of people.
We know how much conference and event organization means great effort and commitment. Everything has to be planned and synchronized to perfection. Every single detail is a piece to be carefully arranged.
Also think about alternatives and plans B is another great way to avoid being lost and confused. In case, for example, it is difficult to find the right location or available interpreters, you can rely on agencies that provide remote interpreting services. Simultaneous interpreting can also be equally effective and professional at a distance.
Congressi Internazionali has all the professional congress organization and interpreting services, including video interpreting, that are right for you.
