- The first step is to recruit some dynamic, energetic people to help you with the planning, and form a small committee who will share the work.
- Brainstorm and plan out your event. Decide who should attend the event. Decide on which roles each committee member is going to take on. Remember for an event to be successful, you must have a good plan in place.
- Sit down with your committee and set out your event goals. How many people will attend? How much revenue should you expect? How will you keep your costs low? Your goals should be realistic and attainable. Click here for helpful tips.
- Make a budget. Identify possible sources of revenue and outline all the potential costs. For large expenses, it is good to get three quotes from potential suppliers to ensure you are getting the best possible deals. Having a budget in place helps you avoid surprise bills at the end of your event, so you can be sure the money raised goes where you intended.
- Schedule your event. Decide on the date, time and place and book the location if you need to. You cannot go to the next steps without a location in place. You may also want to make sure there are no other similar events on the same day.
