Return on Investment (ROI) isn't just an industry buzz word anymore...
Everyone in the conference world is demanding ROI...
- Attendees at association conferences want fresh creative meetings or they won't attend.
- Employers want proof of quality content before they will allow employees to attend.
- Corporate managers are cutting budgets, yet insisting on higher quality everything for their attendees.
Bottom line... the responsibility for delivering all of this ROI falls on the shoulders of the conference planner.
ROI, however, means something different to everyone with a stake in the conference outcome. Determining the overall "Best ROI" options falls to the conference planners. Their decisions become more difficult when the ROI of individual stakeholders are at odds with the overall ROI of the conference... especially when these stakeholders are key sponsors or vendors.
Which is why Conference Planners are partnering with Conference Organizers to help their conferences succeed.
"Conference Planners" and "Conference Organizers" have two completely different skill sets. Perhaps easier to understand if you compare the skills of an Architect to those of a construction site General Contractor.
The Conference Planner is the Architect of the conference... they determine what the overall look and feel should be. They also handle the internal politics of management, members/attendees, sponsors and educational content of the conference. The Conference Organizer is the General Contractor of the conference... using the planners' blueprints they oversee the conference logistics. They deal with the hotels (site selection if needed), web site and onsite registration (if needed), hire sub-contractors as needed and provide support for entertainers, speakers, sponsors and vendors during the conference.
Conference Planners and Conference Organizers work as a team.
