Most hotels and conference centers routinely host seminars and have the process down to a science. If your budget won't allow for such accommodations, check out renting space at a local college or training facility. Advance registration gives you a good idea of how many people to expect and how many handouts you'll need. Always ask how the registrant heard about the seminar so you can track your marketing results. Provide good handouts.
Handouts are one of the most overlooked tools in seminar marketing.
Give your attendees professional-looking materials that support key points in your presentation. Don't be understaffed. Be sure you have enough staff at the event to handle registration, last-minute errands, product sales, distribution of handouts and other event essentials. Capture your attendees. You may also wish to develop an evaluation form to distribute and collect to help you make your seminar even better next time around.
