THE BLUEPRINT

                                                                                PHASE 2 - THE PLANNING STAGE

It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well... - Rene Descartes

Congratulations!  The first phase of the project is complete and now the planning may begin.  Getting grasp on a realistic budget is an important first step of the planning stage.  Once this is established, this sight will explore the  criteria used in selecting the perfect host hotel.

The planning stage will explain the various events required in the FORUM schedule and give helpful hints on how to plan them.  Sponsorship, another issue in this phase speaks on how to design a sponsorship package and who to solicit. 

In all conferences, audio-video production for the event must be planned.  As this is a cost that can vary substantially, it is worthy of discussion.

Remember to make use of the city's convention bureau the free information that they can provide.  Throughout this web site, the convention bureau will be mentioned where they can offer free information and/or services.
