The plan should be mapped out as specific as possible, but keep an open mind throughout the planning process. If you see that something is working better than the rest of the marketing initiatives, adjust your plan according and vice versa.


Start branding your event conference or meeting:
Branding your event, conference or event with a look a feel sends a message to your attendee’s consistentmessage to your attendees and that will help grab their attention their attention. The brand should carry through all promotional materials, including e-mails, the website and materials offered on-site.   

The internet can be your best friend
If you have a website well and good, if you have one then you can always have a designated section that has all the information listed regarding the meeting conference or event sinceit is essential to providing information to attendees. You can provide a wealth of information for a fraction of the cost of sending that same information through the mail. Get your website up as soon as you can. If you don't have complete information available, provide a way for people to sign up to be notified when more information or they can register online if the option us available.
                                                                          

Offer group rates
Offer discounted rates to multiple attendees from one particular organization or if you hold meetings very often then offer discounts to those who offer discounts to individuals that attend more than one.

Location, it plays a vital role
The location of your meeting or conference can play a large role in increasing the amount of people that are going to attend your meeting. If the majority of your potential attendees are on the east coast itmay not only make sense to host a conference on the west side, try altering between different coats and see what works out best for you. If you have a national presence and are looking to gain an international presence from Europe, consider an east coast location.
Also consider the type of audience and the location type that will best appeal to them such as a resort, a down town location or an airport hotel.


Word of mouth, it is more important than you think it is.

It is nearly impossible for people to attend your meeting or event if they don’t know about you or the meeting. Consider offering free registration to the trade press and send out nicely made press releases.
