I have had the privilege of attending and working with thousands of auction dinners throughout North America for over 20 years. Some had several thousand attendees, while others only had fifty or so. The articles that follow are meant to give an overview of how successful auction dinners are conceived, planned and managed.
For anyone who wants a complete "Developing
An Auction Dinner" package, complete with working manuals,
workbooks, sample forms and PowerPoint presentations, visit my Festival and Event Planning website.
Event Development
19. Event Materials
Developing and producing event materials is an important part of controlling your event. These items include: event tickets, raffle tickets, posters, sponsorship letters, auction receipts, silent auction bid sheets, etc. Try to think of all your needs and then develop the materials needed.
20. Event Equipment
You need to make a list of all the extra
equipment you will need to hold your event. Some of it you may already have,
but others you may have to rent or purchase. If you are going to hold your
event repeatedly, you may want to purchase some of the items rather than rent.
Here is a partial list to help you start.
