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 Planning
3. Plan of Action
The most important stage in event planning is the creation of a comprehensive realistic Plan of Action and Budget. These two processes give you the foundation for holding a successful event. The more effort you put into these, the easier the event become to organize and the less chance of unforeseen problems. Include a Critical Path Chart with the Plan of Action. This will help keep the committee on target in completing the tasks set out in the action plan.
4. Event Program
The
event program highlights all the hard efforts the committee put into organizing
the event. Creating a well organized quality program not only let everyone know
about the event’s activities, but shows them what a great event it is that they
are attending. As discussed previously, it’s the “small touches” that help
people have a great time and want to come back for more.
