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 Plan Implementation
14. Sound System
Sound systems are likely the last thing you worry about in planning an event. More events have “crashed and burned” because of poor sound quality. Listen to the existing sound system BEFORE the event. If it is not of the highest quality, rent a replacement system and test it also. The problem may be with the acoustics of the room. If that’s the case, you may have to hire a professional sound expert to help you find a solution. Don’t underestimate the need for quality sound.
15. Signage
Sometimes
it’s easier to hand write a sign then to have one professionally made. This
would be a big mistake. The quality of your event shows in your “little touches”. Most hand written sign
are tacky and should avoided. However, with the advancement of computers and
their printers, computer generated signs can be both professional and
interesting as long as whoever is making them knows what they are doing!
