1. Dull presentations
No one likes having to look at a boring PowerPoint presentation slide full of text – keep it short, sweet and simple.
2. No internet
The Internet is everywhere – make sure you equip your attendees with the tools they need to get connected!
3. Printing an event schedule
We’re living in the age of technology, where a basic Event App is a smart and interactive alternative.
4. Cold tea or coffee
After sitting through presentations and networking all day – a nice hot beverage can make all the difference.
5. Not knowing the social media channels
Social media has become an integral part of business – be sure that your audience knows where to go and what to do. Don’t overwhelm them by using ALL of the known social media channels – sometimes, less is more.
6. Bad sound quality
Nothing is more exhausting than having to sit through an hour-long speech or presentation while struggling to hear what the presenter is saying.
7. Overusing technology
We get it, you want to host a modern and tech-savvy event – just don’t overdo it by trying to use all the tools at once. Know which ones your audience uses to interact with them. A great way to achieve this is with an Engagement App, which works well for onsite and virtual events.
8. Not considering people with disabilities
This requires no further explanation..
9. Onsite Registration
There are several Onsite Check-in and Badge Printing Solutions that you can invest in to avoid wasting your attendees’ time during the event registration – keep things simple.
10. Not enough mic runners
It’s already awkward having to speak in front of a bunch of people you don’t know – don’t make it worse by having your attendees wait anxiously to get their questions heard.
11. Bad climate control
Whether it’s too much A/C or simply not enough – it’s your responsibility to make your attendees feel comfortable while they’re at your event. Something as small as temperature can make all the difference.
12. Not protecting your attendee data
Nothing is worse than sharing your contact information with an organization and then receiving multiple, spammy emails that you didn’t sign up for – it is your responsibility to take care of your attendees – even after your event is over.
