As event organizers, we deeply value the contributions of our speakers – the lifeblood of our conferences, webinars, and workshops. Their time, knowledge, and resources are indispensable. While we understand the importance of financial compensation, we also acknowledge that budgets can be tight. Here are some thoughtful ways to compensate speakers, even when monetary rewards are not feasible: 1️⃣ Financial Compensation: If possible, budget for fair payment for their time and expertise. 2️⃣ Professional Development Opportunities: Offer exclusive access to workshops, courses, or conferences that enhance their skills and knowledge. 3️⃣ Networking Opportunities: Facilitate connections with fellow industry professionals, fostering valuable relationships. 4️⃣ Promotion and Exposure: Showcase their brand, services, or books through our marketing channels, elevating their visibility. 5️⃣ Thought Leadership Platform: Position them as thought leaders in our field, enhancing their professional standing. 6️⃣ Travel and Accommodation: Cover travel expenses and provide comfortable accommodations as a token of our appreciation. 7️⃣ Professional Services: Extend pro-bono services like design, marketing, or coaching, aligned with our areas of expertise. 8️⃣ Personal Touch: Leave a handwritten thank-you card in their room to express our gratitude for their invaluable contribution. 9️⃣ Room Drop of Gifts: Surprise speakers with a thoughtful room drop, ensuring their comfort and enjoyment during their stay. At ITM Events, we are committed to recognizing and compensating our speakers, whether financially or through these meaningful gestures. Our aim is to foster an environment where our speakers feel genuinely valued and appreciated. #SpeakerCompensation #EventOrganizing #SpeakerAppreciation #ProfessionalDevelopment #Networking #EventManagement #Gratitude

It's been just over a week since I was involved in co-running my last event - a conference dedicated to financial wellbeing for Institute for Financial Wellbeing. This was their 5th annual conference that I've assisted with - 2 of which were online for obvious reasons 😷 - and this was our 3rd face to face. It's always a really rewarding event to organise and manage - we have a brilliant team, we get to meet and listen to inspirational speakers and we get to meet so many delegates in person, who we only normally see on zoom. Events are a wonderful way to not only showcase your services, but help build your profile too as a leader in your field. Whether you're running webinars or in-person events, large or small, incorporating events into your overall marketing strategy will help build your business quicker and more effectively than hiding behind a keyboard! As for me, I've been running events since 1995 - yes I am that old 😅 - and have designed and managed several hundred over the years, including building successful events departments from scratch during my corporate years.

There is nothing unlucky behind door 13 of our Ad-Event calendar, instead we have tips on how to run an effective roundtable. Having organised many roundtables for various industries we have seen first hand the benefits. A roundtable is a much smaller type of event, usually held in a meeting room, where stakeholders and/or experts discuss a certain topic. Due to their small size and budget, roundtables are an ideal first event for a small company to host. For the organiser it’s a cost-effective way to spend time with your existing clients and make contact with future prospects. As it is usually a short length event (around 2 hours) it is easier for attendees to fit it into their schedule than a half day commitment and they can join in-person or online. These are our tips for hosting a successful roundtable; Invite the right people - As well as representatives from your company you want to have stakeholders and decision makers at your roundtable. Choose appropriate topics - Ensure discussion topics are carefully defined and relevant. Set an agenda - See to it that all participants keep to the agenda set. Make it fast paced - Encourage comments from participants to be short and to-the-point. Have a good facilitator - Having an experienced facilitator encourages participation from all attendees and keeps the discussion moving forward positively. Take notes - Have someone there to make notes of the main discussion points and ideas that come out of the discussion. If you would like ideas on hosting a roundtable or just want advice before holding your first event, we are happy to help. #corporateevents #roundtables #eventplanningtips
