One of the riskiest things about holding an outdoor event or exhibition is the weather may be predictable. Here are some tips to help you hold a successful outdoor event:
Choose Your
Venue Wisely
Know all the pros and cons of
your chosen venue and make sure your clients have been informed as well.
Prepare a fast turn around and have a workable solution if the weather isn’t as
good as expected.
Plan And
Prepare For All Circumstances
Prepare items like weather gear,
marquees, even a backup venue if possible. Be aware of all the limitations and
changes you may need to decide onsite. Keep an eye on the weather forecasts
prior to the event. Communicate with all the staffs about the changes to the
event. Advise the audience and politely advise them to prepare themselves for
any unexpected weather. Know the worst-case scenarios so you will be fully prepared for
that.
Include The
Suppliers In The Planning Processes
Communicate with the suppliers
and know what they can do if things become challenging. Work closely with
suppliers to create solutions. Solve problems with suppliers under tight time
constraints.
Be Flexible
Try to be flexible for all the
natural occurrences. Keep an open mind and be creative if things are still
under control. Be willing to compromise if things do not go on well as prepared
and quickly accommodate a new plan.
Safety
Considerations
Always make sure your plan covers OH&S elements for both the delegates and staff. Check all the facilities of the venue before the date of the event. Think about how to keep the balcony, walkway or stair is as safe if wet. Make the team adequately prepared for transporting conference collateral and equipments in rainy weather.
