More favourite conference and event tips 2011!!

Create a red carparet welcome and WOW your guests at no expense!
It is easier than most may think. It is simply a matter of having enough individuals who are affiliated with the event, including hotel staff to be available - roll out the red carpet and clap to welcome guests when they arrive - how special they will feel!
"DEATH BY POWERPOINT" can be DULL and is generally a one way delivery tool at conferences and presentations. If your message is important enough to be heard - there is a unique system to turn it into a two way communication and information session. Ask questions and involve your delegates or customers to receive immediate, anonymous feedback.
A very user friendly KEYPAD system has become more affordable than ever - from $10 per key pad per day. The value add is that the message usually remains with them longer and every participant is heard and can drive discussions and promote interaction. Great for marketing and surveys, hypotheticals, speaker evaluations and case studies. Research shows that interaction improves memory retention by 3 - 5 times! More information can be provided - contact Susan@sgideas.com.au
