There are several types of conferences; the dictionary definition of conference says “A meeting for the exchange of views”.

My interpretation of conference, being a conference producer, is a place where people meet to confer and share knowledge. In the sharing theme I have decided to detail the elements required to ensure your conference goes smoothly. Whether you are getting a conference production company like mine to do it for you, or if you are going to manage it yourself, follow this outline and you can be assured that if you have made ample allowances for each of the items then your attendees (usually called delegates) will have a great day out.

There are many different types of conferences, one of the most popular types are seminars which are normally an academic style forum where people go to learn about a certain subject.Quite a few companies run free seminars to teach their clients about the products they sell and how they can help to fulfil a need. Quite often the clients do not realise they have the need until the seminar is over!

I mention Forum above because this is probably (at least to my knowledge) the oldest type of meeting or conference that I am aware of. My partner Sam will cringe at this, as when I discuss my work, I always have to get the Romans in the story somehow A lot of the passion in my work comes from Roman history.

A Short History of Conferences

The forum as many people are aware was the centre of power in Rome for many hundreds of years, a Roman general would return from a successful campaign and he would have been received at the forum and made a speech from the rostrum to the people of Rome, about what he encountered on his travels and how he overcame the challenges he faced.

So for thousands of years people have been having conferences around the world, the tools for doing the job have changed, but I can imagine and have indeed read about, the effort and organisation that went into preparing for one was as important then as it is today.Much like decorating, running a successful conference is all in the preparation!

Things haven’t changed much no matter how large or small a conference is, there are some rules that we must all follow.

The Right Venue

Once you have a reason to hold a conference and an audience to attend the next step is venue selection, this is crucial as you will need a room large enough for the numbers attending, without being too large. If you are going to have a conference set with rear projection then the throw distance has to be taken into account when you are looking at the room, (I will come onto throw distance later when thing get more technical) as this uses space too.It is also a good idea to try and make sure you have extra ‘breakout’ rooms available for delegates to have private discussions and to make and receive phone calls.

Once you have a main meeting room suitable for your delegate numbers, you then have to consider where they will have tea and coffee breaks for networking and if there is potential for exhibition style displays.

Successful conference productions are sometimes determined by the proximity of an airport if the majority of delegates are international visitors.

Remember if you are going to do the job right you are also responsible for the delegate experience prior to arriving at the venue, you want them to have a pleasant journey and feel as relaxed as possible on arrival so venue location is very important, as is the type of venue.

Conference Production

Once a venue has been selected and it fits with all the criteria above, then it’s time to give your production company a call, they will normally recommend a site visit, so the room can be measured to check all of the conference production elements fit within the space proposed. There is nothing worse than turning up on the day to find something wont fit!

There are various different styles of the seating and this is an important consideration. There is theatre style seating where the delegates sit in rows next to each other. Then you have classroom style seating where delegates sit next to each other with a slim table in front similar to when you might take an exam. Then there is cabaret style seating which is where delegates are seated on round tables which are usually six feet across.

After your production company has completed the site visit they will propose the elements of staging you require to achieve your purpose. This will include stage and set, video projection, sound, lighting, crew levels to operate the show, and any pre-production specifics.

Pre-production

Not all conferences require pre-production, for example if your conference has PowerPoint slides you may want your production company to create them for you, a lot of companies now have the staff to do this in-house, but if that is the case they need to be of a professional standard.

You may want a video to be created, there are different types of messages you could utilise a video for, for example, a short opening sting, like an advert, to give a high impact start to your show. Some of the best events start this way and it also helps to ensure you have got everyone’s attention!

Sometimes there may be presenters that can’t attend so you could have them videoed prior to the event and then played back during the conference at the allotted segment.You will have no doubt seen this kind of video message in awards ceremonies and of course the world famous This Is Your Life program.

Not all presenters are comfortable with presenting, so a speaker coach may be a good idea, the coach will do as much or as little as is required. Usually they will come into your offices and asses the presenters, presentation techniques and will advise accordingly.Speaker coaches can be invaluable to the success of your event if your presenters are new to their role and do not have any public speaking experience.

If you are not sure what your conference requires from these components, then employing a conference producer from one of the event management companies may be the best thing to do as they will take care of everything for you.

However, if you decide to do it yourself, then below are some useful hints and tips to creating your own successful production.These tips are the culmination of over 25 years working as a conference producer.

Set and Staging

A conference set is usually a timber framed construction covered in a material of a colour that fits the client’s corporate colours, normally this would have an aperture in it for rear projection with a screen, the screen should be large enough for all of the audience to see the content on the screen without too much trouble.Remember, the larger the audience then the larger the screen needs to be.

The base of the screen, known as the under panel, needs to be at least 1.2m (5ft) to ensure the audience has a clear view over the heads of the people sat in front of them.
This is where the ceiling height comes into play. For example if you had a screen height of 2.5m, a screen base of 1.2m and a screen header, above the screen, of 300mm the minimum ceiling height required is 4m.

There are many different styles of set you can use, many companies have a stock set option which is pre-built, when it is used it is recovered to suit the client’s corporate branding. Other styles of set include a bespoke set where you consult a designer who will take a brief from you regarding the theme of the event and come up with a purpose built set with various options. This is of course more expensive compared to the standard stock set options. Provided you use a competent production company a stock set will do the job fine, unless you need something really different.

Whether you decide on a stock or bespoke set it is advisable to have some scale floor plans created to ensure all the elements fit into the available space and most production companies will do this in-house. if you went for the bespoke option you would receive some 3D drawings so you can visualise what the set will look like in the space where it is going to be located.

Once the set has been decided upon then the stage will also need to be included in the plans. The most cost effective stage option for corporate events is a standard stage the width of the set, which is normally about 2.5m deep and 450mm high.

The size also depends on what you want to have on stage during the conference, for example if you are going to have just one lectern or two, or if there is a requirement for a top table or some comfortable chairs and a coffee table.

Video Projection

Video projection is required if you want to put an image on the screen behind the speaker. The image can be data or video playback or indeed both. At small conferences this may just be a data projector and a laptop, controlled from the lectern, either with the client pushing buttons or with the help of a remote mouse so a presenter can move around the stage area freely.These are a great tool and whilst being relatively cheap to buy really help the presenter to get into their presentation!

You can also use a stage monitor screen so the presenter can see the slide changes without having to turn and look at the screen, the presenter should never have their back to the audience. To enable this you will require what we call a VCA DA this piece of equipment splits the signal from the laptop to both the projector and the stage monitor screen.

If the presenter is more akin to speaking than using a computer and doesn’t want to control their own slides then a cue light system can be used. This is a hand held controller that when pressed sends a signal to a light backstage and a technician then forwards the slides for the speaker.

If you want to play DVD’s you will require a DVD player with a preview monitor and a switcher. There are many different switchers you can use but it is recommended that if you’re going to play a lot of videos during your event then a good quality data switcher should be used.

So you’ve got your data projector, your cue light system, your stage monitor and your DVD playback.

How else might you improve upon the video projection element of your corporate events and further enhance the conference?

Recently I did an event which had a live camera feed. Much the same as you are used to seeing a music concerts, where there is a large screen showing the view from a live camera.

The client wanted this for two different reasons firstly there was a presenter that didn’t have any PowerPoint slides except a name slide, so when he was presenting we had a live camera feed on the screen so the audience had a more up close and personal experience with the presentation. Then we utilised the live camera feed during the question and answer session for the same effect. By using two cameras we were able to switch between the person asking the question and the speaker responding to the question so everyone could properly see and hear both the question and the answer.

The second reason was that the client wanted to use some footage for the internet like a webcast, to be run after the live event. Certain elements of the conference were edited out and compressed for the internet so that delegates who were unable to attend could get a feeling of the content of the conference|, simply by watching it on their PC’s}.

Sound System (Public Address PA)

The sound system can range from a couple of speakers and one microphone in a small conference for say 50 delegates, or multiple speakers and microphones for up to thousands of delegates.

The basic sound system requirements are speakers, amplifiers, microphones and a mixing desk.

The speakers are generally on stands, however if you are organising a large conference they may be able to be flown from truss above to give an even coverage in the centre of the room.

In the event that you do have a very large audience than a delay line is required, this ensures that the signal reaches all of the speakers in the various locations around the room, or venue, at the exact same time removing any echo.

There are various different types of microphones, the most commonly used these days are the tie clip radio microphones which enables the presenter the freedom to walk around the stage cable free.

If the presenters are going to stay at the lectern then lectern microphones which are wired are more suitable, as with most thing wired, lectern microphones are generally more reliable as they don’t have a radio frequency to worry about and batteries that need charging up.

With regards the amplifier, most professional amps will run four speakers so if you need eight speakers for good coverage then two amplifiers will be needed. When the amount of speakers and amplifiers is specified, the next piece of equipment required is a mixing desk, generally people who are doing their own event don’t plan for this, but it can be the one piece of crucial equipment that makes the difference between an amateur and a professional event.

The mixing desk takes in all the signals that need to be heard through the speakers, such as the microphones, CD players and video playback. Once the equipment is plugged into the Mixing console, a feed is taken out of the desk and into the amplifiers, then from the amplifier to the speakers.

After this has been done the sound engineer then equalises the system which in layman’s terms means making it sound good in areas of the room. A well equalised sound system will have the feeling for the delegate, that the presenter is seated next to them not shouting from the front of the room.

All mixing consoles have a basic equaliser on the unit itself, however a professional conference producer will know it is advisable to get a separate graphic equaliser which has more options on it.

In a very large room it is recommend having what is called a multicore which as the name suggests is a cable with multiple cores inside it that carries the signals up and down the room from the control position from front of house to the control position backstage.A multicore cable is a much tidier option and means you only have to run your cables once.

Lighting

Lighting is one of the most important visual elements of the conference. If you don’t have the luxury of a bespoke conference set then lighting can make all the difference.

There are several different types of lighting available, there is up-lighting normally provided by Par 64 floor cans, which you will recognise from seeing any professionally staged event. These can have coloured gel in them to add a set wash. There are also Fresnells which is a type of lamp which can hang from a truss or floor stand and again these can have a coloured gel in them to provide a set wash or coloured lighting effects. Profile lights are used to highlight elements of the set such as logos, steps or other details.

The most modern type of lamps on the market are LED lights. They are the most expensive type of lighting but they are worth it if you have the budget, the beauty of this type of lighting is that it can change colour at the press of a button|, which saves having to use gels to set the colour, and of course is a much more flexible for of lighting. I am sure you have seen LED lights being used all over the place these days, in torches, in mirrors, in cars, there are even some new cats eyes in the road that use LED lights.

Once the Lighting type and style is specified then it’s a good idea to get a lighting designer involved.

The designer will specify the type of lamp, where it should go, and what it’s going to do, if possible it’s best to hang lighting on a truss in front of the set, as opposed to using floor mounted stands. After the lighting has been decided on then it will need power, this usually comes from the venue supply via a dimmer rack to the lamps. A mixing console then controls the different stage effects which the lighting designer programs in.

Crew

The crew is very important as they pull all the elements of the show together, professional conference production companies will know the value of a crew communication system which comprises of headphones and belt packs for each crew member allowing them to communicate with each other, and the production manager or producer.

On larger shows we have a production manager and if required a conference producer, either one of these will show call, which means they will tell the crew what they should be doing and when they should be doing it. For example, when a video is due to be played they will let the video engineer, the sound engineer and the lighting engineers know in advance so they are ready when the caller say run VT.

When this happens the video will run, the audio will go up and the lights will come down.

Transportation

Again transportation is a crucial aspect of any event, or else how is everything you have ordered going to get there at the right time on the right day? The size of the vehicle is dependent on the size of the show, it can be anything from a transit size van up to an arctic with a 40ft trailer. It is the responsibility of the conference production company to decide on the type and size of transportation, but remember if you are booking a venue and it’s a large show that requires an arctic then make sure the vehicle can get into the loading bay! Fortunately it is not from my own experience that I have learnt this but from watching a competitor learn the it the hard way many years ago at an event I was working at!

In Summary

Organising a conference requires a lot of forward planning, the more you put in to it at the beginning the smoother it will run on the day.

Remember to look after your crew because they are the ones who enable it to all happen, look after your presenters because they are the ones it is happening for, and most importantly look after your delegates if you want it to happen to them again in the future.

We all know how sleep is an important factor in our lives. Without it, we won’t be able to do much. Most people would not believe that sleeping longer is an effective natural anti-aging treatment. After all, it’s something we have to do to reenergize our bodies. You find out how much you need sleep when you keep going days without getting enough. Not getting enough rest will prohibit you from functioning at your best. We are pretty much useless throughout the day. Aside from that, we are more irritable. Any little thing could set us off, and for the most trivial matters, we could get irritated.

Sleep is for more than just rest. One of the main functions of sleep is to allow your body to repair itself from the day’s activities. Doctors actually recommend that that we all get at least seven to nine hours of sleep every night. If you are worried about growing older, you need to be concerned about getting adequate hours of sleep each night. That, of course, is not true. In fact, the older we get, the more sleep we should have. And that’s a good natural anti aging remedy.

When you don’t get a great night’s rest, you end up forgetting things. Information will seem to go in one ear and out the other. That’s because sleep allows your brain to organize all the information it stores. And just as much as you want to sleep, some of you may find it hard to drift off to dreamland. Instead of taking medicine for it, try to get some direct sunlight during the day. When your body comes into contact with the sun’s heat, it produces melatonin, a chemical needed to sleep. Aside from that, you should also start exercising. Why exercise, because when your body uses up its energy, you will naturally feel tired.

Yes, sleep is an important part of life. When you take it for granted, you could see yourself aging faster. For those who have gone past their prime, this is, of course, the last thing you want. Getting adequate sleep will allow your body to function properly. in time you will notice that you look better and feel better about yourself.

Just to let you know, the body secretes more HGH when you enter into deep sleep. These hormones do the following for your body:

1. Improve your bone density making them stronger
2. Decrease body fat
3. Make you feel more active and youthful
4. Allow your body to repair itself
5. Regulate your metabolism

Simply put, these hormones work hard to make sure that your body functions at its optimal level. Tendency is that you will always feel alive and young. Likewise, your leptin hormone production decreases when your amount of sleep decreases. This hormone tells the brain when to stop eating and when it’s had enough. One of the best ways to increase your growth hormone production is by taking Sytropin HGH.

While getting more sleep is not the only way to help with antiaging it is certainly a cheap option to implement. To fully take care of your body and overall healthy, you also need to consider the time you spend for rest.

There are many ways to buy inexpensive engagement rings and still be a hero in your honey’s eyes.  The quality of the diamond (or diamonds) and their settings determine the price of the ring.  When and where you buy the ring are also important factors in determining how much you will ultimately spend for the ring. Being flexible with your time and place of purchase are important too.

If repugning the charge a solicitor will gather evidence to try to demonstrate the innocence of their client. Lawyers are crucial in granting the charged a fair trial, and making sure the individual is not wrongly convicted. Those who admit guilt might still desire legal help; to attempt to receive the best, or least worst, viable penalisation.

Coming down to Argentina for seven to eight days only does not give you enough time to see much, in fact at best you can visit couple places, first of which if arriving from North America will likely be Buenos Aires. Most people are lured by Patagonia combine visit of Buenos Aires with a short trek in Torres del Paine. That is fine and but these two stops is all that can be done on this short amount of time.

To add more stops you need more time. With ideally two weeks, you can add two more stops on your tour of Argentina. After touring Retiro, Palermo, downtown of Buenos Aires, Puerto Madero, San Telmo, Recoleta and La Boca, and seeing at least one tango show, you can then fly to Puerto Madryn to see whales and penguins. Peninsula Valdes is definitely the place to see and it is also half way down to Ushuaia in Southern Patagonia, the second stop you can add.

Ushuaia is your starting point for a full day excursion of trekking and canoeing in the Tierra del Fuego National Park. To make best of your trip to Southern Patagonia, you need two days there minimum and on your second day go on a navigation tour of the Beagle Channel.

Your last stop could either be a trek in Torres del Paine or at least a visit to Punta Arenas and Puorto Natales, for your glimpse of Chilean Patagonia and that’s it, you will be out of time – you definitively do not have time to tour Chile beyond.

Alternatively, from Ushuaia you could fly to El Calafate and from there make a rewarding excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier. The next day you could visit Upsala and Onelli Glaciers and return to Buenos Aires after that.

For a change in scenery, feeling you may have had enough of Patagonia after your stops in the very south, you could head for the extreme north of Argentina to the magnificent Iguazu National Park, and tour the Argentine as well as Brazilian sides of the impressive Iguazu Falls.

All in all four, maximum five stops, is all you can do with 14 days in Argentina. Keep on mind that the fifth stop will definitely add to your overall tour costs, and your trip will also be more hurried. Best keep your trip to Argentina to four stops only and you will get more enjoyment from your journey. To see more there is always next time.

If you are ina motor vehicle accident, you may be staring at a huge financial burden. If you do not have adequate automobile insurance liability coverage, this accident can become very costly very quickly.  In fact, it will get much worst if you are the cause of the accident.  In such a case, your liability may extend to, but not limited to the following costs.  These include legal costs, and investigative charges.

You may be responsible for emergency aid at the scene of the accident. You could also be responsible for medical expenses for bodily injury to the other driver and passengers.  Some health-related expenses may extend to many months after the actual accident.  But that is not all. Your liability may extend to funeral expenses, in the case of death as a result of this accident.  Automobile insurance liability is not as simple as many people would like to make it look.

But automobile insurance liability coverage is not always a one-cap-fit-all situation. Before you buy any type of vehicle insurance, it is best to either talk to an expert about it, or seek out an idependent insurance agent who can advise you based on his or her expertise and knowledge.  (The more you know, the better decisions you will make|The more educated you are about automobile insurance, the better the decisions you will make}.

Unfortunately, too many insurance buyers buy the least amount of insurance that is required by the government.  This is not always a good choice.  Many drivers have purchased the least amount of liability coverage only to find that it is not enough. The savings in premium made over a few years may be wiped out by and eclipsed by a single accident.  It is best to be prepared by getting the best automobile insurance liability coverage you can find.

Since then, considerable refinements and tweaks have been made along the way, including—yes—more gadgets. For 2001, Cadillac introduces a Web-driven Infotainment system, air suspension kits and high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights to the options list. A new-generation rain-sensing wiper system is standard. A new, optional Infotainment audio system is integrated with the available navigation system’s display screen, featuring e-mail capability, an integrated cell phone, a voice-recognition system, and a memo recorder. Standard OnStar services now include hands-free cellphone capabilities and the Virtual Advisor, a feature that offers Internet-based information. Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist, included with the luxury package on our car, uses a series of three LEDs and visual cues to indicate the distance to an obstacle behind the car while in reverse.

When Cadillac first launched the STS for 1998, it was aiming to stretch Seville’s appeal to younger, affluent, internationally-versed buyers—those who normally wouldn’t consider a trip to the Cadillac dealership. Seville STS models are sold throughout the world, in left- and right- hand drive versions, but if the public’s reaction to our sleek STS was any indication of where the demographics really are at home in America, Seville’s appeal remains strongest with traditional Caddy customers. We saw it everywhere: White-haired senior citizens would turn around and gape hungrily at the STS. Most of them were behind the wheel of a LeSabre, Continental, LHS, or other American luxo-boat—definitely not the BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Lexus drivers that Cadillac Seville air suspension. The STS seems to be the envy of older men everywhere.

And now that the Escalade has stolen center stage at Cadillac, earning fame in hip-hop lyrics and entering the Gen-Y pop-culture vernacular, it seems the flagship Seville’s been sidelined by an SUV. Unthinkable! Although the Seville STS hasn’t been a major threat to German luxury heavyweights Mercedes-Benz and BMW, under its conservative guise the STS is a formidable, American-bred Autobahn stormer. The current Seville was heralded as a technology powerhouse on wheels, and that hasn’t changed for 2001, as Cadillac suspension continues to pile on the tech goodies. The STS made its mark as GM’s technology showcase, with gadgets such as adaptive air-cell seats, the Stabilitrak skid-control system, and a performance shift algorithm for its automatic transmission.
