Guide to planning a successful event…
Do you want to ensure the success of an event you're arranging on Slack?
Here are some pointers to assist you:
Clearly state your objectives: What do you want to achieve with this event? By clearly understanding your objectives, you can plan an event that lives up to your expectations.
Select the appropriate format: Would hosting a live event fit your needs more than hosting a pre-recorded event? When selecting a format, keep in mind the objectives of your event and the target audience.
Invite suitable people: Make sure to extend invitations to those who will find your event attractive. Use tailored messages and unique invites to spread the word and promote attendance.Promote the event: Use social media, Slack channels, and other communication channels to publicise your event and generate interest in it.Plan B: Since technology may be unexpected, it's always a good idea to have a fallback strategy. Create a backup plan so you can easily change course if necessary.
You may successfully organise a Slack event that entertains and engages your audience by using these ways.
Execute your event like a pro!!!
Setting the stage is crucial in the first place. To do this, establish a channel for your event and personalise it with a banner and emojis to give it a unique flair. This will boost attendance' engagement by making them feel unique and part of the event.
Next, maintain order by utilising threads to keep the discussion orderly and make it simple for participants to access information and stay current. The agenda tool helps you keep your event on track and ensure all relevant issues are covered.
Engage your audience and promote involvement if you want your event to succeed. Make the event feel participatory by using polls and emoji reactions. Throughout the event, communicate with guests by asking them questions.
Remember to follow up with participants after the event to express gratitude for their participation and seek any feedback. You may use this to enhance subsequent events and maintain audience interest.
Maintain the ‘after-event’ charm!!
Ever got that “reached?” text from a close one after you leave for home?
That gives you a heads-up that the person genuinely cares.
Similarly, when the event is concluded- one must always:
- Reach out with appreciation to the speakers, hosts, attendees, and every other person who was a part of it.
- Ask for honest feedback and try to improve.
- Create buzz all over the internet and mention highlights to gain more audience.
Organising an online event is no small feat. Planning, promoting, and executing an event requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and keen wit! Take a breather – You’ve put in a significant amount of effort in the run-up to the event and the event itself; it’s essential to take some time to relax, reflect on the event and be proud of your achievement.
