A selected venue needs to meets the expectations of the stakeholders and fit with our knowledge of what will work best. The contract needs to include every necessary detail to protect the involved parties. And then there’s all the rest! Executing the event, planning for contingencies (weather – good and bad!), safe food and beverage, finding appropriate speakers and entertainment, and ensuring the safety of those who attend.
