1. Manage Event Logistics, Including Guest Speaker Coordination, Live-Streaming Setup, and Participant Registration

Objective:
The primary focus during the event dates is to manage logistics to ensure that every aspect runs smoothly. This includes coordinating with speakers, setting up live-streaming platforms, and overseeing the registration process to ensure a seamless experience for all participants.

Tasks:

• Guest Speaker Coordination:
  • Pre-event Coordination:
    • Confirm the final schedule and expectations with guest speakers, ensuring they are aware of their speaking times, topics, and session formats (keynote or panel).
    • Ensure that all speakers have access to the necessary materials (e.g., presentation slides, moderator scripts) and are comfortable with the technical setup (e.g., microphones, cameras, etc.).
    • Provide speakers with a clear understanding of their roles during the event and ensure they are on schedule to start and finish as planned.
  • On-Site or Virtual Coordination:
    • Ensure guest speakers arrive on time for in-person events, with check-in procedures in place.
    • For virtual events, make sure speakers are logged into the platform on time and are familiar with the virtual setup (e.g., managing the Zoom/streaming tool, muting/unmuting).
    • Assign a dedicated point of contact for each speaker to handle any last-minute changes or needs.
    • Provide assistance with any presentation issues or technical glitches, ensuring a smooth flow during the speaker’s presentation.
• Live-Streaming Setup:
  • Platform Setup:
    • Verify that the live-streaming platform is configured correctly and ready for a high-quality stream. This includes ensuring that all audio and video equipment is functional, internet bandwidth is sufficient, and the correct streaming links are provided to virtual attendees.
    • Set up the event on the platform, including live-stream links for attendees to access the event in real-time. Ensure all elements like chat rooms, Q&A, polls, or live feedback options are functional.
  • Technical Support:
    • Have a technical support team on standby to manage live-streaming issues (e.g., buffering, connection drops, audio or video malfunctions).
    • Ensure the streaming platform provides clear instructions for participants on how to engage in the virtual event (e.g., where to ask questions, how to participate in live polls).
  • Test Runs:
    • Conduct a final technical test run for both physical and virtual components before the event starts. This includes checking the live-streaming platform’s capacity, verifying that all links are working, and ensuring that all equipment used by speakers, panelists, and attendees is functioning properly.
• Participant Registration:
  • Check-in Process:
    • Organize the registration desk for in-person attendees, ensuring that all guests are checked in promptly. This includes ensuring that attendee badges or tickets are readily available, and directing them to the correct areas of the venue.
    • For virtual attendees, confirm that the online registration process is functioning smoothly and that the platform has the correct access links for all registrants.
  • Support Desk:
    • Set up a registration help desk to assist attendees with any issues related to registration (e.g., lost tickets, event access problems).
    • Ensure that virtual participants have access to customer support or a troubleshooting team for issues related to the streaming platform or login difficulties.

2. Oversee the Smooth Execution of Each Segment of the Event, Ensuring All Elements Are on Schedule

Objective:
To ensure that the event progresses as planned, sticking to the designated timeline, and that all segments, including keynotes, panel discussions, and award presentations, run smoothly without delays.

Tasks:

• Schedule Management:
  • Coordinate with the event team to track the progress of each session, ensuring all segments (keynote speakers, panel discussions, award presentations, etc.) start and end on time.
  • Continuously monitor the timeline and adjust if necessary to accommodate any unforeseen delays while maintaining the event’s overall flow.
• Coordination of Segments:
  • Ensure smooth transitions between segments by coordinating with speakers, panelists, and technical teams to prepare for each new segment (e.g., switching to the next speaker or setting up the award presentation).
  • For virtual events, coordinate with the technical team to switch between live-streaming sessions, speaker views, and interactive segments (e.g., live polling, Q&A sessions).
• Audience Engagement:
  • Engage both in-person and virtual attendees by encouraging participation in Q&A sessions, polls, and discussions. For virtual attendees, monitor the chat, ensuring questions and feedback are addressed promptly.
  • Maintain communication with the in-person audience to ensure they are following the event flow and are engaged throughout the sessions.
• Contingency Planning:
  • Be ready with contingency plans in case of delays or technical difficulties (e.g., provide backup speakers or topics in case of a last-minute issue).
  • If necessary, keep the audience entertained with on-the-spot networking activities, sponsor messages, or interactive content during any lulls in the event flow.

3. Provide On-Site or Virtual Assistance to Ensure a Seamless Experience for Attendees

Objective:
Ensure that attendees, whether in-person or virtual, have a positive and seamless experience throughout the event, addressing any issues promptly and ensuring they feel welcomed and supported.

Tasks:

• In-Person Attendees:
  • Ensure that attendees are greeted upon arrival and that they are provided with all necessary materials (e.g., event schedules, handouts, attendee badges).
  • Set up clear signage to guide attendees to the various event areas (e.g., keynote hall, breakout rooms, restrooms, networking areas).
  • Be available on-site to answer any questions attendees may have, assist with directions, and ensure the event space is comfortable (e.g., temperature, seating arrangements).
• Virtual Attendees:
  • Provide virtual participants with a smooth digital experience by ensuring they can easily navigate the online platform. This includes providing a clear agenda, access to relevant content, and an easy way to interact with speakers or ask questions.
  • Assign virtual helpdesk personnel to assist attendees with any issues (e.g., technical support for logging in or viewing the stream, clarifying event details, etc.).
  • Engage virtual attendees through live polls, interactive Q&A, or chat functions to keep them involved and ensure they feel included.
• Technical Support:
  • Set up a dedicated team to assist both in-person and virtual attendees with any technical or logistical concerns that arise.
  • Ensure seamless communication between event staff, speakers, and technical teams to quickly resolve any potential issues (e.g., microphone problems, video disruptions, login errors).
  • For virtual attendees, provide clear instructions on how to engage with the event, and have a troubleshooting guide available for common issues (e.g., poor video quality, difficulty navigating the event platform).
• Monitoring Attendee Experience:
  • Use event feedback tools, such as live polls or surveys, to assess attendee satisfaction and make real-time improvements where necessary.
  • Track engagement metrics from the virtual platform (e.g., participant activity, attendance numbers, engagement levels) to identify potential areas of improvement during the event.
