On the following pages you will find find time to meeting planning and tested procedures and helpful tips for dealing with all these scenarios and more.
Meeting Rooms
If a voter is at the back of the room without a seat nearby, then you have your work is not done is what everyone in a prompt, efficient and polite to take place. To achieve this goal, use the following strategies:
• Place the front of the first room, with the exception of seats for VIPs andspeakers.
• If there are side doors, open the front-most door first and direct delegates to the front seats.
• To prevent people from going down the aisle, stand in the middle of the aisle and point to where you would like them to go. Don’t argue with insistent guests, however, if they choose to move down the aisle.
• As the front fills, close the front-most door and open the next door. Continue this procedure until all but the back of the room is filled.
• Tape or ribbon, reserved by the seats furthest from the speaker and the closest to the back door or the use of characters to keep the integrity of this area - about one tenth of the chairs in the room.
• Finally, after the other seats are occupied or have begun the session, remove all tape, ribbons, and signs and store the rear seats for late arrival. Be sure to place a conference room signs through the backdoor when the meeting has begun.
For large groups, station a person inbefore the doors remain closed and a person at the entrance that is to be invoked to automatically direct traffic to the desired door. Employees stationed in the room decide to open when the next door and stationed its decision on walkie - talkie employees outside the room. When the next door opens, the coordinator steps into the river and leads the delegates in the new door. Inside, employees makethe road to the new door and seats more people. walkie-talkies, and many coordinators or assistant for large group movements of crucial importance.
Coffee Breaks
• Never have open stations in the vicinity of the doors of a meeting room. If it is unavoidable for reasons of space, keep these stations closed and direct delegates of the first most stations.
• When setting up the stations, always the people from the direction and position the stations so thatMovement away from the meeting rooms.
• Plan the stations so that visitors Do not stop moving until they get to their coffee or hot water. Place tea bags, sugar and cream just below coffee or hot water, so they need coffee can move freely only by the management. Make regular first cup of coffee, decaffeinated seconds, and sufficient hot water.
• Put soft drinks and snacks (if applicable) on separate tables. Arrange items in the correct order - glasses, then ice,then soda.
• If it is necessary to have a quick break and labor costs are not a problem that can be poured coffee from servers. Again, tea bags, sugar and cream to keep downstream.
• Make sure that the end of the stream is an outlet - you may not be the end of the station into a wall, escalator or impasse. Keep stops from toilets.
• When going from an AGM meeting, breakout sessions, or vice versa, always trying to find the pause before the nextchronological goal. If you go in bursts, which are removed from the General Assembly lobby, to set, for example, the coffee break in the breakout area.
• In a situation could, in the remote outbreaks and the meeting will also be used, you have a problem when visitors go to the remote reserve outbreaks attack the coffee station for the general breakout session. To solve this problem, have the speakers are sorry for the breakout session first visitors and keep the generalMeeting lounge stations closed happen to these people. Then, once the first group has left the room, send the second group (the return to the general meeting) to the break just outside the room.
Cocktail parties
Meeting planners must be active to ensure that their events have the right space and design. Of course, the nature of the cocktail party and the number of hors d'oeuvres stations, entertainment options, and props great influence on the layout designand flow of space. The following guidelines apply to all types of cocktail receptions.
• Do not position bars near doors.
• Food stations should not overlap or run into bars.
• Avoid the high-density bar areas - four or more bars back to back is not a good idea.
• Make Beer and wine bars at major events and outdoor events.
• Put together place away from heavily trafficked areas and groups of the seat. Do not spread it out so that the trafficforced to this place.
• Always create large areas for traffic between the territories of the function.
• For large groups, guests move to the back of the room not through the first opening bars and food stations closest to the entrance have entered only after the majority of visitors.
Moving People To Dinner
For dinner buffet - Target: No long queues
• Only move to keep as many people as necessary, from the cocktail party buffet lines full. "Bleed"Visitors away from the front by only the closest to the exit area or dinner, the buffet is open. They are likely (thank you and move quickly.) When the lines become shorter, repeat this process with the next group closest to the exit.
• Close all the bars is up to the buffet ready. Close bars nearest buffet first.
• Always discuss your plans with staff, to ensure that the flow control.
• Never use torches or nothingabout leaving all the guests to the reception at the same time.
To sit-down dinner --
Goal: as soon Seat Food service can be started.
There are several techniques that work.
• Close all the bars at the same time. (Still a "last call" before using this method.) If a bar is closed, is a tablecloth over the bar and the bartender steps to the side.
• Perform a final call, then signal delegates, the dinner is by flashing lights or by serving ExitMusic.
• In each scenario, encourage people to leave the furthest from the exit doors for the first event to have their choice of seats. As they go through the party, others noted the motion and is also their way into the dining room.
• The use of these techniques to be always polite, not dictatorial. They seem aware that courtesy and warmth miracle.
Seated People at Food Features
Seated people on food functions is crucial, especially forlarger groups. Keep these rules three if seating several hundred or more in assigned seats:
1. Make larger ducts to move the masses more easily through the room. The "filter through" method (no cross aisles) is a disaster for the guaranteed 500 or more guests.
2. Line up banquet team in the aisles before arrival directly to the vastness of space. If early arrival at the tables sit next to the entrance, blocking the crossings needed to moveVisitors on the back. (Note: To force Reserved signs on the tables nearest the door, the man in the back. They met as removing the space.)
3. Use as many inputs as possible, with several courses, if possible in combination.
Reserved Seating Events
Reserved Seating events require a great use of manpower and signage for groups of 800 or more. The first challenge is that people enter the right door, which minimizes the round room looking for the correct tableNumbers.
To achieve this goal, the following guidelines:
• Place large reproductions of the room layout, with table numbers, at eye level in the reception area.
• Hang a sign on each door to the ballroom table shows the numbers that can be found by entering through that particular door.
• Position employees outside of each door with a list of seats allocated.
• You can even color code each area of the room (with balloons,Tablecloths, or banner) and brings an appropriate color sticker on the name of each participant's badge. This tactic is to jump right to the area. Numbers are then necessary to help them, the right table.
