Conference Planning Home
Group Rates
- Hotels will give a group rate for groups >10 rooms
- You will need to guarantee that you will purchase at least 8 of the rooms (for the Hilton in College Station)
- This means you need to ensure you have the money available to ensure that you can do this
Arranging rooms
- Networking events held at hotels can be loud,
- Getting a block of rooms around the room where these kind of events will keep the hotel and other guests happy with you
- However, not all speakers will wish to particpate, so make sure that you have rooms in your block available that are far away from the louder block.
Networking Events
- Make sure you conform with any rules regarding alcohol
- Easiest solution is to keep any kind of networking event distinct and separate from the actual conference
- Make sure that the conference name is not on any flyer related to the networking event
- Make sure that there are options for things to do for those students who do not drink, or do not like those kind of events.
- Ensure that everyone in attendance is aware that they should use good judgement when taking photos and making them available.
- Have backup plans of where you can go. Night-time events can be a highlight of a conference, its important to keep things moving smoothely.
