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.
