Making Planning Pain Free and Productive
Hardy Smith

 

Planning is a critical component to building event and organizational success.  Yet despite knowing the benefits of good planning, many association and nonprofit leaders avoid essential planning exercises.  They do so mainly because previous planning activity has either proven to be a negative experience or has produced plans that aren’t used – or both.

At FFEA’s Annual Conference Hardy Smith will show event organizers how to develop a planning process that is both pain free and productive. These specific takeaways will be shared:

  • How to avoid planning process mistakes.
  • How to create participation engagement from your planning team.
  • How to develop a successful and stress free planning activity.
  • How produce an implementable plan.
