If the payment of poster prizes has taught me one thing, it's how easy it is to make bank transfers to different countries

While the delegates reconvene for their sessions, we observe a curious ritual: The organiser discovered the dessert table, abandoned but plentiful. This is his moment. He approaches. After all, it's one of nature's most delicious compensations for those who orchestrate such gatherings.

Yes, they do.

Even in 'flawless' events.

You just don't notice them.

This is because the fix or improvisation was executed so well. There's no shame in it; it's just a sign that you have a good event organiser.

Stage is set, Poster Boards are up, drinks are served and the Check-in is ready to go. And we even have a sunny 22°C in Berlin!

Looking forward so much to welcoming everyone to the #7thECVM

Today's #ConferenceTip is so simple, yet so often overlooked!

In today's episode of Fun at Work: We're making the first prototype of our upgraded "Check-in-Set" for conferences!🥳

The biggest improvement (besides the lovely color!): An upright scanner, meaning no more auto-turning of tickets on mobile phones!

Also part of the life of a #conference organiser:

Delivering the backup name badges at the last minute on a public holiday because your parcel service has lost the shipment and the conference starts tomorrow morning⏰😱

Who remembers the little badges that had to have the event logo, sponsors logos and first and last names on them? Preferably framed by ALL academic titles and the university?😂

Fortunately, (double-sided) A6 name tags offer plenty of space for clearly readable names...

"Demokratie wählen" ist in knapp drei Wochen wichtiger denn je.

Und ich ergänze:"Demokrat:innen wählen, die sicher nicht mit Rechtsextremen kooperieren und koalieren!"

Often organisers and #eventprofs get carried away in their quest for the perfect looking agenda. One more session here, another group activity there. Why not start an hour earlier if everything is set up the day before? Because...

In times of tight public budgets, #sponsoring is all the more important for financing conferences. But I don't want to turn my conferences into a bazaar.

Four tips for finding suitable sponsors, without commercialising your own scientific event beyond your values.

When booking a location, it’s tempting to focus on the room hire cost alone. But the price tag doesn’t tell the whole story.

Before booking, take a closer look at what's really in the package. 3 details to look at to save time, stress and money in the long run✔️💰

No, 10 minutes are simply - not - a coffeebreak!

When was the last #conference you missed your coffee and sprinted down hallways because of a break being too short?

In the middle of organising your conference, you barely fancy talking about financing plans, and taxes.

But it can save you from pleasures like mass-correcting invoices, too-low funds, or false tendering procedures.

Make your life easier, talk about money early!

Want to charge your devices while leaving your hotel room? Use an old credit card, gift card or simply fold some paper - almost everything does the job.

Not quite a #ConferenceTip in terms of organising one. But hopefully useful here and there nonetheless;)

Do you have more useful tips?

Wenig lässt einen Tag schöner starten als ein liebevolles „Zugbindung aufgehoben“ der Deutschen Bahn♥️

This happens way to often imho...

Handing over a working and tested stage to your fellow presenters helps to calm them down and give a stunning presentation.

So, take care of your tech and your speakers🎤 They'll thank you #ConferenceTip #EventManagement
