Would like to organise an IM event, and was wondering what exactly goes into organising a successful Internet Marketing event? Time from actual, date of event, how to negotiate the cost. Speakers, how to get speakers involved, should it be a day's event, half a day all sorts of questions. Should I charge if not how will I get my money back and so forth, any ideas welcome.

    hi Taffie,

    I don't think you should charge a gate fee for your first IM event at least until you have established yourself. You can recooperate your money back by pitching some kind of related offer to your presentation at the even.

    What goes into organizing an event?
    you adequate space which you might already have.
    nametags
    projected connected to a computer running powerpoint if you want to go that route.
    chairs/tables/way to collect your guests info.
    refreshments- optional
    marketing for the event itself - meetup.com/warriorforum/posters etc

    hope it goes well

    I have done over 300 events plenty where internet marketing topics had over 200+ experts on stage over the years, it's complex not sure how to explain it here. The best way I would say is to get an event book read that come back post specific questions. My first event I had 100+ people there and things went bad from the PA system not working to AC not working people demanding this and that I was not ready for etc. And I did read a book but that will not cover it. The sad truth is to learn it you have to do it, but it helps to go through a book or course first just so you have an idea of the scope how complicated it can be.

    One more thing I did was a attend a few and just took notes, but their event where perfect you might want to attend some that suck so you can see what you can do better.
