Is there an overall theme to the event? Will you be presenting and/or manning a stand? Will the event organiser provide you with delegate MI (names and firms) prior to the event? Is the objective to generate leads? What is your strategy for identifying potential leads? Are you going to do a business card draw? This requires purchasing a prize and obtaining a prize draw box. Do you need a poster or terms and conditions to promote the draw? What prize will you offer? A bottle of wine is usually a suitable prize for smaller events. At larger national events you could offer something more expensive such as an iPad or iPod with agreement from your Head of Department. How will the event be communicated/promoted to delegates? Will there be promotional articles or flyers that can be PruProtect branded? Do you need to provide additional branding at the event? Will there be targeted telephone advertising prior to the event? Will you need to send reminder emails or invitations to your panel and/or other relevant people? Can delegates be directed to a website for more information? Do they need to register? Will the event qualify attendees for CPD points? Will the event organiser provide CPD recording sheets and feedback forms?
