When attendees arrive at an event what do you do?
· Sit patiently at the registration desk for new arrivals to approach you?
· Let the directional signs do their job and wait in the main presentation room?
· Do you recognize an attendee and spark up a chat with that one person?
During an event our daily instincts might take over and we can forget best practice behaviours. If you act like a stranger as attendees arrive you are dooming your event to an awkward beginning.
Remember these “To Dos” as your event registrants roll in:
Avoiding the awkward moments before an event begins requires that you have your host/ess hat on from the moment attendees descend on your event venue. Making people comfortable will ease a natural and productive event execution while also setting the foundations for a trusting business relationship.
