16 Actions & Inactions We Don’t Recommend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not everything worked out all the time.<\/strong> We love our finished product, we’ve enjoyed a lot of success, and our Staff worked really well together during the weekend, but there were many actions and inactions we wouldn’t recommend to anyone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Going <\/strong>through Orientation with Central<\/a> less than six months from our preferred event dates<\/li>
  2. Letting<\/strong> fear guide our decision making<\/li>
  3. Submitting<\/strong> inflexible venue RFPs<\/li>
  4. Micromanaging<\/strong> instead of project managing<\/li>
  5. Adding<\/strong> unnecessary complexity to simple systems, processes, and decisions<\/li>
  6. Stalling<\/strong> completely during periods of seemingly fruitless research or circular disagreement<\/li>
  7. Avoiding<\/strong> addressing interpersonal issues, including ignoring or excusing bullying and negligence<\/li>
  8. Bearing<\/strong> the burden of other people’s responsibilities without providing negative feedback<\/li>
  9. Launching<\/strong> Micro-Sponsorships and releasing tickets before understanding either – and their connection<\/li>
  10. Asking<\/strong> lunch-related questions after tickets had been purchased<\/li>
  11. Procrastinating<\/strong> in general, but especially on finalizing print designs, which resulted in the only eleventh hour emergency<\/li>
  12. Delaying<\/strong> the certificate of insurance approval process between our main venue and on-site vendors until two weeks before the event<\/li>
  13. Forgetting<\/strong> to design a bathroom sign for the Sponsor Gallery and allergen-free signs for our afternoon snacks and After Party desserts <\/li>
  14. Neglecting<\/strong> to do thorough inventories of all the tangibles – especially shirts and print materials – until right before the event or not at all<\/li>
  15. Coding<\/strong> t-shirt sizes in a way that was easy to decipher<\/li>
  16. Keeping<\/strong> Organizer walkie talkies on in session rooms during talks<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
