LEAD-IN A CONFERENCE. WHAT IS THIS? www.colormarketing.org Generate your ideas about the notion «Conference». Make up a mind map. READING COMPREHENTION Here are some general pieces of advice from people who frequently attend conferences. A lot of them sound very controversial. Read them with your partner paying attention to the collocations in bold type, figure out their meaning from the context. - Spend all your time reading the conference proceedings. When else can you expect to find time to do it? - Never skip a talk that is outside your area of interest. After all, what else would you do with the time? Waste it chit-chatting with others in the hall? - Hang out only with people from your institutions. These are your friends and, after all, a conference is just a holiday. Who wants to meet new collaborators anyway? - If you do talk to others, spend all your time bragging about your work. Don’t stick to the facts and let them judge. Draw conclusions for them, so that they will be impressed. - Never try to draw others out about their work or experiences. This could confuse you with new information! - Always wait for people to walk up to you. All will naturally be drawn to you, particularly if you stand against a wall. - Ask many public questions at the end of talks. If each of 250 people asked one question at the end of one of 25 talks, that would make 10 questions per talk. Make sure that you get way more than your fair shearer, so people remember you fondly. - Never consider another person’s feelings except when targeting questions to embarrass them. A great question for this is: “This work adds nothing to the work I did three years ago”. The speaker will become a friend for life and people will remember you fondly as a zealous truth seeker. - Make your questions long and rambling. After all, everyone has paid their conference registration fees, so give them their money’s worth. - Ask multiple questions and follow up with several additional questions. People will be impressed with your attention to detail and perseverance to learn the truth. - Ask questions that make the speaker defend their work as soon as they put up their outline slide. Everyone in the audience already understands their work and will appreciate you getting straight to the point.

Be sure to take part in the debate or discussion.
Programme Anyone who has tried to organize a conference knows that the hardest thing to establish is the programme. This often goes through several different stages or order of speakers before being finished. One effective way of controlling this variability might be:
· Set out the aims of the conference and its format (symposium, workshop, round-table, etc.).
· Release the call for papers and send all personal invitations. · Collect abstracts from speakers (rejecting - if necessary - those extraneous to the conference subject or devoid of any academic relevance) and confirmations of availability from chairs. · Verify what technical devices each speaker needs. · Verify if and how many overseas speakers you can afford. · Divide speakers (and chairs) into coherent sessions on the basis of the subject of their paper, taking into account the technical devices they asked for when assigning the rooms and remembering to allow time for questions and for refreshments breaks. · Send speakers and chairs the draft programme and ask them for confirmation. · Type and release the definitive programme. At that point, your programme should not change any more, but it is possible (or rather, probable) that this will turn out to be necessary. This is the reason why you should not remain without a contingency plan. Call for papers Researchers regularly receive – directly or indirectly – 'calls for papers’, which means that yours will have to be catchy, neat and informative if you want to attract their interest. It should indicate in the clearest way:
As to its dissemination, it should be sent to
· specialized mailing lists and newsgroups Conference pack Even if some of your conference participants know each other, they are unlikely to be familiar with the host institution, so it is important that you offer them a conference pack as soon as they arrive. This kind of pack should include:
And may include:
Conference offices You can plan a conference by yourself, but you cannot conduct it alone: you need some assistance. You can obviously ask your postgraduate colleagues for help, but if you do not get any positive support, try to turn to your own home institution (or, to the institution that is going to house the conference), since many academic institutions offer this kind of service through a central conference office. You can delegate any duty from the early stages, but some help becomes absolutely essential when the conference starts, since at that stage you will not be able to deal with everything by yourself. During the conference Once the machinery has been set in motion, you should be able to reduce your tasks to:
if possible leaving to assistants (postgraduate students, friends who offered their help) the duty of
After the conference A conference is only finished on the last day of its programme for the speakers. For organizers its conclusion simply marks the beginning of a new series of tasks to be carried out. You must take care in particular of three bodies: your institution and any other sponsor, speakers and the research community.
Read the tip on critical path analysis. Tip Critical Path Analysis This is a way of planning a project so that it can be carried out in the shortest possible time. It involves: Ø Making a schedule covering all activities in the project Ø Deciding how long each activity will take Ø Setting realizable deadlines for each activity Ø Deciding how activities relate to each other
You specialize in organizing conferences. The World Computer Games Confederation wants you to organize next year’s award ceremony (‘the Oscars of computer games’). The WCGC has asked you to find a suitable venue (e.g. hotel, famous building) to arrange entertainment and a charity dinner on the night of the ceremony. Tickets cost $2,000 each and about 800 guests are expected. The event will be hosted by the famous comedian Sammy Webb.
‘to do’ list 1) send out requests for prize nominations (two weeks) 2) deadline for nominations (six weeks after requests sent out) 3) print invitations (two weeks) 4) make a shortlist of venues (two weeks) 5) make final selection of venue with sponsor (one week) 6) book venue (eight months notice usually required) 7) approach caterers to tender for charity dinner (two months before the event) 8) decide menu and check with sponsors (two weeks) 9) produce and print tickets and programmes (three weeks) 10) invite celebrities to present the different awards (six months before the event) 11) send out tickets and programmes (eight weeks before the event) 12) decorate and arrange venue (one week) 13) contact TV chains about filming awards (as soon as the date and venue are know) 14) visit venues and ask for quotations (six weeks) 15) advertise event in trade magazines (five months before the event)
