A little series of episodes has occurred over the last few weeks which highlights just how important the venue and the organisation of the facilities is for any professional presenter.
A very large financial institution who shall remain nameless seems to have got it into it's head that when running courses you should have an events organisation AND a training organisation to put on courses.
And guess what, its a mess every time. The trainers arrive to find the venue staff have little or no idea of the number of rooms, the layout and equipment needed or that the trainer will need a little time to set up. So we find ourselves arranging matters the night before with the venue staff who have been left in the dark.
The event organiser and trainer either need to work closely with maybe some co-ordination by the client training manager (part of their role?) or we can loose the event organiser to save money that would be better spent on keeping highly experience presenters and trainers happy!
Too much delegation I think.
For all those business people who care about how effectively they present their company, its products and services as well as themselves
