Question

You have been assigned to lead a project to host a three-day regional conference for high school softball coaches. The conference will have a Friday evening keynote session, breakout sessions all day on Saturday and on Sunday morning. The conference will finish with an afternoon reception before everyone heads home. The softball season usually runs from February through the end of May, so you will need a target date outside of those months. You anticipate attendance numbers of around 450 to 500 coaches. If you select a family destination for the event, you must plan on the possibility that their families may join them on the trip. The conference will need a keynote speaker for the opening general session and a sufficiently informative agenda for coaches to see the event as worthwhile. Using online research, complete the following tasks: 1. List five criteria you would use in selecting a conference venue. 2. Select your target city for the conference and explain the criteria you used to identify that location. 3. Identify any available sports organizations that may be available to help you in preparing your agenda for the conference. 4. Identify five different topics for the Saturday and Sunday breakout sessions to be offered in two tracks. 5. The local chamber of commerce will be available to help you in your chosen destination. In anticipation of attending the next chamber meeting, prepare the following: a. an information packet outlining a summary of the conference and a proposed agenda to be given to meeting attendees b. a brief slideshow presentation that summarizes key points about the conference and promotes how the city will benefit from the visitor dollars of the coaches that will be attending 6. Explain how you would find a keynote speaker for Friday night’s general session, and research a source to help you estimate what that speaker’s fee would probably be.

Answer 1

well first its cost: vary in price range based on their experience and the length of the conference or event. In general, professional speakers (non-celebrities) range from $1,500 to $30,000 for an event. For example, Pro Speak has most of its speakers available in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. Second you would find them at a store or online
