For the past few months, the MRS team has been diligently working to prepare for one of our best experiential activations that will take place during the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage. An event of this magnitude requires months of planning. It is imperative to start this planning months before the event. You never want to be in a rush. Over the past year, we have become increasingly knowledgeable in this space. Below are some tips we believe will be useful in planning your next event:

1. Make a list of everything that needs to be done before you leave for the event. Making a list will assist you in prioritizing tasks.
2. Develop a timeline and consistently refer to it so you can stay on track.
3. Create a document that details what needs to happen before the event, what happens during the event and, if necessary what happens after the event. A document that visually lays out the process is a very effective communication tool.
4. Delegate duties. For events of this size, no one person can do it all. If you have a team, utilize each team member in some capacity!
5. Do not wait until the last minute to get essential items. You never know what can happen during that last week of preparation so it is best to already have everything you need.
6. Have constant communication with your team. The planning process will run much smoother if the whole team has a good understanding of what is being done to ensure this event is successful.

If all of these tasks seems overwhelming to you and you need a team that is capable and experienced in planning and managing an event, give us a call!
