    Before you think about venue, catering or speakers, you need a clear goal. It is the benchmark against which you measure every later decision.

    Why the goal comes first

    A good event goal answers a simple question: what should be different after the event than before? Only then can budget, format and program be derived in a meaningful way.

    • Decide who the event is for
    • State how you will recognize success

    From goal to planning
