Northern California Chapter of IAEE hosted a CEM Course: Housing and Registration Management

On April 15, 2011, the Northern California Chapter of IAEE hosted a CEM Course: Housing and Registration Management

In addition to the everyday responsibilities of the exhibit manager, ancillary services are provided to exhibition attendees and exhibitors which require an understanding of the needs of the guests as well as a solid working knowledge of hotel operations. Two of the service elements inherent in most events today are arranging for accommodation for all of guests and identifying which guests will be allowed access to which portion of the event. Regardless of how these services will be delivered, planning must begin early to ensure that housing and registration are easily accessed and do not become a hindrance to attending the event.

After completing this module the students were able to:

· List key information needed before planning how to manage registration and housing

· Discuss several criteria to consider when deciding whether to obtain housing and registration from a single provider

· Be conversant with the terminology used by housing & registration service providers.

· Identify the various housing & registration options for an event

· Create a timeline with benchmarks for housing & registration planning

· Identify the five essential elements in a legal contract.

· Describe various ways to promote a housing program.

· Recognize how registration and housing providers charge for services

Joint educational program focusing on Best Practices in Exhibition Management

On March 8, 2011, the Northern California Chapters of Green Meetings Industry Council (GMIC) and International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) held their first joint educational program focusing on Best Practices in Exhibition Management

The keynote speaker Paul Salinger VP of Marketing for Oracle and President Elect of GMIC presented an outline “The Imperative for Sustainable Events” as envisioned by the leadership of GMIC.

By 2020, the Green Meetings Industry Council envisions a transformed meeting and event industry, driving towards sustainability which:

· Achieves strategic goals that serve the economic, environmental, and social interests of all stakeholders.

· Incorporates the principles of sustainability as standard operating practice

· Integrates international sustainability standards into its management, organization and reporting

· Impacts positively on the local and global society through diversity and inclusivity

· Promotes health, well being, creativity and business effectiveness

Oracle is setting the bar to achieve this vision today. Paul Salinger, Vice President of Marketing, and the internal champion and leader for sustainable events, provided insights into how, strategically and tactically, planners and suppliers throughout the event supply chain can come together to set the right objectives and achieve amazing results that bring sustainability into the forefront of event planning.

Following the keynote presentation our panel of industry professionals shared tips and explained how they are helping to make the new standards of going green easier and sustainable. Panelists: Joe Pestka, Jonathan Young, Justin Hersh and Johanna Walsh

In this panel session, attendees learned first-hand how leading organizations are developing best practices to deal with significant environmental and operational accountabilities, including, how they are anticipating the new APEX standards from the Convention Industry Council and how they will affect the many levels of the exhibition industry. The panel talked about how the new green standards apply to your event in areas such as venue selection, hotel measurements, catering options, print and promotional items, travel to the event, as well as transportation during the event and of course recycling and waste management. They also covered how to measure your event to see the size of your carbon footprint and dispel the myths that green meetings are more expensive and difficult.
