What staff members are available? What extra resources might be required?
Can you hold the event in your learning centre or will you have to find another venue?
If you’re inviting exhibitors– perhaps local colleges or businesses – what resources can they provide?
Can you pull together an event team of people with different expertise, either internally or using people from partner organisations? If so, you should get together as early as possible to pool knowledge, bounce ideas around and delegate tasks.
Are there ways to maximise your resources by ‘piggy backing’ on a larger community event, a learndirect scotland campaign, or teaming up with other local centres?
You can order free learndirect scotland promotional items such as pens and key-rings that could prove useful as give-aways.
