Topic:  "Using Business Intelligence to Manage Events Strategically"

On January 23, KCMPI's event"Using Business to Manage Events Strategically" was hosted at the Kansas City Library and was enjoyed by 30 members of our chapter. The presentation reviewed four steps of the event planning process:Sourcing, Contracting, Event Planning and Post Event. Rob Wilson with Meeting Evolution, provided a framework of each phase and how to be strategic in capturing information to be able to re use that information the next time you, your department or organization are planning an event. After each phase, the attendees discussed three questions at their tables and then reported back to the group their findings. The session was very interactive and members learned a lot about process and how other colleagues are being in planning their event.

Remember, managing events strategically is moving from logistics to strategic.
