What options could there be for overbooking a workshop--Too many people, too little space?

Can you rent an alternate space that's bigger? How about renting a tent? Or a mobile classroom? That's all I could come up with. <*)))><

I'm an event planner/event managment which is another title. This is a very rewarding job, and the money can be good, but not all shows are succesful at first and you do need alot of fiancial backup. If you got that and a solid business plan then you can do this type of work. I'd suggest that you team up with someone as one person alone cannot do this. You may wish to contact:

you might want to think of putting them next door to each other as in the money ex/pawn shop having one door and the chicken ice cream place having another. You want to Consider the hours in which the different places would have business. why pay some one to work for you during hours you don't need them just because the other part is open. by renting a large space with separate enters and placing a connecting door inside. you eliminate the problem of having to pay employees during hrs you don't need them. I speak from experience i owned a shop that one part was a early morning business and the other was late night . pay role killed me because i had to pay someone to be there from 8am to 1 am where with different doors i wouldn't of had to pay anyone to baby sit the other half.good idea though one roof good 2 doors better.

Prepare your data. this will ease your anxiety.\nschedule your activities.  This will cut off unnecessary breaks.\nstart with an icebreaker if its a workshop. this will relax your participants.\nask the participants what they expect from the workshop\ninfuse some funtime, short games, to make sure the participants don't fall asleep.\nthe keyword is "Participants" let them participate.\nask questions about the experience of the participants.\ntell personal stories related to the workshop.\nwhen its almost over, have an expectation check to see if you've met their expectations.\nConfidence is key.  Be really prepared for whatever questions they might throw at you.  Or you can ask the participants about their opinion regarding the questions thrown at you.\nAlways interact with your participants.\nRelax and enjoy...\nHave FUN!

Depends of the person.  Some people 10 minutes in my place is too long others could stay forever.

Sorry cant say I have but it sounds like a place you could set up in a couple of hours and get rid of just as quick. go somewhere reputable.

This is hard not knowing what kind of workshop you are trying to set up.  However there are some basic 101 things that you can do.  Direct mail ..show that this is a formal workshop and note the hours the instructors their qualifications ..let them call or email to RSVP..very official stuff.  Or you can make fliers with a promotion..offer door prizes (get a local business to sponser in exchange for marketing) or say "1st 50 people get in FREE" people will go if its free.  Call up local pastors and explain that you have a workshop for ________ wanted to invite members of their church to come can you have about 10 min to address the church..promise to donate money to the church.  Also you can speak at local college or forum let them know there is a workshop for _______ and let them know of the incentives if they come.  People will only attend if they know there is something in there for them...knowlege..free drinks (after the event)...free food...prizes (like a $1000 drawing).

start by making sure that there is a demand.  you can pour millions into having an awesome venue with the best equipment available, but if nobody in a 50-mile radius will patronize the place, then you are s.o.l.

Try to form a consensus amongst the participants as to which plan works best. In getting such an ambitious project off the ground, it might be wiser to meet more frequently (monthly) just in order to get things established and find some kind of rhythm. You may then revert to quarterly sessions once things are operating smoothly. \n\nI'm very impressed that you're contemplating doing something like this and I would be very interested in learning more about it. Can you keep me updated as to your progress, perhaps via your 360 blog? Thanks!

Get the biggest one you can afford.  Extra capacity never hurt anybody, and you might be able to help your neighbors.

What do want to distribute? What specific items would you prefer.\nFind someone doing what you want to do and copy them.\nNo need to reinvent the wheel!

NONE, and what's more interesting is that I had an assignment involving interviewing a librarian, and she stated there are lots of incentives out there to lure more people in the field. there is a shortage! once I couldn't get any help because of staff shortage in a small community library, one person was in charge of the entire floor on a Saturday morning>
