2.- Make sure the participants socialize and participate in networking, as one of the main objectives is to help them interact and get to know each other.

6.- When choosing a venue, check your Wi-Fi network. Having Wi-Fi does not mean that it is a robust and reliable network. And speaking of the Internet, if you can not offer it free to the attendees, consider giving them free basic bandwidth and, for those who need it, a premium service of payment.

7.- Include sustainable or CSR initiatives in the program of the event: despite the additional cost, you will be surprised how important it is for a growing number of people.

8.- As soon as there is a firm decision to host the event, make sure that you launch an attractive and informative website about the event in the shortest possible time (including PC, mobile and tablet versions) and that it is updated frequently ; Internet is the most powerful marketing tool you have at your disposal.
