Event Management

The power of major events is unquestioned. Conferences, seminars, exhibitions, training sessions are amongst the most productive ways of informing and influencing large groups of people; significantly accelerating your company’s sales, marketing or loyalty drive.

However, these great benefits can only be achieved through events that are well organised. You may be too busy focusing on your core business, to give these extra events a lot of attention: that is where the BDD (business development division) of Waljis Travel comes in. We have the expertise and the resources required in sourcing, managing and co-coordinating the multitude of factors that go into running a successful event; and thus taking away the burden from you, allowing you to concentrate on your core activities.

Events have to be right first time. That is why the BDD focus is on detail as much as on strategy, and finishing touch as much as grand scheme. Our event management service includes the following vital aspects:


Getting the Venue Right

Location is the single most important decision, so we focus on:

  • Availability: the venue’s ability to accommodate the required numbers, in the right setting on the right date(s);
  • Access: the venue’s facilities for parking and access for all people and equipment;
  • Accommodation: associated overnight accommodation if required, or accommodation within close proximity of event location;
  • Time: allowed build and dismantle time for sets;
  • Finances: Budget and payment terms.

Maximizing Attendance

Maximising attendance is also another vital part to ensure your event gets maximum exposure.

  • Invitations: we can design, despatch and track invitations, managing the entire process using a dedicated email address and phone number for professionalism and speed;
  • Reporting: we can produce daily reports on attendance figures for the client;
  • Email: we can send customised email shots to the invitee list;
  • Telemarketing: we can also run an outbound telemarketing campaign to chase up the final guests who have not responded.

Ensuring Quality
  • Visibility: we can maximise the branding opportunity down to the creation of high quality name badges;
  • Set & Systems: we design and create the stage set and associated technical requirements such as lighting, sound support and presentation systems;
  • Folders: the creation of delegate packs, together with the contents – agendas, speaker biographies, location maps, feedback forms, question forms, pencils, and notepads;
  • Logistics: we ensure management of conference timing, messaging, room allocation, special delegate requirements;
  • Content: we can consult on and produce agendas, presentations, awards dinners, team building sessions and marketing material.

Delivering Reliability
  • Briefing: we can write technical briefings and running orders for the key personnel, so that everybody knows exactly what would happen and when;
  • Installation: we ensure installation of the set, full audio-visual, sound and lighting the day before;
  • Test & Rehearsal: we test to ensure that rehearsals can take place on schedule;
  • Registration: we can setup a registration desk with a team of people to ensure that everyone is quickly processed and registered

Maximizing Exposure

Through development of bespoke marketing solutions we can ensure that your event gets maximum exposure both in your target market as well as general public awareness.

  • We can devise an integrated marketing communications plan to raise awareness;
  • Mass advertising through press, radio, television and trade press;
  • Dedicated internet site with the appropriate information and even delegate registration via the web;
  • Income generation through sponsorship and sale of advertising space;
  • Production of a event magazine;
  • Sourcing of delegate packs and give-aways.

Providing Feedback

We believe that a successful event should be able to justify its existence.

  • Criteria: form the outset we work with clients to establish the criteria for success;
  • Measurement: we also design the mechanisms to prove that success;
  • Feedback: we can compile a synopsis of all the feedback forms, which we include in our own de-brief and report back to the client.
