Post-Event Items
-
Immediately after your event, clean up! This is especially pertinent if you use an on-campus space. You should leave the facility you use looking the same way it did before your event setup. Note: you may be fined by facilities or the venue if you leave the space in poor condition.
-
A week after the event, hold an After Action Review to: Tie up any loose ends, evaluate the event for next year's planners (e.g., what worked well), and discuss any lessons you learned, and reflect on your original vision and goals for the event (see Scope/Vision).
-
Finalize your finances: Have your vendors all been paid? Have all pledged sponsorship and ticket revenues been collected?
-
Thank You Notes: Thank your speakers, alumni attendees, and VIPs.
-
Collect and archive all your documents and information. Give this information to Student Life and next year's organizers.
