Program

Questions to answer when creating the program

  • How many (if any) speakers will you have, and in what order will they speak?
  • How much time will be allotted to each speaker?
  • If a program is to be held in conjunction with a meal, consider scheduling speakers among the various courses, rather than having all of them speak before or after the meal
  • Who will serve as emcee?
  • Will anyone need AV equipment?
  • Have you followed appropriate campus protocol for speaking order?
  • Will guests and/or audience need handouts?
