I have just finished the regional events and we are just adding the final details to Assist Travel. On top of all of that, we have opened up bookings for next year’s Assist Conference. I wanted to spend a little bit of time today talking to you guys about the theme of next year’s conference. Minute Taking.

If someone puts in a "birthday" or a "pick up the dry cleaning" reminder in their calendar as an all-day event, to those who are using the Scheduler, it will look like the person is busy for the day and in reality they may have the day open. I put travel in red and action reminders in yellow, but that is our own system and it works for us.

I arrange quite a few events and have realized the importance of reading and reviewing the contracts carefully, highlighting key dates. I had an event for November 7th and the contract was signed, sealed and delivered, but then I noticed the hotel had put the wrong date on the contract. What are the dates you can cancel by?

Another time I wanted to try a career in the travel business. I have seen some contracts for event planners and it seems like a lucrative career to get into. I love the planning, organizing and running around that goes into bringing a conference from a thought to a successful event. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

I am speaking this morning at an administrative event so looking forward to meeting some new assistants. The one good thing about speaking at an event where nobody knows me is, they have no idea whether my hair is supposed to be this dark. Some good advice to pass along: Never colour your hair the night before an event.

Networking at a conference does little good if you never speak with the person after the event. If you meet someone at an Administrative Assistant conference, for example, make sure to follow up with that contact within a week or two after the event. If you discussed a need at the conference, be sure to address it.

How often I have organized a conference or arranged a Board meeting and after all the organization and planning it goes off without a hitch. Have you ever been at an event that isnt well organized? He then proceeded to tell me about a previous event he was at where there was no organization. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.
