I agree with your comments regarding the legality, even erecting the smallest of road signs has a legality around it. but it really takes no effort to do the legal, in fact you tend to gain more support and practical help when everything is actioned correctly. thanks hi Lakita

I actually signed up with <a href="http://www.prepaidlegal.com/go/lakitahumber" rel="nofollow">Prepaid Legal</a> so I could have my contract reviewed! The attorney was able to point out some things that I was able to get removed that may have cost me thousands! I was also able to have an attorney write a letter on my behalf to settle disputes that would have cost a pretty penny. Kita @Denise & @Samantha,

You've thought of everything! I find the difficult part of doing events is all the moving pieces, so your post will definitely be a guide for future efforts by my clients and me. I especially love the points you made about involving a review by attorneys and getting the speaker confirmed in writing. If you don't take this stuff seriously, it can go really wrong, and sometimes in our non-profit events, we get a little too casual.

I stumbled on Eventbrite a couple years ago and have been using it for all my events: paid, free, large and small. I'm going to do another post soon that highlights the advanced features of Eventbrite such as creating your own affiliate program, discount codes, widgets and cross promotions. Kita @Katy,

From then on, everything becomes flow and each action described seems to lead naturally towards the next, and the next and repeat until the construction is done, according to a plan that, after all, was not daunting... You make big things seem "no big deal" That is big!
