Getting Started: What Kind of Event?

Another Shot of an UnConvention Panel

One of the first things to decide on is the theme of your conference. For instance, will it be the music scene in your local area or will it be devoted to a particular genre? It could be very specific: “Left Hand Bass Guitar Playing” or general: “The Future of Music”.

When deciding on an idea, make sure you're not putting on something that is already being covered. While there is an almost limitless number of conference that can be held on “The Future of Music,” if there's already a conference on the indie music scene on Denton, TX, there may not be space for a similar event.
