Beyond Toastmasters club’s weekly meetings, there are gatherings just as essential to the success. These special events include conferences, speech contests and others. Follow these #tm_tips as you prepare for your next event to help make it a success!🤓
Step 1️⃣: Create a plan
The first thing you should do before you begin planning is form a committee and work together to outline what you hope to accomplish. It’s also important to determine your budget and see if any fundraising will be necessary to cover the event costs. Be sure to create a project calendar highlighting the tasks you will need to accomplish before and during the event.📝
Step 3️⃣: Choose the right location
Book your venue as soon as the event dates are set to help guarantee site availability. Consider these factors: the size of your group, the length of the event, the event budget, where most attendees will be traveling from and the time of year the event will take place. 🏢
Step 3️⃣: Keep it safe
Protect yourself, your attendees and the organization from any harm or liability by carefully considering safety logistics as you plan your event. Choose a safety officer to evaluate the venue before and after attendees enter and leave the premises. Examples of safety items to consider include making sure aisles and walkways are clear of obstructions and wide enough for foot traffic, electrical cords and audio/video cables are securely taped to the floor and that stairs are adequately illuminated.⚠️
Step 4️⃣: Organize accordingly
After you book your venue, work with the facility staff to arrange the meeting space in the optimal way based on the type of event you are hosting. Make sure the audio/visual capabilities are adequate for your needs; ensure the lighting, acoustics and soundproofing are appropriate for the meetings and presentations you envision. Remember to allow for enough time to setup and tear down equipment before and after your event.✅
As you plan, rely on the help of veteran leaders who have planned or attended similar events before. Always consider how your plans and decisions will affect your attendees’ experience. Good luck!💪🏽

On 25th of August with a speech titled "Still Standing," Ramona J. Smith, a high school teacher from Houston, Texas, won the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
For the first time in the contest's history, female competitors swept the 🔝3️⃣ positions.
Smith is only the fifth woman to capture the World Champion of Public Speaking title since the contest began in 1938.😱
Smith said the key message of her speech was strength during adversity. "When you are in the ring of life, you will face some challenges," she said. "You are going to get hit, you will be punched, you will be bruised. Even though you fall down and stumble, all you have to do is find whatever strength lies within you or outside you from family, friends, faith, your mentors and coaches to help pull you back up. " 🙌🏼
This year is historical for the TI speech contest and it will for sure inspire all women around the world ✊🏼🙋🏽♀️

#tm_tips for introducing speakers 🔊
If you host a special event, you may be required to introduce speakers. Try these quick tips for delivering thoughtful speaker introductions:
ℹ️ Don't steal the show by making the introduction too long (60 seconds or less is sufficient), or by speaking on a topic that is in no way related to the speaker.
ℹ️ Grab the audience's attention with a great opening. This can be an inspiring quote, a humorous anecdote, or an impressive milestone the speaker has achieved.
ℹ️ Briefly mention the topic the speaker is addressing, but don't reveal too much about his or her speech.
ℹ️ Establish the speaker's authority and expertise. This information will help solidify with the audience the speaker's credibility as a subject matter expert.
This method can be also used by toastmaster of the meeting for introduction of prepared speaker 🤓
