Hi Cvent BrainTrust!
When planning an event do you think through the number of staff needed to suport number of speakers?
Our experience has shown that events staff spend a big chunk of time on speaker-related tasks -- getting headshots, bios, powerpoints, hotels, invoicing, adding co-authors and more! -- our speakers are community members and often require accompaniment and support. So we are trying to figure out how many speakers our two person event team can reasonably support for a three day conference -- 50? 75? 100? -- these are the same two folks responsible for all event set-up and management etc.
Thanks for your benchmarks and rules of thumb!
