Basic Supply Kit for Seminars and Conferences
Event and Meeting Planners Should Create a Supply Kit for Bring a

By Rob Hard, About.com

In my experience, event planners spend a lot of time preparing for their events, but sometimes tend to overlook that they should never arrive at an event empty handed. Yet that's exactly what happens if they don't create a basic event supplies kit, including a range of simple office supplies.

Whether you're setting up for a seminar, conference or other event, create a storage container that includes the following items for those who work the registration table:

1. Clear Pastic Storage Box

It's important to purchase a storage supplies box that isn't too large, but has enough depth to hold a range of supplies. A clear plastic storage box is extremely helpful, and can hold many different items.

The challenge is finding a supplier who has something that's just the right size to hold larger items, such as tape dispensers, without feeling like you're lugging a huge storage box. I like these dimensions: 5.87" high x 10.62" wide x 16.12" deep. Literally, a plastic shoebox.
