Learning note on organising symposium ieom dhaka held on 19 Dec 2015 at IEB

The day before the event try to keep it as rest time. All tasks should be done before that rest day.

Stage management should be considered like what to be said, who will be on stage , how crest or other things are to be given.

Buzzer may be used to indicate time is up.

Lee way of time should be kept. If it is a bigger presentation to short it but shorter presentation is difficult to enlarge. One option is to keep video presentation during tea break and that time may be as buffer or a light presentation that may be omitted. If question answer is allowed specific time should be allocated. For example, 15 minutes presentation and 10 minutes QA.If presentation prolongs, QA session may be curtailed.
Keep something going is better to keep audience inside and if not with accompanying person, it is difficult to pass that time.So lunch time presentation or video presentation should be great.

Lunch box with spoon may be served inside just seeing the coupon or reg receipt. A tissue may be given alongside and a bottle of water.

It is better to see the place earlier to put sign, location toilet,prayer room,parking,ATM,shop,cafe

lunch box coupon may be the reg fee receipt. When a lunch is given a stamp may be placed behind. It is kind of deterrant method, actually no one counts. However for counting a box may be placed or better it may be torn away. However to get the exact no of lunch box offered coupon may be kept after tearing a little bit. It is easier if lunch box may be self serviced from several tables or may be given those are seated or atleast there should sufficient no of counters.  In the buffet if possible arrange four directional movement atleast both sides and several segments.

Attendance certificate and other certificates better may be printed earlier. Else a printer may be assigned on the registration desk.

Certificate may be better given during registration. And if given later better be given in the stage by calling name.

A cameraman was assigned.That's grand.However its better to take some important by the organizer himself for the record.

sometimes software does not work at different computers. So projector laptop used there is better be checked earlier.Presenters may be asked to bring pdf and if possible own laptop.

Paper,glue,scissors,scotch tape,pen,tissue paper may be bought. For special guests, ceramic cup ware may be used. For faculty a specific area may be allocated.

Check the certificates for all dignitaries are prepared.

Sort of bag may be tote bag to be provided for carrying staff.

payment better be collected earlier with sort of document like deoposit slip or online transfer.

Time schedule of the event and venue's different things location may be posted in a visible location of the venue. Such  items may be placed at different places showing where the thing is posed with a arrow mark. For the latest gps technology available in most mobile, longitude latitude info or location link in google may be posted in the website or information brochure.

Press release about the event should be written letter so that it could be sent immediately after the event.

folow your passion from your current job or business

At different stage you may go for different level. Generally younger age its better to go for what you are passionate or shift quickly step by step.One should take the risk at some stage to go for what you are passionate one.
At middle age,its better to hold on close enough and try to get into the next step. However here the risk should be on the conservative side.

No matter what ever situation is you have the equal strength of exam. However it makes easier to go on life when you do what you are passionate about.

The other thing that could be done that go on with your current job /business/ vocation, and do what you are passionate about. If doing so may mean losing your job or business or status, that is the price you need to pay to follow your passion..

ideal time to send Thank you note

send exactly between 12 to 48 hours of the comption of the program. For example, if the program was finished 19 Dec 2015 at 6 pm, then the thank you note should be sent by 6 am of 20 Dec to 6 pm of 21 dec 2015

How Long Is Too Long to Wait Before Writing an Interview Thank You Letter?

Ideal Timing
Ideally, you want your interviewers to receive your thank you when your interview is still relatively fresh in their minds. Compose your thank you note within two business days of your interview, advises Virginia Tech Division of Student Affairs
http://work.chron.com/long-long-wait-before-writing-interview-thank-letter-19189.html
If you elect to email, do so within 24 hours for maximum impact, suggests Jenna Goudreau for ''Forbes.'' If this 24-hour window has long passed, don’t forgo the email option entirely, but instead send out your communication as close to the date of the interview as possible.

It’s always best to send out a thank you note within the first 48 hours but a tardy thank you note is better than no thank you note at all.  Even if it is a year later, believe me, the giver still remembers and will be relieved to know you used the gift or appreciated the money.

equality other angles: Life philosophy

Whatever situation one is in, he or she has got the same strength question for the examination of life.

It would be better to go on life if you could do what you like. So it is suggested to gradually try move to the things like,say highest one year.

However if one is in a difficult situation, still he has the same strength of exam. The Almighty put one person one setting but the exam strength is the same.

So don't complain if you do not have what the most people have. For example, you could not get kid due to medical problem whereas most people have many kids. It is the setting the Almighty has chosen.

Age does not guarantee the higher position. A younger person may be up in the hierarchy, it is quite ok. You may think that new guy who is in his youth may earn more reward point than persons died many years ago.

However whenever possible show some consideration for age and gender, but it is not mandatory.

And the final word is the at any give time all human beings are equal. So try to arrange equal setting, then natural discrimination like age and gender, atleast the basic thing of an item for lowest level, money as discriminator, then position or education as discriminator and such continued.

gradual process towards humility: Lower level bhai

Gradual process is the best for personal development. To reach goal of reaching humility in terms of salutation as most of the English spoken countries like Ireland and UK do, one may follow gradual process in Bangladesh.

He may think himself as the lower level job holder. So he would call all lower level jobholders as bhai, the other job a little bit higher status job holder as shaheb and superiors as boss or sir or other honorific.

It should be ok as senior faculty,junior faculty all alike are called sir by students in Bangladesh so to call a group of jobholder under same salutation as the intermediate step towards egalitarian salutation.
