Common Questions

How far in advance should I plan my event?

We recommend starting 6-8 weeks before your event date. This gives you time to: book a venue, confirm speakers, set up registration, and promote the event to members.

What help can ISCP provide?

The ISCP team can help you with:

  • • Finding suitable venues
  • • Suggesting speakers and topics
  • • Setting up online registration
  • • Creating promotional materials
  • • Managing attendee communications
  • • Event day support and coordination

How much does it cost to run an event?

Costs vary depending on venue, speakers, and catering. Many events are free for members or have small fees to cover expenses. ISCP can help you create a budget and may provide financial support for events that benefit our members.

Do I need insurance for my event?

ISCP events are covered under our organization's insurance. We'll help you understand what's covered and ensure your event meets all safety requirements.

What if nobody signs up for my event?

Don't worry! This is common. We'll help you promote your event through our member database, website, and social media. We can also suggest the best timing and format to attract more attendees.

Tips for Successful Events

Before Your Event

  • • Start with a clear goal for what attendees will learn
  • • Choose a convenient time and location
  • • Promote early and remind people closer to the date
  • • Have a backup plan for technical issues

During Your Event

  • • Arrive early to set up and test equipment
  • • Welcome people personally as they arrive
  • • Stick to your schedule but be flexible
  • • Encourage questions and participation

Remember: Every expert was once a beginner. Your first event doesn't have to be perfect - it just needs to be helpful to your fellow physiotherapists!
