Reserve a venue several months in advance and make sure it will accommodate the crowd size you're anticipating. An event doesn't have to be in a huge convention center to be a successful trade show. Look into conveniently located banquet halls, hotels, churches and schools.
Seek out sponsors to help defray the expenses of the trade show. Radio stations and newspaper publishers make great sponsors as you can generally barter free advertising in exchange for booth space at event.
Layout your floor plan and solicit vendors. Draw a detail of the setup and allow vendors to choose their booth space. Be sure and give your sponsors exhibit areas that are larger than the average booth space.
Line up some entertainment to help attract crowds and keep visitors there longer. Invite subject matter experts to speak or give demonstrations and schedule them well in advance so you can include the information in your advertising.
Send vendors an exhibitor's kit 4 to 6 weeks before the trade show. Include a cover letter thanking them for their participation and a list of things they need to know such as setup and tear down times, loading dock access, venue restrictions and contact information.
Prepare your marketing materials and get them distributed in the weeks prior to the trade show. Use posters, ads in newspapers or magazines, radio spots and flyers distributed through a chamber of commerce, school or other outlet that pertains to the theme of your event.
Set up the exhibit and staging areas a day or two before the event, depending on its size. Then allow vendors in the night before or early the morning of the show to set up their booth displays.

How to Run an NCAA Tournament PoolIn Feburary 2016 04,

Determine the maximum number of people you want in the pool. Factors that impact this decision are whether the pool is just for members of your office and if you're hosting the pool using an Internet service--such as Yahoo!, ESPN or CBS Sportsline. Knowing the “cut-off” number before you tell others about the pool gives you the option of declining entry into the tournament pool at your discretion. However, there doesn't have to be a limit at all.
Choose the entry fee. Consult with friends and other potential entrants before setting this fee so people are not dissuaded from entering the pool.
Locate and print blank NCAA tournament brackets for everyone participating in the pool. While those in the pool can locate their own brackets using the Internet or from a newspaper, it doesn't hurt to acquire a few extra brackets just in case. Popular sports websites such as ESPN, Yahoo! Sports, CBS Sportsline and NCAA.com all offer printable brackets after “selection Sunday”--the Sunday before the start of the NCAA tournament, which is always on a Thursday.
Determine a scoring system. Some pool organizers increase the points awarded for each round. For example, award 1 point for every correct pick in the first round, 2 points in the second round, then 3, 5, 10 and 15. Some people do not weight the points, awarding the same number of points in each round. Make sure participants know the rules before they enter.
Decide on a “tiebreaker” in case it becomes necessary. Doing so ensures only one person wins the pool. In most Internet pools, the tiebreaker is the total points of the final score in the NCAA championship game.
Choose how winnings will be distributed to the winner or winners. Some pools pay out just the person who wins the entire contest. Others pay the top two or three winners. An example might be 80 percent of the money to the winner, 15 percent for second place and 5 percent for third. The system you use is largely determined by the number of participants.
Create a cut-off time for the collection of both brackets and money. Most Internet pools have a cut-off time of noon on the first day of the tournament, when the first game tips off. Collecting the money along with the brackets ensures nobody backs out of the pool once the tournament begins.
Tally the total wins/points at the end of each game, set of games or round. The time you choose to check the brackets is up to you, but you'll find most people will want to know who is winning at the end of each day of the tournament.
