Organize
This goes without saying, so we'll say it: Organize a conference committee as early as possible. Include as many people as needed to cover all the responsibilities outlined here. Include your own staff as well as colleagues from other institutions.
Communicate regularly with the leadership of your organization as well as with previous hosts. There's lots of history that you can use to your advantage such as format, what works and what doesn't, etc. Also, remember that you're the host, but it's not your conference; you should be working with them (the organization's leadership) to meet their objectives.
Establish regular planning/reporting meetings. Set up email lists. Always make it clear who is supposed to do what and when. Keep minutes/notes of your meetings and use them to follow up. The more you communicate with each other, the less likely you'll have slip ups.
Reserve Rooms
One of your very first items of business should be to reserve necessary rooms for plenary sessions, breakout sessions, lab sessions, exhibits, breaks, receptions, and conference headquarters/registration.
Adapt your conference to the facilities you have available. For example, good plenary sessions can be better than lab sessions that don't have adequate facilities.
Try to keep conference costs down by using rooms that are free. Again, this may require some adapting or negotiating.
Program
National meetings usually have a general theme. However, for regional meetings, you may want to choose a theme (with your organization's approval) that reflects your institution's particular strengths or interests.
National meetings also require a program committee. There's just too much work, and too many decisions for one person to handle. You may not need a program committee at the regional level, but if you have willing helpers, this might be a good place to use them.
A good program is critical. Look for variety, interest, timeliness. What do your members need or want to leave with? Try to balance lectures with discussions, hands on, social activities, and time for colleague interaction.
A general call for presenters should have a deadline that gives you ample time to recruit and to fill in gaps should you not get all the good proposals you need. Network with other members of your organization to identify people who might be invited to make presentations (or to submit proposals). Experience shows that some recruiting will be necessary, even if proposals are abundant (which often they are not.) If you have the expertise and resources, you should consider creating a web site for on-line proposal submission.
Immediately after the deadline, begin organizing the conference schedule. Select the proposals you want to use and contact them to verify their availability. Create a tentative schedule, matching presenters to the facilities. You may want to lay out your schedule on a whiteboard, or use 3x5 cards on a corkboard so you can visualize how things fit together. For example, you don't want all of your sessions on hiring student employees to take place on the same day and time. Make sure you plan time for attendees to talk with each other, such as at breaks, before and after dinners, at receptions, etc.
Send a formal acceptance note to each participant, and ask them to confirm by sending an abstract (if you didn't get that as part of their submission) and submitting a request for any special equipment (AV, computer, etc.)
