Build Event Agendas with Spark
This article will explain how to leverage Spark’s agenda builder to quickly generate agendas for any type of event.
How to Use Spark to Build an Event Agenda
Follow these steps to easily build a customized event agenda with Spark:
1. Provide Event Details
SparkAI needs some key event details in order to generate a tailored agenda. Fill out the following fields:
| Field | Ideal Input | Impact on Output |
|---|---|---|
| Event Type | Select from drop-down options like conference, trade show, gala, etc. | Tailors agenda sections and timing to event type norms |
| Event Info | Event Name, Date, Timings, Location etc. | Adopts real name, time, location |
| Target Audience | Demographic and industry details like "Finance executives" | Informs tone and content specifics |
| Event Theme | Descriptive phrases like "Future of Finance" | Adds cohesive theme elements |
| Event Goals | Bulleted list like "Educate on trends" | Ensures agenda aligns to goals |
| Event Mode | In-person, virtual, or hybrid | Dictates logistical details |
2. Review and Tweak Generated Agenda
After submitting event details, Spark will generate a complete agenda outline. Review each section and make tweaks as needed. You can:
- Reorder agenda sections
- Adjust section durations
- Add or remove sections
- Request tone adjustments like more formal or upbeat
3. Interacting with the Generated Output
Here are some examples of how to request modifications or provide additional info:
- Ask questions about the objective or format of specific agenda items.
- Request changes like "Can you make the keynote 45 min instead of 30?"
- Seek guidance on elements like optimal session order or timing of breaks.
- Provide additional context to help Spark tweak descriptions or recommendations.
Provide as much context as possible when requesting changes so Spark can optimize the agenda.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
- The agenda is too generic
- Provide more details on the event type, industry, goals and theme so Spark can create a more tailored agenda
- The timing doesn't work
- Clearly indicate the start and end time as well as any fixed agenda items so Spark can assign appropriate durations
- Can I get multiple agenda options?
- Yes, just let SparkAI know you want 3 different options to choose from
- How do I add my company/event branding?
- Customize the downloaded agenda in your preferred document editor before finalizing
- What level of detail is included?
- The agenda provides section titles and durations but not detailed content. Use it as an outline to build upon.
- The agenda doesn't align with my vision:
- Share feedback on how it differs, and what your ideal agenda would include. Spark will generate alternatives.
- Can I get speaker or entertainment recommendations?
- Yes! Simply request suggestions from Spark and it will provide options suited to your event.
- Does Spark work for niche events like hackathons?
- Yes, describe the unique details and goals of your event, and Spark will tailor the agenda accordingly
- What if I want to customize speaker names and bios?
- The generated agenda leaves those sections blank. You can manually populate speaker details later
With just a few event details, Spark can generate a polished, structured agenda saving event planners hours of work. Use the advanced customization options to tailor the agenda to your specific event needs.
