Thousands can be spent on hosting events but what return do you get from the investment? Not just the investment of money but the invisible (and often large) amount of time spent in its preparation.

And when the event itself takes place how well does the team perform on the night? Often, you are disappointed. But then why should your colleagues know what to do, what to say, where to stand etc? Have they ever been trained in this specialist area? When you see them huddled together feeling well outside their comfort zones don't be surprised.  So, how can we help?
