20 Preparing for Your<br />

Event<br />

20.1<br />

Planning Your Event<br />

The preparations for your conference are already in full swing. The<br />

lecturers have been invited, <strong>the</strong> program put toge<strong>the</strong>r, and advertising<br />

has begun. TWiki will help keep all participants up to date. It<br />

serves as a bulletin board. The forte of wikis for project organization<br />

lies precisely in this double duty: It is an organizational tool as<br />

well as <strong>the</strong> basis of public relations and <strong>the</strong> integration of <strong>the</strong> outside<br />

world, e.g. by enabling <strong>the</strong> external viewing of spatial planning. In<br />

our specific case, it is helpful to involve participants as “collaborators”<br />

at an early stage.<br />

Accordingly, you can present fur<strong>the</strong>r web offerings:<br />

� Separate discussion forums<br />

� Feedback pages<br />

� Carpooling and accommodation exchanges<br />

This dual function can also be utilized to have lecturers integrate<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir abstracts into <strong>the</strong> pages <strong>the</strong>mselves. Also, participants can<br />

write <strong>the</strong>ir questions and ideas right underneath, so that lecturers can<br />

better attune <strong>the</strong>mselves to <strong>the</strong>ir queries.<br />
