9.3 ORGANIZING A CONFERENCE OR AN EVENT

Imagine you’re organizing a weekend conference for about 50 delegates, from the evening of Friday 22 May to lunch time on Monday 25 May. Four foreign speakers have been invited and you’ll need to write to them in English.

First of all discuss what arrangements you’ll have to make for the conference. Make a list of the things you will have to do.
·         Write a letter to invite the people.
·         Look for a place to do the conferences
·         Check the costs
·         Reserve and pay the airplane tickets.

Then work trough the activity following the instructions below.

Draft a letter to the foreign speakers, to include these points:

·         Confirm dates and venue of the conference.
·         Ask for the title and 100- word summary of their talk.
·         Explain the accommodation arrangements.
·         Explain about expenses.
·         Ask them to book APEX tickets, not standard fare, as it’s over a weekend.
·         Make the hotel and the conference sound attractive.

LETTER:


Dear speaker:

We have the information about the conference you have been invited to participate.

The dates of the conference will be from the evening of Friday 22 May to lunch time on Monday 25 May, in the 3 stars Hotel du Lac. This is a very beautiful place; it has a nice view of the lake. It’s really cozy.
It has all the facilities for the conference we are organizing, so we ensure you that it will be a nice and motivating experience.

You will have sole occupancy of a double room with a view of the lake. Your accommodation and full board will be paid by us, don’t worry about that.
Also, we will refund your expenses by cheque in our currency.

The only thing we will need you to do is: book APEX tickets, not standard fare, as it’s over a weekend, and we need title and 100- word summary of your talk.

This is the information you need to know so far. We hope you don’t have any doubts, if you do, please let us know.

Sincerely yours:

Organizing Committee.
