How Many Days Should a Convention Be?

Video Transcript

In this clip we'll talk about how many days your convention or event should be. Typically, events run anywhere from one to three days. In the early days of conventions, about thirty years ago, they would be four days. They would actually be hold over a holiday weekend. But because of rising costs, it's very difficult to justify running for four days. But again, depending on how many people you think will be coming through, how many guests you'll have, how many events you'll have, you'll need to judge how many days. But generally, you want a convention to run probably from a Friday to a Sunday. If it's a business convention, many business conventions start on a Saturday or Sunday and run four days going Monday or Tuesday, even a fifth day in to Wednesday. But generally, you want to make it no less than two but no more than four. Again, it's going to depend on how you can schedule out your events, how many people you're going to have at your convention, how you want to schedule your guests. And that's a big thing. How much time you want to give to your vendors and how much you think you're willing to put into the convention yourself.
