9.Any legal demands that must be met before the event takes place eg police clearance ?
10.How are you going to make use of technology to bring an awareness to the people concerning the event?
11. Have a contingent plan in place that if things go wrong you can evacuate people using ABC.
12 . Have one person who speaks on behalf of the events committee or families involved in the event if it is a wedding .
13.Check issues of security for children and cars at the venue.

As you brain storm don’t forget to physically visit the venue .This will help you see how accessible it is to the delegates.You can also check if the venue has special facilities for people living with disabilities .
Make sure that every service provider you intend to work with has signed some sort of contract to show their commitment .Don’t assume anything ,take your time to physically check things that you intend to hire eg Public Address system .
Make sure you also have a team in place who will usher people as well as ensure there is order as the event progresses .
