You can obtain this figure from the number of people that have registered for the event, and use that to guide you in estimating the number of attendees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>Make note of the Various Venues\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Especially with larger conferences, you might have different venues for different. You might have different seminars\/talks going on at the same time in different venues, it\u2019s important to make a note of this to pass on to your Transportation company to designate various areas of pick up\/drop off, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>Designate Pick up\/Drop off spots<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have figured out the various venues for your conference, it\u2019s time to figure out the pick up\/drop off areas. This should be conveniently arranged in close proximity to the venue to ensure attendees are able to find and board their vehicle as efficiently and promptly as possible. Airport pick ups, should be part of this planning as well, as attendees may need to be picked up from the airport to their hotel\/venue, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>Determine the Type of Bus<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you know the number of attendees, you\u2019ll be able to figure out the type of Bus you\u2019ll need to rent, and how many you\u2019ll need. You can either opt for a Minibu which can transport 15-37 people or a Coach Bus which can accommodate up to 55 people. You can even opt for the 13 passenger van.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>Plan shuttle Routes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned before, you may need to go back and forth between the same venues, as different events are taking place at different times. As one event finishes, you may need to pick up those who finished the event, while dropping off the next group at the same venue for their next designated event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So once you figure out the pick up\/drop off spots, you will need to come up with the different shuttle routes, including airport shuttle to make sure none of your attendees are left without transportation. Also you will need to figure out the frequency of the shuttle, every 30 minutes or hour, based on your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>Assign Site Coordinators<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is very important, it\u2019s important to have people on site at various venues to make sure people board as promptly and efficiently as possible.
