With schools looking to better bridge the gap between the classroom and industry through a series of events for their communities, the BOP team put their knowledge to use and created the ‘Event Management Guide’ to help staff and students connect with industry mentors, speakers and guest presenters in an effective yet impactful way.
This event management guide features templated emails and messages, sample run sheets, and scaffolded speaker briefing documents to ensure the process of engaging with industry is as simple and straightforward as possible. Designed for students and staff, this guide will step readers through the process of identifying and engaging presenters for events in their school community.
With the BOP Industries team engaging over 150 industry speakers every year, we have compiled our favourite resources, tips and tricks for schools to ensure their events with industry are world class.

- Step By Step Guide: A high level overview of the process of engaging with speakers and hosting a successful event with recommended timelines and check points.
- Recommendations For Finding Presenters: A set of recommendations on how you can find presenters in your networks, how you can go beyond your networks to find presenters, and what to look for when narrowing down your options.
