Begin planning eight weeks ahead of an event by creating a short list of dates and sites. Check calendars to avoid conflicts with related events, such as meetings or conferences that could draw your potential audience elsewhere. Evaluate venues for logistical issues such as easy access to parking, capacity and security to minimize or eliminate issues that make it hard for people to attend.
Delegate Responsibilities
Create a committee to share the workload, especially for larger events. Seek out volunteers for the key positions of chairman, vice chairman, secretary and program director. Once you fill those slots, schedule a meeting to discuss your expectations. Iron out issues such as hiring guest speakers, and assign committee members to handle specific tasks, such as budgeting and publicity.
Determine Your Format
Choose activities that encourage guests to mingle freely and share details about themselves or their professional activities. For example, ask that participants chat with three people they haven't met before or who work in a similar field, according to 'Entrepreneur' magazine. Alternatively, invite attendees to bring information about their products and services, then set aside a table to display these items. Also, appoint volunteers who can greet people as they arrive and help them fill out name tags.
Review the Site
Tour the venue weeks before the event. Meet the manager to ensure that he can commit the space to your group. If you're renting the site, discuss any terms that might affect attendance, such as whether you can post signs on-site to direct attendees to the right place. Also, ask how the manager will ease issues that work against easy mingling, such as large numbers of tables and chairs.
Set a Marketing Strategy
Develop a list of people to send emails, brochures or postcards about your event. If you target a specific group, check databases for members living within driving distance. Focus on reaching your most likely attendees first by emailing them a month in advance. Then send an email reminder a week before the event. Keep extra postcards and print materials for passing out among your own contacts, who can help get the word out.

How to Have a Successful Cheer Dance Competition for 6In Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
Plan ahead in advance at least four months to give yourself sufficient time to organize the junior cheer dance competition.
Create a website for the store front of your cheer dance club. Advertise the competition on the website to reach a wide public audience.
Recruit other staff members or parents to join you on a panel of event organizers so that you can share the workload and delegate responsibilities. Assign specific duties to panel members such as marketing, publicity, competition program, competition entries, sponsorship and staffing.
Decide on the goals of the event and whether you want it to be just a competition or also a fund-raiser for the cheer dance club. Decide whether you want the competition to be local, national or international and plan the marketing accordingly. Note that you must apply for nonprofit status from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to declare money raised and to gain tax exemption.
Schedule a suitable date in your diary for the competition such as a weekend or during a school vacation in spring or summer to increase your chances of hosting a successful competition. Holding a competition during months of inclement weather can result in low audience participation.
Find a venue such as a school gym, large community center or a public sports stadium. Try to find premises free of charge or those offering a discounted rate in return for good publicity. Book the venue once a deal has been reached.
Seek sponsorship from companies who would be prepared to donate the trophy and cash prizes in return for free advertising and raising their public profile. Seek financial aid also from funding bodies who support sports competitions.
Invite a local or national celebrity, as well as professional cheer dance coaches and competition judges accredited by the National Cheerleading Association to be on the panel of judges to raise the publicity of the event, to help draw in a full audience and to ensure the success of the cheer dance competition.
Plan how you are going to handle competition entries. Create a paper entry form or an online form (or both) to be filled in before the competition to be able to assess how many children and dance squads will be participating. Indicate a deadline for entries to avoid a last minute rush in entries or unpredictable numbers turning up on the day of the event.
Circulate posters in your local shopping mall, schools, other cheer dance clubs or schools and at the venue hosting your event. Place an ad in local, national or international newspapers and magazines. Contact your local and national radio and television stations to broadcast the news about the cheerleading competition for six-year-olds.
Plan a schedule of cheer dance competition heats and any fund-raising events that can take part during the day.
Recruit volunteers to staff the event, making sure that some members know first aid in case a child falls ill or has an injury.
Raise funds by charging competition entry fees, selling competition merchandise such as T-shirts, sweaters and gym skirts. Sell refreshments to hydrate competitors and audience members.

How to Increase FTP Transfer SpeedIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
As PCWorld notes, 'Hard drives are classic bottlenecks, and they definitely slow down computers.' During an FTP transfer, your hard drive is constantly reading and writing data. If you have a slower drive, those reads and writes will be slower than if you had a faster one. Upgrade to a faster hard drive to speed up FTP and computing in general. A Solid Date Drive, or SSD, costs more than regular hard drives, but it's faster.
Other Hard Drive Tips
You can speed up FTP by terminating other activities that use the hard drive extensively. These activities include downloading files and rendering video. Ensure that Windows defrags your hard drive periodically to optimize your data. By default, the Disk Defragmenter runs weekly, but you can change the schedule to run more frequently or run it manually any time.
Upload Speed Vs. Download Speed
Internet Service Providers often sell plans where upload speed is slower than download speed. If your FTP seem slow, review your ISP agreement to see how fast your upload speed is. If it’s a low transfer rate, that may explain why uploads via FTP are slower than you’d like them to be. Ask your ISP about upgrade plans if you need faster upload speed. A faster upload speed also make browser uploads and video chat sessions faster.
Work More Efficiently
The free FTP built into Windows is functional and is useful for performing simple tasks. However, you can manage large numbers of files and folders faster using a third-party FTP client such as FTP Voyager, FileZilla or CuteFTP (links in Resources). These programs let you drag and drop files between your desktop to the FTP. They make it faster to connect to FTP servers by storing login information and settings. You can also use File Manager and Internet Explorer to drag and drop files when you visit an FTP site. Many third-party FTP clients enable you to transfer files faster by using several simultaneous connections. Check your program's documentation to learn how to use this feature. Your Internet Service Provider may also have a built-in FTP client that helps you transfer files to and from your hosted website. Because these clients work using your browser, you don't have to install any software on your computer.
FTP Automation Tips
Windows 8 and 8.1, like older Windows versions, still allows you to issue FTP commands from the command line. Access it by Typing 'Windows-R' followed by 'Cmd.' Press 'Enter' to view the command prompt. Some people may use the command line FTP to run scripts that automate FTP activities. A script, for instance, may log you in automatically, switch to a specific folder and upload some files. Some third-party FTP clients, such as CuteFTP also allow you to automate FTP processes using Visual Basic and other types of scripts.
