Whether you're new to the Fall Fest planning game or have a year of experience under your belt, everyone could benefit from taking a lot at the steps to planning a high-level WOW experience like Fall Fest below. Who knows—you're best idea may come from asking yourself some of the questions in these steps.
If you're new to Fall Fest, be sure to read over this Fall Fest one-pager, which will guide you through our program models and provide context about the purpose of the initiative.
If you still have questions after reading through the steps, that's totally cool. Feel free to contact your International S'ganim for programming support or International Morim for recruitment support. Don't worry, we've got your back.
Before you dive into the planning process, be sure to learn what's important to the success of your event. Review the goals and parameters of the initiative you're working toward, and understand key opportunities for innovation to elevate your experience from good to WOW.

Once you clearly understand the task at hand, IDEATE together with teen and staff leadership to build a unique experience that will best serve your community's needs within the context of the initiative. Do a community mapping exercise, clarify key responsibilities, and establish ambitious (and attainable!) goals.
What are the unique opportunities (and challenges) afforded by your community - including people, places, experiences, etc. - and how can you take full advantage of them to elevate your event?
What responsibilities are key to the success of this experience, and how will you divide the work (among specific teens and staff) to define expectations and share the load, while also leveraging individual skills?
Set SMART Goals

Considering the nature of your event, what local/national organizations can you engage as community, program, and/or brand partners?
How can you leverage parents, alumni, and other stakeholders to help?
What steps are required to turn your program idea into a reality?
What tasks and support are needed to make that happen, and along what timeline?

What unanswered questions remain, and how will you address them?

What program moments should be scripted in advance (versus free form), and how should leadership team members plan to handle any issues as they arise?
How can you use branding and signage, as well as lighting, A/V, risers or other fun seating options, reserved VIP areas, and other venue elements to bring your space to life and enhance its fullness?
What expectations can you set and systems can you put in place to easily identify prospects (and under-active members) to ensure that all new attendees are well taken care of from the time they arrive to when they leave?
What fun surprises, snacks, and/or other program enhancements can you offer to ensure all attendees leave eager for more BBYO?
How will you share upcoming event information so everyone knows what's next?
