Program scheduling and selection. During the planning of the annual meeting, the number of programs and their combinations are pre-set and adjusted. The number of externally sourced programs versus internally produced ones, the types of externally sourced programs, the types of internally produced programs, and the overall coordination of the programs all directly impact the attendees' overall experience of the meeting. It is recommended to allocate programs based on the attendees' interest concentration, with the opening program being grand and impactful, and humorous interactive programs serving as transitions. For the entire annual meeting, approximately 2-3 externally sourced programs and 7 internally produced ones (adjustable based on actual circumstances) are suggested.

Responsibilities for each stage should be assigned. The overall annual meeting requires: 1 person for overall planning and control, 1 person for venue management, 1 person for design liaison, 2 program leaders (1 for program quality and 1 for on-site coordination on the day of the meeting), 2 guest coordinators, and 1 backup staff. This is the basic personnel configuration for the annual meeting, which can be adjusted according to the actual needs.
