Years ago, as part of some volunteer work, I used to arrange international guest speakers for confernces.I learnt very quickly that the bigger the “name,” the more cooperative, helpful and time generous they were. The “difficult” ones were those who weren't as important as they thought they were.

And, of course, my favourite; make sure you have fun.
