Get Ready to Make a Difference: A Three-Lens Approach to Preparing for Your Next Learning Event

Planning and executing learning events requires time, energy, and resources. There’s a lot to get ready! During this session, we’ll look at planning through three lenses to make sure your participants get the learning experience they expect and deserve.

Using resources developed for their e-book, Conferences That Make a Difference, the session leaders, Nancy Bacon and Mark Nilles, will couch the discussion in the context of a place-based conference workshop session, but the concepts and take-aways apply to most types of learning and training events learning businesses develop and deliver.

  • Lens 1: Your presenters
    Most conference sessions rely on external experts who are willing to share their wisdom, ideas, and expertise. We’ll discuss ways to help your presenters get ready to deliver great sessions.
  • Lens 2: Your participants
    Participants who come to the conference primed to learn benefit more during and after the event. We’ll explore ways to prime your participants for success.
  • Lens 3: You!
    You have a lot to do—from managing registration to developing a conference program and more. We’ll focus on a few key aspects to help you prepare properly.

With actionable ideas and tools at your fingertips, you’ll leave this session ready to apply these three lenses to your next conference or learning event.
