Straight from the Conference Manager's Desk ....

Continuing on from our last newsletter, here are the next 2 tips in our series of 12, to help make your corporate conference an even bigger success - from Ron Kaufman's article on Customer Service Training:

3. Distribute a participants' networking sheet

Gather names and complete contact information of all conference delegates. Assemble them in a user-friendly networking sheet for during and after your conference.

Use a digital camera to include a head-and-shoulder portrait of each conference delegate. This makes it easy for participants to find each other during the event, and to remember each other afterwards.

4. Use a variety of activities

Keep your conference engaging and unique. Employ a wide range
of conference activities: speeches, conference games, interactive workshops, exhibitions, panel discussions, question-and-answer sessions with presenters, customers and suppliers, themed meals, and social events etc.
