This could be useful :-) Excerpts "When it comes to getting company buy-in on conferences, content matters, while size is a variable." "A small conference that sharply aligns with your company’s focus might help you build a stronger case than something huge and overly general. Even at big conferences, though, the case you want to make is built on details." https://lnkd.in/ggxz2xAQ Good luck with "the convincing"!

Are you telling stories at your events? Stories are how we connect. They make us feel, remember, and act. The same is true for events Think about it: the best events don’t just share information They take people on a journey. From the opening keynote to the breakout sessions, to the conversations in the hallway—every piece should tie into a bigger story What’s the “why” behind your event? What’s the feeling you want attendees to walk away with? What's the objective? Where is your attendee at before the event, and where do you want them to be at the end? When you design every element to fit into that story, it’s not just an event. It’s an experience people won’t forget This applies to 50 person workshops and 2,000 person conferences Remember, stories don’t have to be complicated... ...Sometimes the simplest ones are the most powerful.

With the conference season approaching, it's essential to keep in mind that "Where have you been?" holds more weight than "Why did you come?". It's easy to lose sight of our significance by focusing on superficial aspects, ultimately wasting valuable time for ourselves and others. One key practice before organizing any event is to ask: What is my objective? Will this event align with my goals? By staying aligned with these questions, we can ensure that our time and efforts are invested wisely, leading to more impactful outcomes. #Conferences #Networking #EventPlanning
