Facilitating Impactful Conferences

Leadership conferences that move the needle for the organisation

Whether it be a leadership summit for the top 80 or an all-company conference of 1,000 delegates, our expertise is designing and facilitating an experience that is awesome.

An awesome event inspires. It brings people together. It serves as a catalyst for change. It is something people talk about years from now.

But an event done poorly is costly. It is costly in terms of time, money and wasted opportunity.

Here are a few of our clients’ favourites.

FACILITATION

Whether a conference is 50 people or 500 people, the ingredients of great conference facilitation are the same. A great conference facilitator should:
  • Create theatre: energy, interaction and laughter
  • Engage a diversity of participants from the passionate pupils to the prisoners, different levels of seniority and different cultural backgrounds
  • Have the skill to facilitate interaction at scale, including group discussions, brainstorming, Q&A panels and team activities
  • Have the flexibility to improvise, with a plethora of energisers and activities up their sleeve
  • Alleviate the stress of the organiser – before and during the event

CONFERENCE DESIGN

Every event has two agendas. We ensure clients get both agendas right:

  • The logical agenda (relevant content sequenced in a logical order)
  • The energy agenda (how participants feel before, during and after the event)
