Meeting Design
Consulting services to improve meetings and conferences.
A more consultative process, meeting and event design helps you restructure your meetings to better serve their purpose. For example, if your big annual conference isn’t connecting with sponsors and isn’t producing the breakthrough learning and networking attendees demand, an event strategist helps fix those challenges to produce a better event. Or, if your weekly staff meeting is all talk and no action, redesigning the meeting agenda and flow can give you that change.
Networking and Connection-Building
Improve the quantity and quality of matches.
Many meetings and conferences succeed when participants truly connect with each other. Some meetings are explicitly geared to connect people – buyers and sellers, cross-discipline researchers, etc. – and others need to build connections and foster community as a secondary objective. As networking facilitators, we use a variety of tested methods to dramatically improve attendee networking beyond simply hoping for magic hallway moments.
Professional Meeting Facilitation Services
We save you time and get you better results by facilitating your meetings.
Our professional meeting facilitation services focus on engaging, participatory meetings with an eye on real results. The on-site or online meeting facilitation is informed by pre-meeting design, prep, and research. We can also do online facilitation (e.g. Zoom facilitation) and assist as a corporate retreat facilitator, board retreat facilitator, or conference facilitator.
