A well-organised conference has a clear content programme, well-briefed speakers, a venue with the right technical infrastructure and enough space for informal contacts. Plan at least eight to twelve weeks in advance. Communicate with participants early.
Provide interactive elements: people remember what they do themselves. Keep the plenary sessions short and alternate with workshops. A conference without follow-up loses half its value. Live Impact organises conferences from 50 to 2,000 participants.
