The best programme formats for small groups:
Round-table conversation (8-15 people): creates dialogue around a theme with a moderator. In the masterclass, an expert shares knowledge and the group actively joins in. Shared dining lets the food facilitate the conversation. The walking meeting stimulates creativity because you walk together.
With small groups you don't need to follow a tight schedule. Leave room for spontaneity. That flexibility is a luxury you don't have at larger events.
