Couch Chat - Meetings & Education
Facilitator-led conversations amongst your association peers.
Zoom
Event Details
Couch Chats are facilitator-led conversations in which you engage and connect with your peers virtually to discuss the changing business environment and association dynamics. Couch chats are not like traditional education sessions where you just "listen", but rather, we encourage you to actively participate in the conversations. If you have questions, challenges, or successes to discuss, please join us!
Join us for a robust conversation on the state of association events and conferences.
It’s no surprise that live events are back – but that doesn’t mean it’s back to business as usual. As association professionals and services providers to associations, we can’t just produce expos, meetings, conventions, and events – we must get creative in serving members in anchoring the human experience in every choice we make.
We will discuss topics such as:
- How to innovate event production with non-traditional scheduling that incorporates elements of wellness to provide attendees with what they want, while also meeting them where they are at.
- What can associations do to enhance the attendee experience?
- What considerations must be made when negotiating contracts?
- How can we curate content and learning opportunities that compel attendance?
Come ready to share your insights and ask questions of your colleagues!
Audience
Although this Couch Chat is designed for Meeting & Education professionals, anyone may attend.
