ABSTRACT

The most successful conferences have a range of inputs which enable participants to be drawn into the content in different ways. Whether you are planning a full-scale conference, or a shorter focused event, you are likely to wish to have more than one kind of input. Different inputs enable participants to do different things. So what do you want your participants to do? To listen? To discuss? To work collaboratively? To share good practice? To gain practical skills? To network? To interact? To reach collective decisions? All of these? Some of these? Something else?
