Meeting in the Cloud: Designing Learning for the Virtual Brain

Virtual meeting technologies are not only changing the way we meet – they are changing the way we think, learn, and interact.  Every new technology our minds create alters and rewires our brain: there are different mental faculties used, different sensory experiences and, not at all least, different forms of communication.  This brain-friendly session provides an understanding and a personal experience of what’s happening in attendees’ brains during virtual meetings, along with strategies and tools for working with the brain to maintain attention, engagement, learning, and that all-important element of social presence.  A few simple principles will enable you to design virtual or hybrid events that optimize the attendee experience and empower you to achieve your meeting’s objectives with both local and remote attendees.

Speaker: Andrea Sullivan

Engagement for Commitment-phobes

Are your attendee relationships short-lived?  Maybe you’ve been hurt in the past and are searching for the perfect connection.  Your friends say you’re just picky and your expectations are too high, but you’re starting to wonder if you might be commitment phobic.  Everyone feels overwhelmed at the beginning of the relationship with attendees.   Join in a cathartic self-help session where you’ll be supported in working through a step-by-step roadmap for the ideal event relationship.  By the end, you’ll be happily walking down the aisle of attendee engagement.

Learner Objectives:

1) Map the online and physical event attendee’s experience to your business goals and objectives

2) Identify and incorporate attendee’s requirements, desires, and point of view

3) Develop engagement tactics and elements of the experience that result in the “do, think, feel” for attendees
