Description:

Do you want to create events that exceed the expectations of your participants?

Take your conference organization skills to the next level! This training is especially suitable for those who never thought that organizing conferences would become such a time-intensive part of their professional life.

Together, we will ensure that your events become successful and efficient!
In this training, you will explore a cutting-edge event design method, developed by an innovation researcher after a three-year study, and discover how to create events that leave lasting impressions. Through hands-on teamwork, you’ll craft event designs tailored to your audience, all while gaining practical tools and strategies to apply in your future endeavors. 

This highly interactive training empowers you to combine creativity and structure, ensuring that each team member’s ideas contribute to your success.

The participants will learn how to: 

• Design Engaging Events: Learn how to develop events that not only resonate with your target audience but also provide long-term value.
  
• Create Tailored Concepts: Gain the skills to design event concepts specifically tailored to each target group.
• Implement successfully: Practice presenting your concepts persuasively and efficiently bringing them to life.
  
• Utilize Practical Tools and Materials: Utilize English-language resources, online templates in Mural, and valuable practical tips for your event planning.
  
• Build Strong Overall Concepts: Develop event strategies that focus clearly on achieving key objectives.
  
• Approach and Collaborate Practically: Work on real-life examples and benefit from peer-to-peer exchange of experiences.
  

For reasons of respect and fairness towards all participants and the workshop leaders, participants who miss more than 10% of the workshop are considered not to be present. You will therefore not receive a certificate and you will not be able to use the workshop in question to unlock funds or acquire further qualifications.

Before you register, please confirm with your supervisor/employer that you are free to participate in the course on that date.
