Planning an event or exhibition stand can sometimes feel like navigating a maze—quick decisions, weighing up the possibilities, and taking calculated risks at every turn. With the rise of virtual and hybrid events, this balance has become even more challenging. There's no room for error, and it's crucial to ensure all stakeholders have equal access to networking, professional development, brand promotion, community building, or revenue generation opportunities. That's where the expertise of a professional conference organiser comes in. From resource management to handling crises with grace, read our latest insight article through the link to see how these experts can elevate your next event from ordinary to extraordinary. https://hubs.la/Q02yMfNy0 #CreativeHire #CHInsights #PCO #ProfessionalConferenceOrganiser #EventProfs #Networking #PD #BrandPromotion

Speakers have a special relationship with conference organizers. It's not mainly about the money, but about the community and flexibility. That's what made YOW! Conferences possible - most speakers could not justify flying to Australia for a talk due to travel overhead. So, Dave Thomas moved the event close to the year-end holidays, when business quiets down in the US and Europe. He also designed a 3-city tour with workshops, which gives speakers additional revenue opportunity and we get to hang out for a weekend - a rare and highly valuable perk for speakers who are scattered across the globe. When business is extraordinarily good, we went sailing for a day, otherwise we play by the beach - everyone's happy in either case. In contrast, I was just told by another event that as a speaker who packed the largest room, held two workshops, and took a hit on travel cost, I am not allowed to take an empty seat for 1 hour in a workshop held by a fellow speaker. Conferences are commercial events, but they're also a relationship business. In some cases, that's more apparent than in others. Sadly, I can't be at Yow! this year, but many totally awesome folks are: https://lnkd.in/ghxsBC7U I'll be teaching a distributed system design workshop in Paris at the same time, on Dec 2.
