Giving a conference a hot topic isn’t the only way to draw crowds; some cool add-ons can also attract an audience. Travelbags spend a lot of time matching suitable add-ons to our events to make them all the more worthwhile for you, the attendee.
What makes a conference exciting and enticing for the delegate? Firstly, the topic, then the sponsor, the host or the speaker… something ignites their interest and they go, “Yes! I want to attend that conference”. That is if you are not simply obligated to attend certain conferences for work purposes. In this case, the question is, what makes a conference something that a delegate will look forward to attending?
Travelbags thinks about these aspects when it comes to our lunches. What extras or add-ons can we offer to make the event really exciting and something that our guests/delegates will find enticing to attend? Sponsorships are key, as these types of conferences or events offer other service providers platforms to speak to a captive audience and showcase their offerings or products. This could be anything that a conference organiser might think their delegates would have an interest in and would be a value add for the conference. Hence why relationships and people are so important in this industry; it’s the people that make for a great event or conference.
Panel discussions, or mentorship programmes offer great add-ons for conferences. These offer delegates opportunities to focus on certain issues and ask questions as well as get involved in smaller group environments to discuss topics and share ideas. Speaking with delegates instead of at them will increase involvement, achievement and personal gratification for all those who attend.
