That tends to be better with junior crowds who still find the idea of free food and drink exciting. It isn't very appealing to the more senior executives who've been there, done that a 1,000 times.<BR/><BR/>There is also the issue of keeping events fresh. You very often find that the first or (if you're lucky) 2nd time you do an event, everybody is very excited and fired up by it. By the 3rd time, there's a lot of grumbling about it being "not as good". Most conferences really start to die at about that point.<BR/><BR/>Moving them around can help but the format and content need to be constantly refreshed. Not easy!Paul Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919384343293895311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13109203.post-63180330856962764982007-11-12T22:52:00.000+08:002007-11-12T22:52:00.000+08:00Well, "the key is finding a way to get the audienc...Well, "the key is finding a way to get the audience to interact in a way they find valuable." It seems that this is a question which goes back to the event organizers and ask if they have valuable content that moves the audiences. <BR/><BR/>May be a revisit for the format that we have been practiced for many many times will help. <BR/><BR/>I was in a SEO conference 4 years ago, the organizer simply hosted a cocktail registration one night before the opening day. That warmed everyone up, and the next day, everyone was talking and raising hands for questions. I guess this is about people are more reluctant speaking with strangers. When we get them to know each other before the show, that shorten the distance between people.<BR/><BR/>That's also good for the sponsors to network with the audiences (hey, they are the leads) before the show. The organizers just help to light up the mood a little bit before the audiences get bored by the PPTs and the on stage pitches.<BR/><BR/>I guess if everyone is happy, financial consequence comes afterward.<BR/><BR/>-- just my humble opinion, Eddie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13109203.post-57221170304604496852007-11-12T15:44:00.000+08:002007-11-12T15:44:00.000+08:00Eddie,Thanks for this.

Sam Chambers has, as you say, picked a good topic and an innovative approach.<BR/><BR/>There are plenty of subjects. The key is finding a way to get the audience to interact in a way they find valuable and which can get enough people together that it makes financial sense for sponsors and organisers.Paul Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919384343293895311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13109203.post-62569715572456106432007-11-12T15:40:00.000+08:002007-11-12T15:40:00.000+08:00Paul, this, IMHO, is also a good topic:http://www....Paul, this, IMHO, is also a good topic:<BR/><BR/>http://www.cityconnect.com.cn/<BR/><BR/>I fully agree with you.
