Formats

Peter loves live training courses that take place completely detached from the work routine. All senses are addressed here and the personal exchange with colleagues is in the foreground.

The classic „in-person“ congress is suitable if:

• personal exchange, building up new bonds, and fostering existing relations are a key priority to stakeholders
• travel time to/from the event is low compared to the duration of the program
• the accompanying industrial exhibition is of high importance
• the budget risk is well manageable
• speakers are onsite.

Greta is very communicative and likes to be in an online discourse with colleagues, but she is not always able to attend face-to-face conferences. Hybrid formats that have a virtual focus are perfect for her because she can also actively participate in the discussion.

This approach is suitable if:

• the meeting venue has a limited capacity, or onsite participation is limited for easier budget planning
• participation in-person is deliberately limited to create a more exclusive onsite experience, without excluding those who are primarily interested in the content (virtual participation)
• sponsorship for satellite symposia or marketing services is significantly more relevant than the income from the accompanying trade exhibition
• a fair share of the target audience is open for a virtual participation
• an emergency plan is required for a short-term change from face-to-face to 100% virtual (e.g. events ban – COVID pandemic).

Eliza regularly organizes congresses herself and loves the flexibility of different formats. Tailored to the target group, the content and the general conditions.
