Webinar #2: Boost Your Learning Programs: From Good Speakers to Great Experiences

With all the complexities of event planning, it's easy to let your breakout sessions “take care of themselves”  – but your audience is counting on you to deliver a learning program that truly resonates and adds value. The reality is that technical expertise doesn't automatically translate to great speaking or exceptional audience experiences, which means even your most knowledgeable presenters might be falling flat. This webinar will show you exactly how to transform your speakers into a value-delivery machine, with breakout sessions that attendees rave about long after your conference ends. Learn practical strategies for speaker training, effective presentation review processes, and how to set clear expectations that ensure every session delivers real value. The result? An audience blown away by the caliber of your learning program, eager to register for next year’s conference.

Key Takeaways:
• Speaker Integration Strategies:  How to make your speakers feel like valued team members rather than external vendors, resulting in more engaged and prepared presenters
• Training & Review Systems: Proven frameworks for conducting speaker training webinars and reviewing slide decks that actually improve audience experience
• Audience-Centered Alignment: How to ensure every speaker understands your audience's needs, challenges, and goals so their content truly resonates and delivers actionable value
