Innovative organisations use professional conference facilitators to optimise their company gatherings
The facilitator’s role is to draw out everyone’s views and create a balanced discussion summary. Sometimes, the facilitator may ask provocative questions to bring out the truth and cut through ‘group think’. They will keep the agenda moving and ensure that objectives are achieved.
Balancing the use of technology with live interaction in a conference or meeting is a challenge we wholeheartedly embrace. Whether your audience is in one place or spread across the globe we can ensure everyone is engaged.
We will help you to create and deliver a programme that includes discussion, movement, entertaining presenters with a variety of media.
Tools like Slido enable every delegate to contribute in real time from wherever they are and our energisers eliminate boredom and invigorate delegates.
We can also coach your presenters so that they don’t come across as the ‘weakest link’. In the past we’ve used interviews, videos and quizzes in place of PowerPoint presentations to keep the audience engaged and to bring out the best in the presenter.
To be an effective corporate conference facilitator and conference moderator it’s necessary to both be well informed and sufficiently impartial to ask the bold questions, without getting hung up in internal politics.
Additionally, an in-depth knowledge of other industries can often help unlock breakthroughs.
Unlike a keynote speaker, a conference facilitator is not required to tell their own story. The conference facilitator’s role is to ask questions that create your story. For example by sharing positive experiences and lessons learned from across the organisation.
