Conference Facilitator

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.

Insights into Facilitating a Successful Conference

Below are a selection of our blogs that will give you some insights to techniques for facilitating great conferences.

Client Testimonials

Managers Conference for 200

“The feedback post dinner last night has been simply the best we have ever had. Our people have gone away feeling valued and energised for the next stage of our EPIC journey. It was truly humbling to hear so many positive and upbeat comments about our journey and future from people who do such incredible work.

This has been the most high impact conference we have ever given. I can’t thank you enough for supporting us to deliver it in a way that has made our people feel so proud of their work and the company they work for.”

CEO of Turnaround Business
Series of Remote Culture Building Workshops

“Our staff were able to easily access the workshops from their sites and services. People really appreciated the variety of content and high level of interaction. I was delighted with the quality of staff contributions, the stories from the frontline were exceptionally moving.

The time and cost savings over a classroom programme were significant, so we could include more people, thereby getting views from all corners of the organisation. Participants have described the workshops as fun, inspiring and better than other ‘live’ programmes they’ve attended, giving an average 4.6 star rating.”

HRD
Leadership Conference for 300

“Organising my first managers conference was a daunting prospect, being able to call upon their years of experience, Fresh Tracks provided both practical support and reassurance to me personally.

The elation I felt when the conference was underway with people laughing, engaged and delighted to be there was unforgettable.”
