Here’s a tip for sharing new ideas from from individual conference attendees into a shared resource that can be used by everyone. Create a form like the one illustrated above, and make multiple copies easily available at all sessions (place them on tables, have a stack by the room entrances etc.) At the start of the event, encourage attendees to use the forms to write down best practices, tips, and ideas sparked during sessions, explaining that all contributions will be compiled and shared with everyone after the conference. Provide boxes for attendees to post completed forms. Once the conference is over, promptly summarize the ideas shared and post the resulting document on the conference website or other conference community.
Like this tip for sharing new ideas? Thank the organizers of the MGMA PEER conference, where I first saw this idea in action.
Perfect way to create value after the event. This will get repeat customers!
