Do your conference programs contain sessions you belatedly discover were of little interest or value to most attendees? If so, you’re wasting significant stakeholder and attendee time and money — your conference is simply not as good as it could be. Now imagine you used event crowdsourcing to routinely create conference programs that reliably include the sessions and session content attendees actually want and need. How much value would that add to your event; for your attendees, your sponsors, and your bottom line? Event Crowdsourcing: Creating Meetings People Actually Want and Need will show you how to create conference programs that reliably become what your attendees want and need. The product of my 33 years of participant-driven conference program design experience, Event Crowdsourcing clearly explains everything you need to know to successfully integrate effective real-time event crowdsourcing into your meeting programs and sessions. The book clearly explains program and session crowdsourcing and how to use it to improve your events. It also includes a comprehensive set of crowdsourcing techniques and describes how to choose the right ones for your meetings. When you read it and apply what you learn, I guarantee your events will be better!
