Designed for all speakers (including poster presenters), Dallas Host Committee, NAA Board, NAA Affiliate Leaders, and all exhibitors who are attending NAA’s 2017 Annual Convention.
In an age where information can be found with one click and we count “likes” as engagement, conventions hold the promise of meaningful in-person connection with like-minded colleagues. Only through thoughtful and strategic planning will this promise become a reality for participants. If it does, they will become the best ambassadors, sharing their positive results as evidence that this convention is providing not only valuable content, but opportunities to build a strong professional network.
This webinar prepares the NAA board, convention presenters, and affiliate leaders to fulfill their role as hosts creating a convention culture of inclusion and effective engagement. We will discuss macro concepts (e.g. what makes a convention feel vibrant?) and specific steps to take (e.g. welcoming participants into your space to encourage interaction prior to the program).
