Before, During, and After the Meeting
A conference is about much more than the days participants spend in sessions. It’s part of a conversation that began weeks, months, or years before they arrived onsite, and will continue long after they get home.
You can position your conference as part of a 12-month cycle of learning, deliberation, marketing, product development, listening, or advocacy—whatever it is that your organization set out to achieve when it decided to host a meeting.

Which makes the content and key findings of the conference an important platform for further dialogue, planning, and action.
