Conferences
Unconferences • Open Space Conferences
Conferences should be embraced, not endured. Unleash the power of engagement with our uniquely interactive un-conferences. The key to an extraordinary conference is stepping away from the podiums, the presentations, and the panels: liberate the participant. There is no conference too big or too small to be saved from itself. Let us show you a better way!
- Participant-driven, flexible agendas
- Small group discussions, exercises, activities
- Real-time feedback and documentation
- Technology enabled collaboration
- Balance networking, learning, and working
Case Study: American Cancer Society
We have proudly partnered with The American Cancer Society on dozens of initiatives including designing and facilitating a recent National Cervical & HPV Cancer Conference. One hundred and fifty participants representing more than 80 organizations gathered for three days of learning, networking, and planning. Roundtable leaders were bold enough to adopt an Unconference approach – replacing the traditional PowerPoint presentations with three days of small group discussions, learning activities, best practice exchanges, dialogue, debate, an afternoon of strategic ideation, and even some dancing! The conference was an enormous success. Few organizations convene as strategically and effectively as the American Cancer Society. We are grateful for the trust they have placed in Soisson & Associates over the years.
You WANT to work with Ryan! He is fun. He keeps a fast, yet flexible pace. He has a great sense of humor. He is a clever illustrator! I would choose Ryan to facilitate a meeting or a project every single time.
