MEETING SYNOPSIS:
Meetings Beyond Logistics: The Art Science of Learning at Meetings.
How do you know when your attendees gained the most out of the meeting? Was the educational aspect well received and understood? Did the program deliver a high and positive return on investment for the attendee's time?
Joan Eisenstodt will be with us to talk about "Meetings Beyond Logistics: The Art Science of Learning at Meetings". In this interactive session discover your own learning style, preferences, and explore the different ways in which education can be delivered at meetings and conferences. Through exercises and experiences, learn how to spice up the learning at your own meetings. For the suppliers among the audience, learn how to be consultative to your clients in their use of space and room sets, adding value to your services. Joan will helps us to gain a better understanding of how to use these tools to better select sites, prepare speakers and ensure return on participants' time.
Joan brings more than 30 years of experience to her work. She founded Eisenstodt Associates, a Washington, DC-based conference and hospitality consulting, facilitation and training company in 1981. She works with corporations, associations, professional societies, foundations, hotel companies and CVBs to facilitate and design meetings, negotiate contracts, and provides training. Active in PCMA since the mid '80s, and other industry and non-industry associations, Joan's passions for life-long learning and meeting excellence have been well-recognized: she was one of the first four recipients of HSMAI's Pacesetter Award, of IACC's prestigious Pyramid Award, "Planner of the Year" by MPI, inducted into the CIC Hall of Leaders, and most recently PCMA presented Joan with a life-time achievement as an educator honor.
