Meeting Design Week in Lloret de Mar

Meeting Design

Meeting Design is a relatively new profession. We see Meeting Designers as professionals who work with meetings as a specific means of communication.

Their task is to bring content, objectives and participants’ expectations together, designing a programme that is effective, engaging and conducive towards the organizational objectives.

They work for the Meeting Owner and often partner up with PCO’s, AV Companies, Speakers and Facilitators. Their final consumers are the meeting participants.

Their clients’ desires are the design compass by which they sail.

Testimonials

The Meeting Design Course, Level 1 was the perfect mix of theory and practice with quite challenging group exercises in real world scenarios which really had an impact on the way we will approach events in future. With Mike we had a very experienced expert and mind-set changer and learned a lot about maximizing meeting effectiveness by better activating the bodies and souls who are present.

As expected the course was inspiring and refreshing. Lots of input and exercises to stimulate our brains and think out of the box. And both Eric and Mike are very good trainers. I really enjoyed it, and the group was fun, too!

The Meeting Design Course, Level 1 is a strong and deep experience! Now I have got new sharp tools to deal with projects, both when designing events form the start and when it comes to give a little powerful tweak to a meeting already structured. Thanks Eric!
