Make productive participation the epicentre of your conference
Presentations from the platform are all well and good and often have their place. But the fact remains that the combined knowledge of the assembled audience is more likely to be greater than that of any single speaker.Better input will result in better outcomes and deliverables
If delegates arrive better briefed and better prepared for participatory activities, and they are allowed a direct influence on the formats of these activities, you are far more likely to achieve outcomes that make a more meaningful contribution to your processes and organisation. That is why an EventExtra Communications and Collaboration platform dovetails so well with EventExtra OpenSpace activitiesEventExtra™ OpenSpace designs innovative and well proven formats to greatly enhance delegate productivity at the event by increasing the prospect of change delivery after the event.

Turn talking shops into productive workshops
EventExtra™ OpenSpace facilitated activities substantially increase ownership of workshop outcomes simply by creating environments more directly relevant to delegates’ needs and interests.
Traditional workshop formats are great for creating a lot of activity and theatre – and even good intent - but few recommendations or proposals are ever implemented afterwards. And your delegates are wise to it.
100% buy-in
EventExtra™ OpenSpace introduces a 100% buy-in approach. We use techniques to ensure that any recommendations and proposals put forward by teams carry the total support of those teams.Of course there can never be 100% buy-in for the business until senior management have also bought into the ideas. But there’s a much stronger incentive to support the transfer from recommendation to implementation when management knows that all the ideas presented to them have the declared support of everyone in the workgroups.
Everyone is heard
EventExtra OpenSpace formats ensure that participatory activities are not hi-jacked by the most articulate, language proficient or vociferous participants. Everyone gets heard voice and everyone’s contributions or opinions count.
