FRESH Conference
 

ABSTRACT / TOPIC / SPEAKER SUBMISSION

Tell us about your topic or a speaker you think we should have on our program.

A FRESH PROGRAM

WHAT'S ON?

The FRESH conference brings fresh topics. Out of the box, fish from out of the usual pond.  All topics have a connection with the learning, networking or motivation of participants and will help you to design and produce more effective meetings or events. You will find FRESH topics you cannot find with your local educational providers.
So we will program:
  • NO sessions about self development (how to be happy or get rich fast, balance life/work, personal brand, ...)
  • NO sessions about broader business topics (Insurance, risk management, marketing, the crisis, ...)
Have a look at the below sessions, and you will see what it is that makes FRESH fresh.

PARTICIPATE in the creation of our program!

Our program contains about 15 sessions for two days in one track, (October 2011). The second track will be created by YOU the participant and the the Linked in Group 'Meeting Architecture': anyone with brilliant or crazy ideas to improve meeting effectiveness.        

WHAT DO YOU WANT 

Do the FRESH SURVEY and tell us what you are interested in most:
