The events of tomorrow will not look like today’s events. Attendee expectations are higher than ever before and are being shaped by their

Quality content is paramount to any event’s success, however, keeping your conference packed with fresh education and

speakers year after year can be challenging. Finding enough content and speakers to fill your agenda is one thing; finding the

right content and speakers is another. The typical call for papers is a common method of finding speakers, but can often attract

the same group of speakers in your market and can lead to stale content. So how do you find a new, robust pool of potential

speakers who are engaging, knowledgeable, and available? Once you find the content and the speakers, how do you sift through

all the submissions and find the winnings ones for your conference? The answers to these questions will be the focus of this

session as we dive into techniques for not only finding new and engaging content, but how to manage content and speakers

effectively so you can have a winning program year after year.
