Participants demand and deserve more than plenary and panels. We add real collaboration and networking to your gatherings in memorable ways.

• A series of models useful for identifying fresh topics and perspectives in original ways.

• Ways to mix plenary with networking and breakouts activities.

• Graphic facilitation and content visualization to support and facilitate discussions and to explain complex concepts and strategies.

Matter has a unique collaboration methodology that generates robust gatherings that deliver so much more than a couple of good ideas and contacts.

Matter is your partner in overall conference design, workshop design and facilitation, and graphic capture and sense-making. We work with your team to create an original experience for your participants. We facilitate and help identify outstanding facilitators and keynote speakers. We identify topics and formats that maximize engagement and impact.

Whether you need a session that is 2 hours or 4 days long, we help create approaches that engage your participants as they explore critical issues to your industry.

Our highly collaborative methodology allows participants to:• learn from each other;• network at a strategic and operational

level;• discover insights through group

interactions;• explore and test solutions in a safe

environment of diverse peers.

We collect insights, quotes and pictures. Graphic-rich, content-rich insights are illustrated by our artists in one central space, enabling participants to network around content and be informed in new ways.

Content can be generated, collected and illustrated in many ways:• storytelling – graphics that enable you

to tell your story in memorable ways;• harvesting for insights and

synthesizing themes and patterns;• social media to maximize the impact

your images;• infographics and models created to

quickly and clearly explain your ideas;• work products and deliverables to

share conference insights long after your event has ended.

What do you need? Sense-making and graphic capture
