The 3 Cs of Events: Content, Collaboration and Contribution
About this episode
Content matters at events, but not at the expense of collaboration and contribution. In this episode we talk about adjusting the balance so that your attendees aren't just learning but also contributing to your event.
Summary

Clare shares her experiences attending the annual UK conference of the International Association of Facilitators, where facilitators guide discussions and activities to achieve specific goals. She emphasizes the importance of attendee contribution and collaboration in creating a more relevant and valuable event experience.
