Why this course is recommended by the IOC
This course has been critical in refining my approach to planning and executing online events. The models, methods, and strategies introduced are not only effective, but also straightforward to grasp and implement.
I particularly enjoyed the sense of community fostered throughout the course. Rather than solely relying on the trainer's expertise, participants actively engaged with each other, sharing insights and experiences. This collaborative environment enriched the learning experience for everyone involved.
The course delivery struck a balance between informative instruction and experiential learning. It draws on the collective expertise of participants, providing a holistic understanding of best practices in online event management. As a result, I now feel equipped with a clear structure that promotes engagement and inclusivity, enhancing the overall success of my online events.

Conclusion
This training equips participants t hold great online events. Here’s what you can expect after the training:
Inclusive participation. Be ready to facilitate genuine dialogue, wherever your attendees are. No more awkward silences!
Memorable sessions. Upgrade from dull talk-over-slides so that key messages get through, and participants are ready to take action.
Better tech decisions. Choose and use the right tools, and be prepared to deal with everyday technical issues on delivery day.
Practical teamwork. Understand how best to collaborate with colleagues, speakers and other stakeholders.
Confident planning. Know exactly what needs to be done before, during and after events to deliver results.
The focus of this training is on workshops, training and higher-stakes events, rather than every day or repeating meetings, but many of the key learnings will easily transfer to these other contexts.
