Last week, I hosted Learnapalooza. In its 8th year, we decided to go hybrid and see if we could bring innovation and disruption to people all over the world, not just in person. Who do you reach out to when you want to go big? You go to the BEST. You go to John Chen. He agreed to be our hybrid event partner and lead producer for Learnapalooza. So, what happened? We blew the lid off of any other hybrid event. Here is a quote from an attendee: 🎉 "This has been the best hybrid event I have attended. Ever!" 🎉 This is something you don’t normally hear. Why? Because most of the events and conferences... heck even meetings, are NOT engaging.   Guess what? Over the span of three transformative days, prepare to immerse yourself in 20 hours of enlightening content, brought to you by a line-up of distinguished speakers at The Engaging Conference. Each expert is ready to unravel practical yet powerful strategies, providing an in-depth exploration of how to elevate your virtual and hybrid events. Every session is meticulously crafted to unveil actionable insights, ensuring that your time is invested in a powerhouse of valuable learning. You’re not just signing up for a conference; you’re stepping into a realm where engagement and innovation intersect, promising an experience that transcends the ordinary.

How important is having various speakers? Most summits/ conferences tend to pull people in by the speaker names and the number of sessions. It seems like the more volume, the more impactful the event appears to be. Our question to you is, does the number of speakers and sessions determine whether you’ll attend? Or do you place more value in the content that will actually be shared? Comment below!

Do you want to do more speaking at industry conferences? You're going to love Speaker Spotlight Tips, where we share wisdom directly from the people who select speakers for their members.
