Concurrents & Breakouts
When you bring Pat in to speak at your conference, you will want to take full advantage of her expertise. She wants to make the most of her time with your people, too.
One way to accomplish this is to follow up Pat's conference keynote or general session with one or more breakout or concurrent sessions. These sessions can be used to focus on applying the ideas introduced in the keynote, or to introduce new concepts that couldn't be covered in the time available during the general session.
Here are a few suggestions for value-added concurrent and breakout sessions. These sessions generally run from 45 to 90 minutes in length.
