This conference design training has been developed to successfully integrate doctoral students and postdocs into conference projects and facilitate the acquisition of funding. It will provide you with the opportunity to actively approach professors, foundations, and third-party funders, present innovative, well-thought-out ideas, and acquire skills that can be beneficial in future professional endeavors.

Description
There are countless event formats out there, but whether it's a conference, retreat, or summer school: Events are only successful when they meet or exceed the expectations of the target audience. But what exactly do your participants expect from your event?
This training and its accompanying materials are the essence of a three-year research project in Vienna that analyzed the expectations and needs of event participants. The careful distillation of all research results led to 9 core expectations and 39 solutions for meeting them optimally.
Guided by an event expert, you will immediately develop suitable designs with our digital deck of cards. With our collaborative approach, everyone on the team can contribute their knowledge and ideas to create professional event designs during the training and future meetings.
