The need for learning and engagement.
The need for smaller conferences or seminars is much like the argument for small classroom size. Similar to the argument for smaller classrooms, conferences with less than 250 attendees do the following:
- Create conditions that encourage learning.
- Leave room for more individual attention from keynoters and speakers.
- Allows keynoters and speakers to engage more with attendees.
- By having a combination of national and regional speakers, you can cover more ground on topics of integrating Social Media into Human Resources, Talent Acquisition Public Relations, Marketing, Branding, Customer Service, and Sales.
