    @Matthew:Thanks for reading and cmimentong. Research by VCC and Tagoras in Fall of 2011 found that two-thirds of meeting professional respondents do not believe that marquee names sell conference or event registration. If you are trying to sell a conference to your boss, you need to do your homework first. Questions to consider are: Who is the audience for the conference? What problems are you helping potential attendees resolve? Who are the potential competitors? How large is the market for that conference? Who are the economic buyers for the conference the attendee or their boss? What are the goals of the conference? Ultimately, you should marketing the conference according to what potential attendees value. You can't use a one-size-fits-all marketing strategy here.C-suite executives don't judge conferences based on marquee name speakers. They judge them based on the learning outcomes and what attendees will learn.

    Jeff, of your list of 11 good conference chnages, 1-8 & 11 perfectly describe EventCamp East Coast, which I'm returning from (sitting at gate B62 at IAD) as I write this.I haven't found that #9 is necessary. For traditional presentation-heavy sessions, yes, but that's not what happens at a peer conference.I love simulations (#10)—they are a great way to provide an effective learning environment—but, of course, they need to be prepared in advance so are rarely seen at Conferences That Work.As I think you know, my #12 would be giving the conference participants the power and support to create the conference sessions that they want, not ones that experts think they want. But I'm not sure that you and I will ever agree about this addition-though I wish you'd come and experience this approach at one of my events rather than dismissing it—I think you'd love how we do #11.Best wishes, as always,-Adrian-

    I was wondering if you ever coeeidsrnd changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Well, the 2010 EventCamps (February, NYC; September, Twin Cities; and the upcoming November, East Coast) are all great exmeplas of what your linkees are asking for.Each event has a similar target audience—event professionals—but offers a unique approach, shaped by the personalities and interests of the organizers.EC NYC started the trend a low cost event run by experienced, passionate volunteers with a rich smorgasbord of innovative sessions.Next was EC Twin Cities, which expanded the definition of what a hybrid event could be like, coupled with a program where every session took risks.Coming up: EC East Coast, which will use a radical, participant-driven, intimate approach where the optimal conference program is created by the attendees at the event.And next year, there's the National EC in Chicago I'll have to leave it to you Jeff to let us know what you guys are cooking up!Yes, every EventCamp organizer—including you of course, Jeff—is wearing camo (or blue buffalo hats in the case of EC NYC!)
