QUALITY doesn’t need to be expensive!
Alison John Associates (AJA) have developed an alternative format for the smaller conference (up to 60 - 100 delegates). This innovative approach takes away the logistic necessity of allocating workshops, as all delegates benefit from being involved in every aspect of the day. The added bonus to this format is that it offers amazing value for money. Each day is designed to ensure that participation and fun are at the heart of the learning.
As a client you would choose 3 topics you would like covered. Decide if you would like Ally John or one of her associates to present a keynote speech and book an accessible venue with a room large enough to:
|
|
 |
be able present information using a digital projector |
|
have every delegate sat cabaret style |
|
room for 8 large additional tables set up (with space around them) for resources and practical activities |
|
have a clear space for playing games – this could be a large clear adjacent room. |
|
|
Catering arrangements and recruitment are the responsibility of the host organisation.
AJA currently offer the following workshops; they usually run for an hour but can be extended if time allows:
All AJA workshops can be found on the workshop page.
