We recognize that providing unique and appropriate event content is critical to driving attendance. Meeting Expectations has extensive experience working with conference speakers and trainers. We have effectively managed conferences with more than 350 speakers from around the world. In addition, we have coordinated speakers through any number of intricate processes involving development of speaker support Web sites, managing iterative proofing procedures, overseeing the development of conference proceedings in a variety of formats (binders, CD and Web). We provide the framework and management support for soliciting and coordinating the content that is the nucleus of educational events. These services include:

• Agenda development - we are experts at arranging approved presentations to prevent track and speaker conflicts to ensure that the final product provides for attendees with specific interests.
• Content solicitation and management - we manage all aspects of the call for presentations process, including online forms, committee review and voting, acceptance and rejection letters, and iterative proofing.
• eLearning infrastructure management - we've successfully developed and managed standalone eLearning programs, as well as real-time and archived event presentations over the Internet.
• Materials management - we collect presentation artifacts, such as white papers and presentations (including those inevitable submissions while on site) and ensure that they are distributed to the correct session rooms in time for the presentation.
• Online content management system - in conjunction with one of our development partners, we have designed and managed intricate and complex content management processes – all online.
• Policy enforcement - we are experts at the art of gentle strength when it comes to presenter policy enforcement. From compliance forms distribution to collection, we make it easy.
• Presentation selection facilitation - whether selection is done by an individual or multiple committees or groups, we have developed systems to simplify the process.
• Presenter communication - we provide speakers the information that they need, when they need it. We communicate expectations and establish a comfort level with presenters so they can focus on delivering quality presentations.
• Presenter support Web sites - in conjunction with one of our development partners, we have developed clear, concise presenter support Web sites to ensure that presenters are at ease with where they are in the process, and have all of the information they need at their fingertips.
• Program guide and agenda development - we create order out of chaos, collecting and assembling the multitude of information into a well-laid-out, easy-to-understand onsite program guide. We've developed both hard copy and versions for handheld computers and PDAs.
• Speaker/entertainment procurement - need a big name speaker or named entertainment? Our industry contacts can provide entertainers to maximize attendee draw, while not breaking the bank.
• Timeline development and management to ensure the content management process runs as smoothly as possible.
