Curious to who you are listening to? My name is Eveline Koeman and I'm from the Netherlands (yes, that's the accent ;). With my 20 years of experience organizing conferences worldwide, I am still so much enjoying the special feeling of being at a conference. It feels as if you are part of a small community for the duration of the conference, with so much potential. That's when I decided to work out all elements I think could come in handy when attending a conference. Check out the parts you are most interested in and maximize your experience.

If I've managed to inspire you to continue to learn, and use the tips I’ve shared to help you get more out of future events, I couldn’t be happier. I hope that you have a lot of takeaways – but even if you remember only 3 things, that’s great!

If you feel you’ve gotten something out of this course, you could really help me by posting a short review via this link. In return I’d like to give you the full e-book of this course, including all downloads and templates.

Or put those LinkedIn skills we discussed in the last chapter to work with a post of the top 3 things you learned from this course and tag me, I would be honoured!

I’m also very happy to see that things are changing in the events industry. Thanks to wellbeing initiatives and innovative event design, we're seeing a shift toward prioritizing well-being at business meetings.

If you learned about this mini course from the organizer of your business event, then that’s proof they’re thinking more about your wellbeing.
