Frequently asked questions
How do you create an agenda for a conference day?
Structure the day with: an opening and welcome (15-20 min), 45-60 minute sessions with 15-20 minute breaks every 2 hours, a lunch break of at least 60 minutes, a panel or Q&A, and a closing. Always keep a 10% time buffer for the unexpected.
How long should conference sessions be?
Keep talks to 20-30 minutes to hold the audience's attention. Workshops and panels can run 45-90 minutes with interactive moments. Sessions longer than 60 minutes always need engagement activities.
How do you manage timing at an event with several speakers?
Give each speaker a precise time slot with a 5-minute buffer. Appoint a moderator to keep time. Use visual signals to show the minutes remaining and always have a backup plan for speakers who run late.
