You're imagining a peer conference: a conference that is small, attendee-driven, inclusive, structured, safe, supportive, interactive, community-building, and provides opportunities for personal and group reflection.

Over the last twenty years, thousands of people have discovered and enjoyed the benefits and delights of peer conferences. Now, in his new book Conferences That Work: Creating Events That People Love, Adrian Segar, the creator of peer conferences, explains why attendees are so enthusiastic about them, and provides complete details on how to organize and run one.

The book is divided into three parts.

In Part I, Reengineering the Conference, you'll discover how key assumptions made about the format and structure used in most conferences today are fundamentally flawed, and you'll learn a better way to structure what happens at a conference, a way that significantly improves the conference experience of each individual attendee.

In Part II, Planning and Preparing for Your Peer Conference, Adrian Segar takes you step by step through everything you need to know to prepare for your conference.

And in Part III, Running Your Peer Conference, he covers conference setup and the nitty-gritty details of running a successful conference, from start to finish.

Whether you're a conference planner, a professional who wants to benefit from focused, face-to-face connections with peers, or just someone who wants to share with and learn effectively from fellow enthusiasts, Conferences That Work: Creating Events That People Love is your one-stop resource of practical information and tools to help you plan and facilitate conferences that are meaningful and memorable--every time.
