Business Events – Sami
Posted by Samantha Kanza in Scenarios and Personas on March 9, 2014
This post contains information about the type of business events our social network would cater for.
Conferences
Definitions
- A conference is a meeting of people who “confer” about a topic.
- Academic conference, in science and academia, a formal event where researchers present results, workshops, and other activities.
- Business conference, organized to discuss business-related matters.
Travel
- Probably need multiple types of transport (unlikely that a train or a bus will run directly to the conference location, and you may have to fly there first) – needs coordination!
Accommodation
- Most conferences aren’t local so chances are people will need accommodation.
Venue
- These come with venues included.
Local Area Info
- Might need entertainment options for guests you’ve brought with you.
- Might want suggestions of places to eat in the evenings if the conference doesn’t provide food, or if you are staying on afterwards.
Weather Forecast
- Possibly less needed here as most conferences involve staying inside.
- However guests might want this information.
Training/Teambuilding Weekends
Definitions
- Team building refers to a wide range of activities, presented to businesses, schools, sports teams, religious or nonprofit organizations designed for improving team performance. Team building is pursued via a variety of practices, and can range from simple bonding exercises to complex simulations and multi-day team building retreats designed to develop a team (including group assessment and group-dynamic games), usually falling somewhere in between.
