What we Learned From Previous Immersed Events
• Delegates want more business development opportunities.
• The speakers are in high demand; they often get overrun.
• Audience Q&A is difficult for private plans and ideas.
• Attendees want to avoid choosing one opportunity over another.
• Students want in, but can’t afford entry.
13
INTRODUCING The Immersed Speakers Dinner
• Held in a respected Toronto restaurant.
• Attendance limited to Immersed speakers
and participating sponsors.
• Anticipating 25 to 40 people in attendance.
• Unique and effective access to influential
market leaders.
• Taking place evening of November 7, 2018.
14
INTRODUCING The Immersed Rapid Business Development Program (RBD)
How the RBD Program works:
• Immersed is scheduled into
specialized themes over two days.
• Each segment features an hour-plus
networking opportunity.
• Delegates sign up for available
scheduling with speakers.
• General networking opportunities
are also available.
15
Why RBD is the difference between networking and doing business:
• Accelerates the connections with the right executives.
• Makes for a productive interaction for delegates and speakers.
• Increases the effectiveness and enjoyment of Immersed.
16
