Challenges Faced

In this project, my main challenges revolved around creating a compelling and engaging conference experience for Aquanet's employees. The scope included conceptualizing the entire event, conducting thorough research to identify relevant topics, and defining the overarching theme "Wdech/Wydech. Rozmowy o człowieku, życiu i naszym zdrowiu" ("Inhale/Exhale. Conversations about people, life, and our health").

Recruiting the right experts to participate in the conference was another crucial challenge. It required identifying and inviting guest speakers who could provide valuable insights and expertise on the chosen topics. This involved reaching out to various professionals, persuading them to participate, and coordinating their involvement in the event.

Additionally, developing a coherent and impactful agenda, complete with a well-structured pathway for discussions, was instrumental in ensuring a smooth flow of the conference. Creating content and visual materials for the internal communication of the event, including graphic design elements for promotional materials, added to the complexity of the project.

Furthermore, I needed to handle the technical aspects of the virtual conference, ensuring the seamless operation of the chosen platform (ClickMeeting) and moderating the discussions during the event.

Finally, providing a comprehensive summary and debrief to the Aquanet's management team after the conference was essential for evaluating the event's success and identifying areas of improvement for future endeavors.
