Connections made as the schedule is finalised

Schedule finalised - I think
As far as I know, all the last changes and additions to the schedule are now in place after a review of all the relevant information:  session titles, names of speakers, local times, descriptions, web addresses, e-mail addresses and so forth and fifth and sixth. A few errors have been detected (mine), corrections and apologies are ongoing.

Statistics is fun - really
All the above info was first published on the GCC website using Dreamweaver. Then the same info was republished on the Eventbrite booking site, where tickets can be booked and monitored. The Eventbrite site offers some great tools for creating widgets and buttons, as well as lists and charts of statistics.

See below for two examples

1) How the sales have progressed over time
I notice that ticket bookings peaked last weekend when I posted all the sessions, one-by-one, on Facebook. I like Facebook!

2) Who's attending which session, and where they live.
There's a lot of people from the USA and Europe.
The GCC want to reach Asia, Africa and Australia too. It's a global event!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Connections and Networking

With the information at hand about the Speakers and Participants, most of whom are coaches, the GCC was this weekend able to assist in connecting Speakers with their Participants (so that they could get to know each other, share materials and prepare for the session); and connect all the Participants who are going to attend the same session (so that they can get to know each other and create alliances even now).

The Speakers are still in the early stages of informing their networks about their session at the GCC, and Participants are being encouraged to spread the word within their respective networks too. I guess that the many coach networks and forums will be flooded with calls and notices this month.

Note
The time difference USA - Australia is about the same as Europe - USA, but in the other direction, on a different day.
