By organizing Synthetron sessions before the conference, organizer turns a short lived event into a collaborative process involving participants before the actual event. It has demonstrated to be an effective approach to engage a large group of people who are experts on particular issues and whose involvement and commitment is crucial for the conference have impact in various assignments.

Participants can share their assessment of specific situations, scope and prioritize the issues as they perceive them in an one-hour web-enabled peer discussion. After analysis, the results provide crucial input for the content of the conference the way to position and communicate about the conference topics. This helps to shift focus from “what is the issue” to “how can we progress”.

It is an effective approach, to track feedback and “buy-in” of participants in order to measure impact and formulate focused follow-up actions and to continuously engage a large group of people in the conference findings.

Synthetron sessions also proved to be an effective mechanism to test the congress findings with relevant individuals, who could not attend the conference itself.

If the conference locations support participant’s connection via PC, Synthetron will allow the conference program to build in moments of real “many to many” collaboration. This way all participants can contribute and all collaboratively identify the most important messages feedback on conference subject, input for work out sessions, sense of alignments.. etc
