Marjolein van Breemen, Director of Naturalis Biodiversity Center in the Netherlands, gave a webinar sharing her experiences hosting the Ecsite Directors Forum while working at NEMO.
Here are her five standout reasons why you should consider hosting the Directors Forum:
- Networking – both the Host and the participants benefit from being surrounded by international CEOs and directors, enabling you to gain new contacts or reconnect with old ones
- Spread the word – is your organisation new to the Ecsite community, approaching a big milestone or about to reopen? What better way to get to know people and for them to know you
- Hosting a high-profile event – while not as large as the Annual Ecsite Conference, the Directors Forum can give your organisation the opportunity to partner with your local government or other institutions in your area
- Less time consuming than you may think – for an event of this calibre, Marjolein swears that the planning process is smooth with support from the Ecsite team, however, she advises to find a Keynote Speaker early!
- Personalisation – you have the opportunity to personalise the Forum by creating interesting dialogue within the community on relevant topics that could be close to your organisation
