## Who it is for

- Corporate event managers running the annual strategy meet
- HR and L&D leads supporting leadership communication
- Internal communications teams who own messaging

## How to use it

1. Agree the meet’s three messages with leadership before any design work starts.
2. Capture employee code, location and function at registration so reports can be sliced afterwards.
3. Keep a single owner for the agenda sheet and version it every time it changes.
4. Plan the first two weeks after the meet; that is when actions are agreed or forgotten.

## Questions people ask

What data should we collect at registration?

Collect only what you will use: employee code, location, function and dietary needs. Each field should have a reason, and a report you plan to produce from it.

How do we engage a large audience?

Use polls for quick votes, quizzes for energy and a feedback form for each session. Keep each short and let managers switch them on live, so the stage and the app move together.

What happens after the meet?

Publish the key messages and actions in the app, assign an owner to each action and schedule a check-in at thirty days. Without that, a strong meet has little effect afterwards.
