If you want to to organize a successful workshoptake note of these tips! You will have to take them into account when preparing your event.
Duration of the workshop
The duration of the workshop is extremely important. There are many studies that determine that the attention span has a duration of approximately 15 minutes. But, generally, people can attend talks of 90 minutes, including in them small intervals of distraction.
What does this mean? That if you want the event attendees to listen to you, make sure that the workshop does not last more than one and a half hours.. After that, most of them may be pretending to listen to you...
Choose a good day to do it
Stand in front of a calendar and choose the best day to do the workshop. It is better that it does not not coincide with trade fairs or other interesting events for your for your audience to ensure maximum attendance of your guests.
In relation to the previous point, it is also important to it is also important to choose a good time. Normally, this time is between 18h and 20h in the evening. Before, it may coincide with the working day. After... well, after 8 pm we are all eager to get home and rest or go out for a drink to disconnect from work.
The place where the workshop will be held also says a lot about the event. Spacious, bright and comfortable spaces: one of the keys to a successful workshop. Did you know that at Aticco we have spaces for your events?

A tip that you can't erase from your mind: ALWAYS personalize the message. This way you will be able to reach each guest in a closer and friendlier way. "Hello, Sergio, how are you?" is better than a simple and cold "Good afternoon, I'm writing to...". Don't you think?
