Season Two, Episode Three | Pitch Perfect: What Makes a Good Workshop

What makes a workshop proposal go from good idea to yes, we want this on the programme?

In this episode of BSME Talks, BSME's Nalini Cook and Kirsty Crosby take a closer look at what makes a workshop proposal stand out, and what can make one fall flat.

They talk about the things they look for when reviewing workshop proposals from educators, how to clearly communicate the value of a session, why practical takeaways matter, and the importance of showing how you’ll actually engage your audience.

They also get into some of their biggest pet peeves; from proposals that try to cover everything, to vague titles, buzzwords and sessions that sound more like presentations than workshops.

And there’s plenty of advice for BSME Partners thinking about submitting a workshop proposal. 

What should you include? What should you avoid? And how can you make your proposal compelling enough to make someone want to be in the room?

Whether you’re an experienced workshop facilitator or submitting an idea for the first time, there are plenty of tips to take away.

Listen in and make us want to be in the room.
