We know you’re busy, but even if you’re not there in “body,” you can still be there in “mind.” Our on demand conference replay is a convenient, cost-effective alternative that fulfills your desire for professional enrichment, without a trip to Las Vegas!

 

Office Dynamics produces beautifully crafted, professionally edited videos of each session during the conference, and we’re making them available in one convenient package. That means you can learn on your own schedule and from the comfort of your own desk or home.

How It Works: Easy Access, At Your Fingertips

Immediately after the conference, we add our signature, elegant Office Dynamics touches to each video. The quality is on par with the live experience—it’s like having a front row seat at the conference!

 

You’ll receive unlimited online access to watch the videos, download the participant workbook, along with bonus handouts and materials (if there are any), and experience the power of our world-class speaker line up—all at your own pace, as often as you’d like.

 

Login credentials are delivered within 3-4 weeks after the conference. You’ll create and activate your account, and the learning will be at your fingertips, at your command, and on your schedule from then on.

 

What’s Included: Ideas, Information & Inspiration

  • Unlimited access to our professionally edited video recordings so you can “attend” each session as many times as you’d like. Unlike other Conference On Demands, ours has no expiration date.
  • Full, downloadable participant workbook—the same one our in-person participants receive.
  • Bonus speaker handouts so you can follow along just like you were there (if there are any).

If you’re viewing the conference sessions on your own, here are some ideas to get the most from each content-rich session.

  • As you view each session, take notes on the key takeaway messages that you can use to build your Action Plan.
  • If available, read the Blog article first related to the speaker as pre-course work. (It will be posted at the bottom of the video session page). This will give you a foundation for the information you’re about to hear.
  • If possible, space out your sessions so you can get the most from each one.
  • Create a spreadsheet with the name of each speaker and the title of his or her session. Add columns for:
    • Top 3 Action Items
    • How to Implement (think about your work and personal life)
    • Deadline Date

    If you opt for a Team License for learning as a group, here are some ideas to get the most out of the experience:


    Get organized prior to viewing your sessions:

    • Who is your team leader or facilitator? Consider assigning a different leader for each session to keep your meetings interesting and share the responsibilities.
    • How often will you view sessions?
    • What is the objective when you learn as a group?
    • Can you tie each session’s competencies to your individual development plans or your company mission?

    Prepare your team for productive viewing and implementation:

    • After viewing the session, take turns sharing the notes each person took. Sometimes one participant will hear something important that another did not catch. This will increase the value of your training.
    • Pause the session at any time and focus on the point the speaker just made. Drill down on the information that was presented. How can you apply it as administrative professionals or as a department?
    • Make a list of the top 3 key points each speaker presented. Then build a calendar for future lunch and learn sessions where attendees can bring new information that supports that topic.
    • Hold contests between sessions or at the end of the On Demand Series. After each session, have attendees submit a short story on how they implemented an idea or used a strategy provided by the speaker.  Ask a panel to select the best one; randomly draw a winner, or involve a manager in selecting the best one.
    • Suggest that each attendee views the on demand session prior to the live meeting as a group. Each person should bring one great take-away from the session they previewed to share with the class. Then discuss the application of the information. How will you transfer what you learned to your workplace? Or, ask each person to create a fun learning activity to reinforce the information presented.
    • While viewing the on demand session together, create checklists from the learning session that attendees can use on their own or take back to the administrative professionals in their department.
