Conference reports

 From time to time, I get asked to produce succinct reports about seminars conferences - not as a traditional 'record of proceedings' but as a way of drawing out the most important issues that were raised on the day (or days) and looking forward to what might happen next.  That way, delegates have more than scribbled notes to refer back to and those who couldn't attend but would have liked to can get more than a flavour of what the conference was about.  I am currently preparing to promote this as a bespoke service to the arts, education and other sectors - offering conference organisers a simple all-in package (covering editorial, design and print) that will make it easy for them to build on and exploit the considerable investment they have made in staging such events.

One such report - to mark the annual meeting of the Conference of Drama Schools (CDS) in 2008 - is downloadable here.  This organisation had planned a wide-ranging debate about the future of the sector and decided it wanted more than its usual summary report - something that could be sent out to other agencies in the field of theatre and education as well as to its members.  The six-page report (printed three A4 pages a side and then folded) was a neat solution - serving CDS members and showing others that this organisation was the kind that thinks ahead.  For more information about the work of CDS, you can visit www.drama.ac.uk.
