    Tips for successful seminars and training courses: What belongs in a presentation case?

    The well-equipped presentation case

    A well-equipped moderation kit ensures that the content is lively, the adult education is effective and the seminar preparation is stress-free. There are ready-equipped cases, but many trainers and coaches prefer individual equipment. If you are unsure about what equipment is available in your dream group home, please feel free to contact us! A tip from us: in addition to the classic equipment in your seminar suitcase, for which we have put together a checklist below, it is often helpful to have material for additional, proven seminar games. This is relaxing if you ever need to make spontaneous changes to your planned process.

    Your suitcase for successful workshop moderation: the checklist

    seminar house seminar accommodation
    • Moderation cards of different colors, shapes and sizes
    • Glue dots for marking
    • Cloud-shaped cards (moderation clouds) for thoughts and ideas
    • Like icons to express your opinion
    • Personalized cards
    • pins
    • Flipchart markers
    • Whiteboard pens
    • If necessary, laser pointer
    • Connection cable and adapter for smooth connection to the projector
    • If necessary, presenter or remote control to operate a laptop during presentations
    • Pointer stick

    • Different colored felt-tip pens and ballpoint pens

    Checklist for planning your seminar in the Black Forest holiday home - the relaxed setting

    Success factor 1: The right seminar house for the right participants

    The number of participants

    How many participants are optimal for the seminar goal, how many can there be minimum and maximum?

    We offer seminar accommodation for different group sizes from 4 – 30 participants (for very large groups, divided into two holiday homes). Our tip: book a holiday home right from the start with a bit of “buffer” for the group size.

    The expectations of the participants

    Answer the following questions for yourself:

    What do the seminar guests hope for?

    What previous knowledge do you bring with you?

    Do you have experience with the seminar design methods you are planning?

    How do participants recognize the success of the seminar?

    What are possible stumbling blocks to seminar success and how can they be minimized?

    seminar house seminar accommodation

    Our tip: the general conditions are often an important success factor. Comfort mattresses in our holiday homes, for example, ensure a restful sleep and can be supplemented with orthopedic cushions if necessary. Many of our guests with yoga seminars particularly enjoy our wellness holiday homes with sauna and whirlpool, which positively enhances the effects of yoga and body work. Training courses that require high levels of concentration particularly benefit from holiday homes with a quiet, secluded location. Tell us your seminar goal – we will be happy to advise you on which group accommodations are particularly suitable.

    Success factor 2: Consistent advertising for seminars

    When it comes to open seminars, the key point is how to fill them with the right participants. The following questions often help here:

    • Who are your dream participants?
    • Where do they look for the seminar content you offer? It is often worthwhile to invest in search engine optimization for your training topics in good time.
    • Are there multipliers? How can these be addressed?
    • How can recommendation marketing be used by participants in previous seminars?
    • Is your seminar topic suitable for a press article? Don’t just think about the major media, but also blogs and online editorial teams. Our tip: pay attention to lead times!
    • Which paid online advertising such as AdWords or Facebook is worthwhile and to what extent?

    Experience with seminars in our holiday homes has shown that attractive pictures of the houses and the beautiful nature in the Black Forest increase the effect of your advertising. You are welcome to use pictures of our houses and link to the corresponding subpages of your seminar accommodation.

    Success factor 3: The rough structure of your seminar with flexible variants

    Here are some helpful questions:

    • What should definitely be conveyed in your seminar? What can, what are nice but not absolutely necessary additional content?
    • Are the seminar expectations and learning goals achievable? If not: does the tender need to be changed? Or can accessibility be increased through support?
    • What learning units can the seminar be divided into?
    • Approximately how long do you need for each unit?
    • What is a logical sequence?
    • What methods do you use?
    • Which ones will fit into your chosen spaces? Which seminar games is your holiday home suitable for?
    • How do you organize the catering? Tip: for larger groups in restaurants, make sure to make reservations in good time.
    • How can you plan flexible options to accommodate different group sizes and participants' interests?
    • How much free time do the participants need? (Don't plan too tightly here - sufficient regeneration time increases absorption capacity)
    • Do you need special equipment that requires transportation?

    Our tip from the Dream Holiday Homes Black Forest team: Talk to us about available seminar technology that you can rent or that is included in the price of the group accommodation.

    Success factor 4: Detailed planning of the seminar process

    Helpful questions for planning the individual seminar phases

    • Which introduction is suitable for the topic of the seminar unit? Is there a way to make the central message tangible in a story, a game, or a movement unit?
    • What previous knowledge do the participants have? If these are different: how can this be addressed?
    • How can I use and expand this prior knowledge? How can others benefit from this?
    • How do I make the core content visible and tangible (e.g. flipcharts, Power Point Sheets, seminar games, etc.)?
    • Which method/tools suit the respective learning content? How can I adapt this to participant preferences?
    • How do I design the dramaturgy of the methods so that as many learning channels as possible are addressed alternately? (Keyword: different learning styles)
    • Are there enough exercise units and physical activity?
    • How can I offer opportunities to try out and transfer the seminar content into practice?
    seminar house seminar accommodation

    Our tip: Many seminar providers use the surroundings of the holiday homes and the mystical nature of the Black Forest for their seminars. Be it through outdoor sessions or hiking in your free time. Browse through the Black Forest insider tips - maybe you'll find some inspiration there.

    seminar house seminar accommodation

    Success factor 5: Timely preparation of seminar materials

    • It is worth preparing the presentation material (flipcharts, PowerPoint) with some time buffer. Don't forget: It's best to save files multiple times on different media
    • Prepare work assignments for group work etc. and pack the required materials (see checklist for the seminar suitcase)
    • Prepare materials for the seminar games
    • Prepare a sufficient number of practical examples for each content
    • Communicate what the participants should bring with them (preferably with a printable checklist)
    • Print out seminar materials/handouts
    • Workbooks/seminar folders

    Tip: A travel printer/lightweight printer is often helpful, especially for longer seminars

    Success factor 6: Openness and structure when conducting the seminar

    Helpful questions before the participants arrive

    • How are the rooms distributed in the holiday home? (Tip: A goodie on the pillow or fresh flowers create a “welcome” feeling)
    • Is the furniture arranged according to the plan?
    • Did you ventilate the room again shortly before you arrived?
    • Does the technology work with all cables and connections?
    • Do you have all your work documents ready?
    • Do you have all the names ready and can you assign faces to them?
    • Do you remember the daily routine/seminar structure? (remind me again shortly beforehand)
    • Is there a welcome drink available?

    Questions during the seminar

    • How can I use the expectations query to fine-tune my seminar planning?
    • How can I find out whether all seminar participants feel good?
    • If not: have I prepared solutions, for example for alternative seminar methods?
    • How can I ensure that everyone actively participates?
    • Do the participants experience it in such a way that the common thread of the seminar can still be experienced in terms of content and emotions? Do I experience this the same way as a seminar leader/trainer?
    • How does my planning relate to the needs of the participants? Do I possibly have to deviate from my original seminar planning?
    • How can I make intermediate results clearly visible?
    • Keyword individual conversation: is there a need? When can these be managed sensibly?
    • When are discussions fruitful and when does it make sense to limit them?
    • How do I design breaks so that they have the maximum recovery effect?

    Helpful questions at the end of a seminar day

    • In what form would I like to request feedback on the day?
    • What went well on the day of the seminar and can be improved?
    • What went less well? What are the reasons and how can I use this information for further seminar design?
    • At what points does it make sense to modify the original seminar planning?
    • Have all learning objectives been achieved? If not, how can these be conveyed on the remaining days?
