TYPES OF SEMINAR

Business seminars appeal to entrepreneurs or small business owners.....

They share success stories and strategies, as well as information about marketing, licensing and franchising, or other concerns.
An example of one of these seminars might be a gathering focused on marketing through social media.
Attendees would learn best practices for promoting their businesses through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms.

Personal Development

Designed for the training and enrichment of employees, personal development seminars address everything from hard skills, such as technology, to soft skills, such as the psychology of leadership, and how those skills can be applied to the profession in question. 

These seminars can take the form of retreats or intensive discussions or can be used to train management or new employees in the company’s core values or procedures.

 For example, a company that has developed a new strategy or approach for its sales staff may run a seminar—or multiple seminars—to train salespeople on the changes and how best to implement them.

Business

Academia

Sometimes an event planner is called on to execute a seminar in an academic setting. Less formal than a class lecture, a seminar allows for small groups to meet and discuss academic topics or required reading, as well as set goals for research and continuing investigation. 

A school district that is revamping its science curriculum, for example, might hold a seminar for its science teachers to address the new standards and practices.
