A summit meeting is a high-level event that brings together experts and influential people who have a strong interest in a specific topic area. They discuss their viewpoints, present solutions and generally work towards a common goal at the event. These events typically have a very focused agenda and participation is by invitation only.
According to mental health professional Tiiu Lutter, writing for Effortless Insurance, a summit is an event that’s intended to teach and inspire the attendees. Attendees can learn a lot and also build their network. They can meet and talk with like-minded people who share the same passion and interests, which may lead to new opportunities for them.
Despite the fact that summits between the main contending powers during the Cold War had little tangible outcomes, politicians have come to value them because they demonstrate that a government is busy doing something about an issue and building trust with other governments. The first Summit of the Americas was held in Miami in 1994 and established a set of commitments for future cooperation.
The Miami Summit of the Americas led to a number of institutional bodies including the Summit Implementation Review Group (SIRG). The SIRG is responsible for carrying out the mandates that were agreed to in the Santiago Plan of Action and it is composed of national representatives appointed by each country participating in the Summit process.
Hosting a virtual summit can be an effective way to connect with your audience and keep them engaged throughout the session. However, to get the most out of your event, you need to promote it properly to attract attendees and ensure that they stay on track with their learning. To make the most of your content, you should use interactive features such as live polls, Q&A sessions or workshops.
