Why AKANABA
Conferences bring people together
What starts there shouldn't end there.
Conferences create the conditions for people to meet, exchange ideas and discover each other's work. AKANABA gives that community a place to keep growing beyond the event.
The conference growth problem
“80% of participants come from the previous conference.
Then you spend 90% of your time trying to attract another 5% via email and social media.
The remaining 15% come organically.”
Andrei Rotaru
Chair, CEEC-PCMS3
Your next conference
shouldn't start from scratch.
Keep the community together between editions, so the next one starts with a community already there.
