A live seminar titled "Conference Case Study" would likely be structured around in-depth, real-world examples of successful (or challenging) conferences, providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of the planning, execution, and lessons learned from various case studies. The goal would be to offer practical insights on how to organize, manage, and evaluate conferences effectively.
