Facilitate and Accelerate Your Work Every Step
of the Way

Blackvan events are delivered by a facilitation team with a remarkably diverse set of skills. They perform important roles that accelerate the process every step of the way and produce engaging deliverables that continue to facilitate the work going forward long after the workshop ends.

Besides being an integral part of our workshops, Blackvan Event Support Services can help you introduce a new level of engagement and productivity among attendees in your own event, freeing you from task-level activities so that you can focus on the big picture.

Show Them What They're Thinking
Capture and depict conversations graphically in real-time for everyone to see. Create visual models that facilitate the explanation of complex ideas on the fly. Add “wow” to the event.

Document Everything
We record and transcribe presentations and ensuing discussions. Attendees focus on thinking about the ideas rather than on note-taking. Blackvan captures, archives, and turns around knowledge for attendee use right away.

Lightning-Fast Response
Our facilitation team keeps a finger on the pulse of the group. We keep the lead facilitator informed of anything they might need to attend to. Always visible, we can quickly respond to any request made by attendees so they don’t lose even a minute of their time. Need that work that other group did earlier in the day? We’ll bring it right out to you. Need quick research on a potential partner company? We’ll get someone right on it. Someone to help you create a visual model? Right here.

Create a Lasting Record
Revisit the event. Let people who weren’t there experience it. A journal of your event serves as a reference and communications piece. Give your attendees an event encapsulation as they walk out. Present them a polished executive summary within days.

Don't Sweat The Small Stuff
All of the million logistical and tactical issues are managed by the facilitation team so you can focus on the big picture. And believe us, there are a million.

Running Your Own Event?
Don’t run “Just Another Meeting”. Make your event look, sound, and feel different. Blackvan-supported events run smoothly and engage participants in multiple cognitive modalities.

 
Some Event Support Team Roles and Functions
 
Scribe Documenter Graphics

Graphically depict conversations in real-time. Help people visualize the dialogue taking place. Facilitate the uptake of ideas.

Transcribe conversations into text idea for idea, not word for word. Capture all the ideas in a presentation for use later.

An onsite professional can design visual elements for work products, PowerPoint decks, or even just the physical surroundings.

Production Process Facilitation Environment Manager

What do you do with all the work and paper generated in an event? Archiving and distribution become critical tasks, especially if you want to create a lasting document for the event.

Process facilitators coordinate the ideas, people, and materials necessary for smooth execution. They adapt quickly to changing circumstances so the chaos never reaches you – or the attendees.

The physical space you are in can facilitate your work or hinder your work. An Environment Manager optimizes your work environment and thus optimizes your ability to work.
