This is a typical example of a destination lecture, It would last around 35 minutes and allow time at the end for a question and answer session. The lecture would be illustrated with an animated PowerPoint based slide and video clip show. The presenter will from time to time break away from the basic script to add updates and the latest tourist and/or company information.

In some cases, Disney Cruise Line for example, the Day at Sea Lecture would also be given added value with a live commetary from the Bridge as the ship approaches the Port of Call. For on-board convention delegates this type of insider information helps create a lasting memory of the event and for wives and girlfriends, adds a little sparkle to the overall experience.

This can easily be adapted for shore based venues, in every case the delegate actually gets a little more in terms of value and information.

After the presentations, it is usual for the lecturer to make him/herself available for individual questions, often adjouring the meeting to a lounge or bar, to free up the theatre. Often those questions are of a type that would not be put directly to a company colleague but the independent and impartial guest speaker or presenter, is often an invaluable conduit into management thinking and also neatly providing a snapshop of thinking "from the shopfloor".
