    Primary Conferences: Popular Topics 
     
     
     
     
    
    
    We aim to 
    provide support with developing a conference that meets your context and 
    needs, and at The SEAL Consultancy we do not work from a blue-print. 
     
    However, many clients have asked us for advice on selecting appropriate 
    topics for both keynote presentations and workshops, and the following list 
    offers some of the more popular topics for Primary audiences, although it is 
    not exhaustive.
