    Secondary 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 Secondary 
    audiences, although it is not exhaustive.
