There are literally dozens of general seminar topics about which a business seminar could be based on, but most business seminars generally fall into one of several broad categories. Some may fall into multiple categories; for example, is using a new piece of software a productivity seminar (since it is designed to improve efficiency) or a technology seminar? The answer is both.The 'technology'
. seminar is about new technologies that are going to be used in the office from this point forward, or that could be introduced, or even new technologies to watch out for. Office emails, commerce websites, and computer education seminars all fall under the umbrella of technology. Another good subject in technology seminars are warnings about computer viruses or phishing attempts.The 'productivity' seminars are based in speaking about ways to improve the efficiency of the workplace: new procedures, following old procedures that are currently being ignored or even letting the veterans of the workplace tell their tips and tricks for getting the work done faster or better.For lack of a better term, the 'educational' seminars lecture the audience on subjects that affect the workplace but are not fully part of the job itself. Topics such as racial sensitivity training, sexism and how to avoid it and cutting back on illnesses or injuries are key possibilities of the educational seminar.Some basic tips: Seminars should encourage audience participation, but forcing the audience to participate is WORSE than simply speaking because it builds resentment towards the presenter. Limit handouts to just one page, and try to convey only the most basic of information, preferably with an eye-catching infographic. Avoid multiple acronyms; if they are necessary, choose one acronym and stick to it. Above all else, do not try to be funny; if one is not a professional comedian then any attempts at humor may fall flat, or worse rebound, making the lecturer look ridiculous when he needs to convey an aura of authority.
