What is the difference between a Conference and a Retreat?
Conferences usually have a more formal or business casual atmosphere. At conferences, participants are more so on the receiving end of information or knowledge from speakers without formal opportunities to further explore these topics with each other. There is conventionally more time given during conferences to foster interaction between participants and speakers rather than between participants.
In a retreat, it is the rich conversations between participants that fosters greater exposure to new ideas and perspectives. The space of a retreat is designed for participants to connect deeper with each other as well as the speakers. A retreat still maintains professional candor and the quality of content is that of conference.
