Conferences that Work

DECEMBER 20, 2021

How to work with others to change our lives. I belong to a couple of small groups that have been meeting regularly for decades. The men’s group meets biweekly, while the consultants’ group meets monthly. I have been exploring and writing about facilitating change since the earliest days of this blog. So in 2021, I developed and facilitated for each group a process for working together to explore what we want to change, and then change our lives.

Brandt and Will have covered this topic in the past: they’ve talked extensively about setting up great backdrops and getting your audio in order.

Your Attendees Are Special—Treat Them That Way. As we reimagine events (for example, no longer confined to physical conference centers), audiences (no longer just the folks with resources, and temperament, to attend in-person events), and sponsorships (way more than just branded keychains and folks showing up to hold down a booth at a tradeshow), we must also envision a new, better path for marketing events.

The wedding bar. It’s pretty much the second thing that people look most forward to when attending a wedding (after seeing the bride and groom tie the knot, of course). It makes sense. Whether you’re single or coupled up, partaking in a cocktail can take the edge off and makes for a good ice breaker. However, when it comes to planning a wedding, there are a few things to consider when it comes to having alcohol at your wedding.
