Bizly in action. In 2014, venture capitalist Ron Shah was deep into a month of internal meetings when the pipes burst in. his building. The office’s conference space was flooded and unusable.

Most people don’t know this but bands, even with big repertoires, struggle to adjust their set and perform random requests.

Illustration by Malina Omut. In her 2011 book Alone Together , MIT professor Sherry Turkle argues that the technological innovations that have created greater interconnectivity — email, texting, social media — have also made us feel more alienated from each other. We connect more via digital social networks than in person.

Inclusivity at events takes many forms. Senior Editor and Digital Director Barbara Palmer focused this month on one: how a growing number of medical associations are adding patients to their conferences. Her approach, she shared, was deeply personal in nature. Here, in her own words, she explains why: As I was working on this month’s story about patient-included conferences, I kept thinking of my friend Ellen, one of the smartest, funniest, and most generous people I know.

The #MeToo hashtag, which has given hundreds of thousands of people a way to break their silence about experiencing sexual harassment, seemed to have come out of nowhere in the last months of 2017. But, in fact, activist Tarana Burke created the Me Too campaign a decade earlier. Which underscores a truth about almost any discussion about promoting equity and inclusion — none of this is new.

Many of us have worked with a toxic individual before. You know the type — controlling, quick to gossip, taking credit for other people’s work, and talking over others. But admit it: There have also been bad days when you were the person who didn’t bring their best self to work.

Event organizers used to map out two main environments for their attendees: dedicated session rooms and prefunction spaces. Convention center hallways were just thoroughfares, places participants used to get from one session to the next. Now, as attendees seek out other on-site spaces that aren’t built for large-group interaction — either for face-to-face conversations with colleagues, to make or take phone calls, or to catch up on work — those corridors are becoming important real estate, a kin
