The tragedy of wasting valuable meeting time having experts presenting to “learners”

Conferences that Work

Ask attendees why they go to meetings and their top two responses are to learn and connect. Remember kids that ask a question, and when you answer it they say “why?” “Why can’t we go outside?” “Because it’s raining.” “Why?” “Well, water’s coming out of the sky.” “Why?

I always head straight for the Scotland stand to see who is exhibiting and to have a Scottish fizzy juice and a Scottish chocolate bar.
