“A meeting to organize the work. Another to discuss the first one. And another to decide when the next one will be.”

Participant-driven conferences can improve event ROI. And give potential attendees an answer to the question "Why should I go to this event?"

Don’t feel that you need to provide entertainment at meetings regardless of circumstances. Undistracted free time is valuable too!

The old meeting industry normal is long over, and many event professionals are still hoping and waiting for a new normal…

It's not hard to give the gift of listening. Doing so can reap rich dividends for the success of your meetings.

If you want to make conference socials a maximally effective opportunity for interaction and engagement, keep them music-free

The German polymath, geographer, naturalist, and explorer Alexander von Humboldt was a meeting designer way ahead of his time!

www.conferencesthatwork.com/index.php/ev...

#Humboldt #meetings #MeetingDesign #science #history #events #eventprofs

Alexander von Humboldt: Humboldt was revolutionizing the sciences. In September 1828 he invited hundreds of scientists from across Germany and Europe to attend a conference in Berlin.* Unlike previous such events at which scientists had endlessly presented papers about their own work, Humboldt put together a very different programme. Rather than being talked at, he wanted the scientists to talk with each other. There were convivial meals and social outings such as concerts and excursions to the royal menagerie on the Pfaueninsel in Potsdam. Meetings were held among botanical, zoological and fossil collections as well as at the university and the botanical garden. Humboldt encouraged scientists to gather in small groups and across disciplines. He connected the visiting scientists on a more personal level, ensuring that they forged friendships that would foster close networks. He envisioned an interdisciplinary brotherhood of scientists who would exchange and share knowledge. ‘Without a diversity of opinion, the discovery of truth is impossible; he reminded them in his opening speech. *Humboldt organized this conference for the German Association of Naturalists and Physicians. photograph by Martin Sirk.

Here's how the Fisch Flip sparked an idea for conference design

"How old are you?" can be an awkward question. Here are safe ways for a group of meeting participants to share their "age".

Crowdsourcing events is hot! Here's my take on three articles about meeting and session crowdsourcing.

A false assumption: Supporting meaningful connections with other attendees is not the conference organizers’ job.

When will we wake up about the need to change our conference designs?
