Content versus conversation. Cory Doctorow said, "Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about." I agree!

What should be the mix of presentation versus interaction at meetings? Our culture now favors interaction—but our meetings haven't caught up.

Most conference programs try to include everything. But actually, attendees love programs that contain just what they want and no more.

In 2009, the biologist E.O. Wilson described what he saw as humanity's problem. I think it’s also a fundamental meeting problem.

The words we use for meetings matter. By changing the words, we can change how we think about meetings. Here are three examples.

An attendee’s post can reach a whole lobby when it lands on your social wall. At medical meetings, review it before giving it that audience.

A sponsor will ask, "How do I know it worked?" Build the answer into your social wall package before you pitch it. Define the deliverables and the numbers you'll report.

We often let the tech tail wag the event dog. Instead, incorporate processes & formats that improve the quality and value of learning.

Instead of paying for an app, use participant-driven and participation-rich design techniques to make your entire conference a braindate!

I’m going to IMEX America 2026! A lighthearted song and reflections on why I keep returning: old friends, new friends, and fun.

The song includes his own version of Irving Berlin’s “Heat Wave,” complete with climate change, expensive food, conference engagement, networking, and, most importantly, the people who make going to IMEX worthwhile.

Healthcare professionals want participant-driven events. Yet 36% have never been asked to provide input into any agenda or program.

Many conference sessions aren't accurately described by their program blurb. Here are six ways you can avoid wasting attendee time.

Having registrants not show up is a big problem for free events. An incentive now used by many professional services could help.

If you're pricing your association's social wall, start with attendance, event days, screen placement, and exclusivity. Last year's rate isn't your only reference.

How can we minimize vendor pitches during conference sessions? You'll find that moving to a peer conference format does the trick!
