Virtual meetings lower costs. Yet I believe that the unique benefits of face-to-face meetings are still valuable.

Every minute you're speaking solo at a conference session sucks up hours of people's lives. Is your content worth their time?

How can we create the best learning environment for meeting attendees? It turns out that trust and safety are prerequisites for optimum learning.

Somewhere tonight: someone's at a door scanning tickets on their phone instead of squinting at a printed list, and someone just got approved off a waitlist thirty seconds before doors.
Small stuff. It's most of the job.

Taking time to publicly recognize the people who made your event possible is an easy thing to do and the right thing to do.

There's a tension between improv and planning at events. Here's a good example: the rapid development of a closing conference evaluation.

Event's full? That's a waitlist now, not a dead end.
People join, you approve spots as they free up, nobody has to DM you asking if "maybe one more" is possible.

Who owns an event? I suggest that not only sponsors but also participants are event owners, since adding participants broadens the community.

You can’t make people change. But you can create an environment where they choose to. Peer conferences provide such environments.

How can we best prepare workers for our rapidly changing economy? By teaching people how to make new connections on a regular basis.

The word "unconference" is increasingly used to describe traditional conferences. These aren't the unconferences you're looking for.

How can we encourage risky learning at conferences? By making them small, safe events where everyone is both a teacher and a student.

Breaks between meeting sessions should be longer than zero minutes. How long should they be? The answer depends on several factors…
