Do conference attendees know what they want? Photograph of a puzzled woman holding a camera lens to her ear.

"Interaction is at the heart of cognition," say 28 scientists. I think they're right—and it's at the heart of events too!

Your social wall already has your attendees' attention. Give sponsors a clear way to be part of it: scheduled visibility, branded prompts, and a post-event report.

Conferences That Work continually evolve. That's why I published and then updated a free supplement to my first book on meeting design.

Six reasons that make a strong business case for participant-driven and participation-rich meetings to replace traditional conference formats

#meetings #EventDesign #conferences #connection #SocialLearning #eventprofs

Slide titled "Six reasons to change our conferences" 1 — Sessions provide no connections around content 2 — Lectures are a terrible way to learn 3 — The rise of online 4 — Professionals learn predominantly socially, not in the classroom 5 — Today, everyone has expertise and experience to share 6 — Most pre-scheduled sessions don't address actual attendee wants and needs

“Show us your setup” works from a conference table or a kitchen table. Give both groups prompts they can answer, then put their responses on one shared wall.

Your plan. On screen. On cue.
The welcome as the doors open, the timer for the talk, the photos in the break. Line them up on your phone, press play, and it runs in order. Open vuthis.com on a screen and connect. No media players, no cables.
