RIP, Conference Curator! The fantasy of the conference curator is dead. Instead, let conference attendees choose conference content.

How can we build connection and engagement with the people with whom we work? By giving up control over the choices they're offered.

What makes attending conferences worthwhile? Some of the most useful conferences are those designed to solve participants' problems.

How you program conferences depends (or ought to) on your answer to the question: Do conference attendees know what they want?

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

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

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
