Live events can change lives, but too often they waste attendees' time. Design meetings around what can happen because people are together.

Skeptical that a peer conference can build an optimum program for your conference? Attend or organize one yourself and see!

Traditional conferences are obsolete because a standardized approach for education & training to support creative work is obsolete.

Two principles for designing conference ground rules. They should 1) increase participants' freedom, and 2) be measurable.

Short-term traditional meeting evaluations are unreliable. They tell you nothing about the long-term effects of a session. We can do better.

What kind of event tourist are you? Do you go for the content and/or connections? What kind of event tourists do you cater to at your events?

We'll all get a lot more out of our events when we practice wirearchy, not hierarchy. I encourage you to join me.

I don't think the popular meeting format Open Space works very well for many participants. Here is a short critique of Open Space.

Conferences are containers for ideas. Especially when they're places where participants share and co-create ideas, rather than just listen.

The "conference curator" is a myth. Instead, allow participants to do amazing and generous work by using appropriate participation tools.

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