Despite what some have been saying, I do not hate in-person meetings. When they're safe, I design, facilitate, and attend them.

A screenshot of a tweet sent by Adrian Segar: "No pre- or during- #COVID testing for your meetings. No post-meeting infection follow-up. Attendees signing waivers that bind them forever not to sue if they contract #coronavirus. @OCCC — how can you honestly claim you are #MeetingSafely? How could you possibly know?

Your social wall might look great on your laptop. Can someone at the back of the room read it before the post changes?

Start with text size, contrast, and pacing.

In 1975, I was trapped in an elevator with a Nobel Prize winner. I'll never forget what I learned from the experience.

I'm seeing evidence that for-profits are muscling in on association events. Is my experience an anomaly—or the start of a long-term trend?

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Traditional conferences are obsolete because a standardized approach for education & training to support creative work is obsolete.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

A logo on one hallway screen and exclusive branding on every screen are different offers. Your sponsorship price should reflect that.

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