💰 And with cost-conscious CFOs favoring alternatives like video conferencing and online conversations…
🔍 The definition of an exceptional conference has evolved, especially post-COVID.
🔎 In other words, “I traveled all this way for this?” is becoming more prevalent than ever before.
👉 If you believe that a remarkable conference entails presenters merely reading scripted bullet points to a passive audience, well, you’re mistaken.
Likewise, if you allocate little time for attendees (or should that be participants?) to engage with one another, or worse, fail to create an environment that encourages meaningful interactions among them, then you’re missing the mark entirely.
🗣️ When someone takes the time to invest in you speaking from a stage, they expect you to be prepared, focused, enthusiastic, and willing to engage in authentic conversations about the way forward.
📚 A speaker owes an audience more than what they could simply gather from reading a transcript. They owe them an experience that goes beyond the written word.
💥 And a conference organiser owes the participants surprise, juxtaposition, drama, engagement, insights, and quite possibly, excitement.
🌟 The new standard appears to be this: If you’re going to invest your time and money to meet face to face, truly be present and engaged.
👥 Interact or stay home! 💫
