On this Association Chat, host KiKi L'Italien interviews special guest Adrian Segar about what he has called the "Meeting Industry's Dirty Little Secret."
In Adrian's words, "We spend vast sums of money and consign umpteen person-hours to a meeting — and we have no idea whether it made any significant long-term difference to the people who attended it!"
Adrian is an acknowledged innovator and speaker on participant-led event design, and facilitates two popular opening and closing plenaries. His latest book, The Power of Participation: Creating Conferences That Deliver Learning, Connection, Engagement, and Action—described by Paul Salinger, VP of Marketing, Oracle, as a book that “should be OPEN on every meeting planner’s and event marketer’s desk, and used every day”—is a compendium of participation techniques that meeting planners and presenters can use to significantly improve any meeting session.
