CONFERENCES, MAJOR EVENTS AND
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

I have been granted the privilege of designing and moderating major conference events, interactive and lively Town Hall and Bear Pit sessions, and topical speaking engagements for many years and on a wide range of subjects and themes. I approach each of these as an opportunity to effect real change. To me, it is never enough to bring 200 people into a great hall and have them passively absorb an endless series of slides and voices that they could just as easily read in the comfort of their own office. The best events invoke a sort of alchemy … where everyone’s knowledge and experience is allowed to blend with new ideas, with the result being new learning and new courses of action for all.
