Get Butts Out of Seats & Put the Mind in Motion
Speaker: Midori Connolly
 Have you ever found yourself snoozing in a movie theater? Have you ever dozed off during a college lecture? In the same note, are your annual meeting attendance numbers dropping and satisfaction ratings falling below less-than-desirable?? Even though these are usually signs of boredom or increasing competition, there are any number of reasons why event attendees struggle with focusing on event content or justifying the time and expense of attending your events. With exciting and inspiring solutions ranging from simplifying adult learning to fun game structures to healthy brain food, this session will help you reformulate the stale conference formula so your meetings become dynamic, interactive and ALIVE once again!
