Hi all, The exchanges today are stimulating my curiosity. Now I have questions about the value of the proceeding. Do you find that your clients really look at the book of proceeding afterwards? In the spirit of simplifying I am wondering why are the proceedings done, as a compilation. It sounds like a lot work. I am wondering if there is an easier way or if the book of proceeding is even needed? Karen

Karen wrote: <Harrison, I'm curious to hear more about why you would say 120 is probably easier than 40. It leads me to wonder also is there a point (number) where it shifts away from easier?> I look forward to hearing your thoughts, Harrison - in my experience working with groups of from 1 (yep) to 1500, the only challenge (true for all sizes of groups) is about logistics. With the right team helping put on the event, there's not a shift to 'harder', just more things to think about and secure during the pre-work/prep/organizing time. And if there's documentation during the event, availability of technology or wallspace or whatever to co-create and distribute (during or soon after the event) the Book of Proceedings. Site size, site access, ability to hear everyone, enough paper, posting area, time, the whole thing. Given great logistical planning and prep work, the ability of people to post topics (I've not experience any sized group taking more than 1.25 hours for opening and agenda co-creation), the ease of discussion, the flow, the intimacy of discussion - all those things, delightfully, remain the same.
