Imagine a ballroom full of tables, people seated in crescent rounds facing a projector and screen. They are in business attire, taking notes on tiny hotel notepads with tiny hotel pens. They sit listening to speaker after speaker and the occasional video. How do you feel when conjuring that image? Now, I love myself some work conferences. I think they can be great ways to inspire and share about new visions and collaborate with others. I also know that the environment described above can begin to numb me out after awhile. Now imagine the same room with everyone on their feet, small groups working together, balancing on different feet, jumping up and down, laughing and pondering whether it would be okay to completely drape themselves over the table and chairs or use the paper in their folders to make “keys on a piano”. How does that image make you feel? A bit different, no?
