Audience Participation
Many people have written about ways of improving conf. Moving away from the keynote expert experience to participation and dialogue of the crowd.
I just discovered this beautiful video on Chris Corrigan’s Parking Lot! When we do have a keynote speaker,we need (metaphorically) to demand audience participation and experience in the subject matter. Just watch this video featuring Bobby McFerrin.
