Who is the ultimate experience creator—the conference center or the planner? In this episode of GatherGeeks, join David Adler, C.E.O. of BizBash, for “Cocktails with David” as he sits down with three of the most innovative players in the conference center business. Live from the International Association of Conference Centres (I.A.C.C.), David is joined by Chris Kelly, president and co-founder of Convene; Tessa Horovitz, director of Chateauform; and Mark Cooper, C.E.O. of I.A.C.C., to talk about cultivating group culture, the rule of “ask and engage, not show and tell,” how R.O.I. is an experiential feeling, why we can’t blame millennials for not paying attention to boring meetings, and more.
