Eric and Mike take a closer look at the conference experience through a design lens, breaking down the details that separate an event people rave about from one they quietly endure. From the moment attendees walk through the door to the conversations they have in between sessions, there's more intention (or lack of it) behind that experience than most people realize. They get into what actually makes people feel welcome, the small decisions that have an outsized impact on networking, and some surprisingly simple ways to create a memorable atmosphere without blowing the budget. If you're planning an event of any size, or just trying to understand why some conferences stick with you and others don't, this one is worth your time.
