from Andrew Taylor's arts management blog:

Quote:
Our professional conference models, methods, and metaphors are broken. They are successful to the extent that they attract a dense collection of practitioners into a confined space (which is why I have my questions and new contacts). But almost everything we do once we've collected that group seems misaligned with the opportunity of doing so.

Read the whole entry, and you'll have a better conference experience, whether its Northlands, NSN, Sharing the Fire, or any other one you attend.

And if you're a producer, you need to be reading Taylor's blog regularly.
