Meet Adrian Segar
Adrian Segar has organized and facilitated conferences for thirty years. Dissatisfied with traditional conferences, and realizing that he loved to connect with people, and to create spaces for them to connect with each other, he created the first peer conference in 1992, and has been refining peer conference process ever since. His book Conferences That Work: Creating Events That People Love was published in November 2009, and he currently consults on, designs, and facilitates participant-driven and participation-rich events.
Adrian has a Ph.D. in experimental elementary particle physics, was an independent information technology consultant for 23 years, taught college computer science for 10 years, and co-owned and managed a solar manufacturing company before that. He lives in Marlboro, Vermont, is active in the non-profit world, and loves to sing and dance.
