a letter to myself

There are some things that the meeting industry doesn’t like to talk about in public. For example:

• Revenue models. (Who actually paid for all that sybaritic F&B? You’ll never know.)
• Clients from hell. (They might figure out it’s them I was talking about and I need the business.)
• Women and people of color’s frequent under-representation on stage. (‘Nuff said.)

But the meeting industry’s biggest dirty secret is so embarrassing, we don’t even talk about it in private.
