Testimonial

This book completely transformed the way I organize, host, and participate in events. It's darn near impossible to go back to the traditional, uninspired, and ultimately counter-productive event format after finding Adrian Segar's far superior Conferences That Work and The Power of Participation models.

I love how Segar puts all the activities into the context of a conference arc – openers, middle, and closers – and breaks down when you'll benefit most from a certain exercise, participant minimums or maximums before they become ineffective, and ready-to-use scripts that explain the exercises to a participant. From guidance on timekeeping, providing explicit ground rules (a.k.a. your "covenant") for participants, how to facilitate and ask great questions, and more, this book really covers an amazing amount of ground.

I put the framework and some of the activities to the test in a recent two-day SimpleREV event that I co-organized and co-hosted. My participants loved – *loved* – the opening Roundtable and the closing Personal Introspective. Our real-time feedback and event survey confirmed what we thought we were gambling on (but was really a sure thing): people felt more connected, better supported, and had outright more fun with The Power of Participation-sourced action.

Whether you're running a small corporate meeting or a large international conference, you'll enjoy the planning and hosting better – and your attendees will be happily pushed outside their comfort zone – with the mindset and tools from this book.

It seems unfathomable to me that anyone who reads this book and truly cares about a participant's experience would ever organize a traditional meeting or event again. I know I'll never look at events the same way ... and I'll certainly never run them the same way either.
