Too many conferences are top-down, over-caffeinated, information dumps. Adrian Segar has figured out a different model: a participatory, community-driven event that yields benefits that last far beyond the conference itself. If you want to make a lasting difference with your group today, you owe it to yourself to read this book.Nick Morgan, Public Words
Thanks for your time today—I was painfully aware I went over our agreed time, but will try to make it up to you on the follow up. I feel very energized, and am reworking elements of our program based on our conversation. You, sir, are magnificent.Conference design consulting client
"[edACCESS] is the best technical and peer-driven conference for IT professionals that I have ever attended." • "It's changed my life. I have met people here who are my close friends. I've learned so much. I've been able to give my own knowledge, give of myself, help others. It is truly a different kind of experience." • "I've definitely found a lot of people I can go to talk about snmaller IT issues that I have. Just little nit-pickey things that I do in my environment and come up with all kinds of solutions and also hear about what other schools that are similar are doing as well." • "It's refreshing to just be able to say 'Hey! I'm dealing with that! I've been there! Let me tell you what I got through it with! It's amazing and the people both in and outside the peer sessions are really what make it possible. And I love it. I love edACCESS!"Spoken testimonials from edACCESS 2022 1½ minute video at vimeo.com/662359751 [
Peer-led is a great method for practical learning. No agenda, no "axe to grind", nothing to sell. This allows the conversation to steer toward useful information sharing. And, there were excellent folks leading these sessions.Conference evaluation
