Each of us has at least one experience when technology didn’t do what it was supposed to or we had a question about the technology we were using. That in itself can be annoying and stressful. But what happens when you find yourself in that situation and you’re in a room with 30 people all looking at you because you’re the presenter?
I recently sat on a panel at the CESSE Leadership Conference in Baltimore where I spoke to a packed room on this topic. When my fellow panelists and I asked the room whether any part of their meeting(s) was virtual, it was about a 50/50 split – with half the room saying yes, and the other half responding that they have not “virtualized” any part of their meeting.
Each attendee is unique…that’s why we have to design meeting experiences for everyone.
Alexa. Siri. Cortana. Bixby. More and more Americans are calling on these savvy assistants to help with everything from playing a song to reciting the weather forecast to keeping them informed of the latest news. According to Gartner, by 2020, the average person will have more conversations with bots than their spouses.
Networking and Internet access have become critical aspects of a successful meeting.
