And yet your method was exactly a mirror of the content!<br /><br />Perhaps when we go to conferences, we are in a somewhat lazy, tired frame. We want to be served knowledge, even though we have to line for our food. (Maybe if the food were served to us, we'd be more sanguine about lining up for knowledge?)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this experience. It's so exactly on-point.Edward R.

I fear it somewhat comes with the territory.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.Edward R.

They care about showing up, delivering a training, and moving on. In fact, they mostly just care about moving on, about discovering something new for themselves. Perfectly human, but caring for others (like magic) is hard work both in short and long duration. It's also difficult to demonstrate, quantify, and reproduce (quickly, at least).
