2. The Future of Meetings: Video Segment. I had the honor of hosting Bruce McMillan, CEO of Meeting Professionals International, for an intense day here at The MASIE Center. We have started a major collaboration between our two organizations, looking at the future of meetings. How will technology and internet technologies evolve the role and format of future face-to-face meetings? You can view an interview/dialogue that we did on the future of meetings at:

We will continue the conversation on the Future of Meetings in an interactive ThinkTank session at MPI’s Professional Education Conference in Houston, February 2 - 5. To learn more about this event go to:

3. Learning at the Moment of Need! One of the key challenges of organizational learning departments in the coming year is to expand the resources we offer for Performance Support to our workforce. There are still a few seats available in our upcoming Performance Support LAB & Seminar, to be held in Saratoga Springs starting on January 30th. Taught by Conrad Gottfredson and Bob Mosher, this is an intimate look at how to build “Learning at the Moment of Need” for your workforce, from high tech to low tech solutions.
