TREND #1

Sleep (or lack thereof)

“People tell us in surveys they’re exhausted, they can’t remember what they saw, they didn’t have enough time to breathe.”

TREND #2

Noise (i.e., too much of it)

Page 5: PCMA CONVENE LIVE: 5 Trends in 20 Minutes

“I’m always amazed at how bad sound is at auditory meetings. It ends up being random whether the terms are good or not.”

TREND #3

Drama (the good kind)

Page 7: PCMA CONVENE LIVE: 5 Trends in 20 Minutes

“A meeting should have a story, and be presented with a beginning, middle, and end — with complications and conflict that raise the stakes.”

TREND #4

3D printing (yes, that 3D printing)

Page 9: PCMA CONVENE LIVE: 5 Trends in 20 Minutes

“The technology allows the creation of items in a whole host of materials. The only limit is the imagination of the creator.”

TREND #5

Retention (I said, retention)

“What we’ve learned in the sessions doesn’t translate back to our real on-the-job work. Some things we remember, but a lot’s lost.”
