When they go well, leadership retreats, offsites and conferences can be deeply meaningful human experiences with enormous business impact.  When they go badly, they can be soul-crushingly horrible.

Making them happen can be a huge amount of work and stress.

Are you involved in running events like these? Planning one for the first time? Nursing your battle-scars from the last one?

In this session you’ll get to:

• Meet other folks who have been involved in this and share experiences

• Learn some of the top things to do to make these go well, and some of the the top mistakes to avoid

• Learn how to reduce your effort, and increase impact

I’m Misha Glouberman, and I’ll be running this session. I’m the guy who ran the opening session for Edge Esmeralda this year. A big part of my job is helping companies make their events better.
