People don’t trust institutions today say sociologist Dr. Josh Packard. We don’t think institutions have our best interests in mind he says. We believe they serve the interests of the professionals who created and run them, and they serve the interests of perpetuating their own existence. Your association, annual conference, and governance are all institutions.

Over half of those have been conferences (or smaller content led events like seminars and workshops) but I don’t often talk about my role as a speaker.
