Contributions to a Fresh conference

Fresh = new, modern, creative, out-of-the-box. There are some very committed people making a lot of work in order to arrange a conference on Meeting architecture, Meeting design, Meeting facilitation, Meeting techniques. The Meeting industry is for sure an industry creating turnovers of many billion USD’s worldwide. The Swedish magazine Meetings International is mirroring this industry in a very interesting and professional way.
The conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, had attracted around 100 attendants from several countries. I was invited to make quite a brief speech about meetings and psychology: has psychology anything to do with meetings?
Of course it has. Everything concerning togetherness involves special social psychological dynamic movements. Everything occuring on the surface does not reveal the whole story. I gave some inputs on this theme, trying to get the audience to reflect of what kind of culture they constructed by behaving as they did. I mentioned also my book, Meetings & Psychology, that at the moment is on the go and will become launched in some weeks from now.
