Experiential Events
It's Time to Transform Your Thinking
By Christopher Greenslade
Online Exclusive

September 2006
Where do you think meetings technology is headed?
MICHAEL BOULT, PRES/CEO: It's an evolution. The usability issue, for sure, is top of mind, especially with occasional users. There's more to be done from a global perspective. From the more consumer-oriented technologies, we can learn a lot of lessons from how people interact. It's a complicated issue and business proposition that we're trying to solve. Simplicity and usability are things we know we need to invest in.

Going All The Way
A raging debate among meeting planners, about 12 years old now, pits a softer, gentler, ROO against the sturdy, stalwart ROI.
