“Come join the conversation,” went the invite.
A conversation rarely happens with 38 people in a room.
It definitely doesn’t happen online with a speaker and an agenda.
I wonder if there is a better description.
I came to join a conversation; I left because it was a talking-to, maybe that’s it.
Come and join my talking-to, today at 9; are you in?
Didn’t think so.
Organise to the experience, and then put a label on it.
