The Quest for Better Meeting Culture
Many people try to improve their meeting culture, but few fully succeed because the path to better meetings is littered with obstacles. We want to help you beat the odds.
On September 16, meeting culture experts Dr. Rebecca Hinds, Dr. Carrie Goucher, and Elise Keith will host a live conversation about how to navigate this journey.
Fill out this survey so we know what you've tried, what worked, and where you got stuck. We'll take the most common and juicy questions and dig into them together at the 16th September event.
You'll be taken to the event registration page after completing the survey.
