Have you been in a meeting or gathering that felt ineffective, or disengaged? Whether you’re planning meetings or events for work, or just like planning gatherings with friends, join us to learn from and discuss the book The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters by Priya Parker.
In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive—which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play.
