| In 2000, a group of
consultants met in Washington, D.C. to discuss their challenges,
share ideas, and explore collaboration. And out of that
discussion, the
AYE
Conference was born.
We wanted to create a different conference
experience--one where the participants actually participated, and
(gasp!) conferred with each other and the presenters.
We wanted a different presentation format:
experiential and participative rather than passive. We wanted
to engage people rather than lecture to them.
Jerry Weinberg, Johanna Rothman, Don Gray, Steve
Smith and I are the
hosts for the conference. Each year we invite a few
colleagues to join us as guest presenters.
Together, we create a program where we (participants and
presenters) explore ways to be more effective on the individual,
team, and organizational level.
We don't send the participants home with a big proceedings
binder; we send them home with personal insights and practices to
enable them to be more effective problem-solvers.
