Ep 110 Why your conference needs to change and how to keep up with trends, with Mark Herschberg Part 1

From the dark web to lecture halls at MIT, we look at some over-arching global trends that are challenging the way we work and conference. So how has the world changed and how do conference planners need to adapt their programs and run sheets? Also how can we leverage content beyond conference days and can technology can be seen as a friend rather than foe?

Mark Herschberg is a versatile professional who has established himself as a prominent CTO within the artificial intelligence and cybersecurity sectors. In addition to his fractional CTO work, Mark teaches professional development at MIT, is frequently invited to speak at conferences and events. He is the award-winning author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You and creator of the Brain Bump app, where content creators can repurpose highlights of their published works.

Quotes from this episode:

"The cost of filtering (information) is also becoming effectively zero."

"Conferences cannot just be about knowledge transfer. They need to be people-oriented, focusing on engaging with others and creating meaningful connections."

-Mark Herschberg
