Curated conversations make it easier for conferencegoers to get to know one another. The National Restaurant Association’s new effort may provide food for thought for your own association. In a sea of thousands of meeting attendees, it’s still possible to feel lonely. I know, because I’ve been there. I remember attending my very first publishing conference and walking into the general session room that first morning worried about these three things: Where was I going to sit?
