<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=red face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>Proceedings in my experience have two major
values. They are a powerful symbol of the group’s accomplishment.
Everybody starts in open space (nothing) and at the end of (whatever) time –
there is a “book” which the group did itself. Sounds a little hokey,
but in every situation I have been witness to – folks just love to get
their books. Occasionally turns into a sort of “College Yearbook” affair
with people signing each other’s books. The second value is totally
practical. This is a record of who talked about what – which is just
great if you want to follow up on something later on. A networker’s bonanza.
And of course – if it is all (also) online – then the conversation
can continue well beyond the original time, space, and people. Are Proceedings
always useful? Maybe not in very small, short gatherings. But I always do them
if possible. And besides it keeps our image clean. Which refers to a comment a
colleague made once – “</span></font><font color=red face=Arial><span

1500, the only challenge (true for all sizes of groups) is about
logistics. With the right team helping put on the event, there’s
not a shift to ‘harder’, just more things to think about and secure
during the pre-work/prep/organizing time. And if there’s
documentation during the event, availability of technology or wallspace or
whatever to co-create and distribute (during or soon after the event) the Book
of Proceedings.</span></font></p>
