Good point Harrison - my feeling is that some may have been there for
reasons other than the sponsor's specific invitation....maybe because
they thought they'd better show up rather than miss something, maybe
because they had vested, personal interests in the outcomes, maybe
because they wanted to network with the right people...and who knows what
else???<br>
....leads me to ask, what are valid reasons for showing up?<br>
If folks answer the invitation and show up, are they the right people no
matter what their personal interests/agendas might be?<br>
Mmmm - I can't presume that they're there just to make up the numbers -
there must be a reason.....<br>
And might I add, one of the co-sponsors said after the event: "now I
know who <b>I don't wish to work</b> with on this project" (lack of
passion was evident).<br>
Cheers<br>
