Segway Guy

I heard a story from the Extravaganza that I need to share with you.  It’s pretty amazing. If you were there, you know that we rented a Segway for use during the “segue” moments on the main stage.  We rented from a local St. Louis company, who would bring the Segway before each general session, ...

Extravaganza: What’s In A Name

I get this question about once a year:  “Extravaganza?  Why would I go to that?  We don’t have the funds for me to go to something that is extravagant!” I thought it might be helpful to explain a bit.

Evaluate

Sincere thanks to all of you who filled out evaluations for Extravaganza 2013 this past January.  We’ve completed the process of collating the responses, writing up reports and doing analysis.  There was a ton of great data there.  The total, final, “full” report was 47 pages long  (small print..single space!)  Clearly, people care about the Network and ...

Who We Are

In the last couple of weeks of November, we did a demographic survey of our Network members.  We e-mailed our members, inviting them to take the online survey sometime over a period of two weeks.  We had a good response to the invitation.  Our response rate was 52%. There are two reasons we did the ...

Reflections on Evaluation

This past weekend, the Extravaganza team leaders met at the Hyatt in Anaheim, site of the 2013 Extravaganza, to process the evaluations from the New Orleans event, and to do the organizational planning for ’13. We spent quite a bit of time processing the evaluations, and I just wanted to share a couple of observations ...

Afterglow

Have you ever had an experience where something you were deeply invested in went really, really well, and it’s all said and done, and everything is boxed up and put away, and you sit back and sigh and you realize “hey, that was really cool…it feels really good to have been a part of that.” ...
