The evolution of Meeting Formats, the rebirth of the Campfire Meeting

Long ago we had meetings around a campfire. A small group of people in a circle, listening to stories, debating, conversing, learning from each other.
Much later, in more recent ages, only the rich and powerful could talk to larger groups, armies and other audiences.
And even more recently, thanks to sound equipment, we all can afford to address a public, larger than the campfire crowd.

'Meeting effectiveness' is very much under attack today. How can we change meetings into an effective and motivating experience?

The Society of Experimental Social Psychology (SESP) is a scientific organization dedicated to the advancement of social psychology. One of the main ways that SESP furthers this goal is by holding an annual meeting in October of each year. In 2009, the SESP Conference will be held in Portland, Maine, on October 15-17.
SESP also publishes two research journals: the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology and Social Psychological and Personality Science. All SESP members receive online access to these journals as part of their annual dues.
