The art of meeting design has been neglected for too long, argues Mike van der Vijver, co-founder of MindMeeting.org and co-author of Into the Heart of Meetings: Basic Principles of Meeting Design, but the discipline will be crucial in proving the value of face-to-face meetings in a post-pandemic world.  Here he explains how 'default behaviour' has shaped meeting formats (4:18), why measurable objectives are crucial (6:19), the enduring myth of 'classroom teaching' as a learning tool (7:10), the power of the shared experience (10:30), how the pandemic might help meetings come of age (13:38), and why there is a biological imperative for humans to meet in person (19:23).
