REALLY good point, and something I wonder about frequently. I used to be a freelance writer. Now I still write, but I don't get paid for it. There are other non-cash incentives to writing for free, but you can't support yourself or your kids on links, blog page views or more Twitter followers.

Hi Elizabeth-
One set of slides from the Fresh Perspectives session is available on Slideshare now (with thanks to Tom Getchius for posting it).
Once the remaining slides are available I'll get you links to those too. Thanks so much!

Thanks for all the great comments – and everyone do make sure you read the follow up to Toni's original post (that she linked here). ASAE really hit it out of the park in their response.

As a first-time attendees I stopped by the ribbon table seeking a "first-time attendee" ribbon that would alert the veterans to talk to me! The closest I could come was a "new member" ribbon which wasn't actually true but I hoped would have the same effect. Maybe a zebra-striped 1st-timer ribbon next year????

Hi Elizabeth! I'm looking into those slides and handouts for you–I checked on the Annual Meeting website but didn't see them there. Once I find them, I'll drop you a link.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share all of your feedback–it's all helpful and constructive for us to hear. I hope you're having [...]

Elizabeth,
Great thoughts. I hope ASAE and more importantly associations of all sizes are listening and taking Maddie's and your posts as constructive criticism.
Frankly, I'm tired of major organizations associations and nonprofits that censor, delete, & shutout those who disagree. And I'm not talking about ASAE even, but they've certainly brought about that sort [...]

Great post Elizabeth. I want to echo the first time attendee thing. I had a co-worker attend for the first time. She specifically looked for first-time attendee things (since we do them at our show) but didn't find anything.

Love this Elizabeth and it was fanstastic to finally meet you face-to-face.
I echo so much of what you've written. I also want to stress, bring up the house lights for all general sessions. Why do we turn down the lights? What's up with that? It makes the audience feel as if they are there [...]
