Years ago I organised a stack of seminars for a big event and made it clear to all speakers the presentations were not for sales pitches. About 30 percent just flatly ignored the request. When we got the audience feedback forms, it was clear the hard sales merchants had actually harmed their reputations. Fools. I couldn’t agree more.

There is nothing worst than a conference that 'pitches' products and services at you the whole time. You feel violated and worn out. Proving ideas and useful information is a much better way of using conferences to help people. Totally agree!
