A digital illustration of a diverse group of people standing in a circle at a conference. Each person has a translucent thought bubble above their head—some show a lightbulb (representing a want), some a question mark (representing a need), and others both. Fine glowing lines connect several bubbles, suggesting shared interests or mutual discovery. The background depicts a welcoming, modern event space with natural light, coffee tables, and whiteboards. The mood is collaborative, curious, and engaged.
Satisfying wants and needs at meetings is what I do. But there's a subtle interplay between wants and needs at my conferences that isn't obvious.
