[MR] Exciting Events (was Re: The importance of pre-reg

Duke Logan makes a very good point about cookie cutter events. Yes, autocrats and their staffs come at their events with a vision in mind . . . a dream . . . but too often that vision doesn't translate into the event.

So, tell me . . .tell us, the autocrats and event staff peoples . . . 

What would make an event worth going to? 

What makes an event same-old-same-old?

How can we improve?

What haven't you seen in an event that you'd love to? 

WHat should we never do again?

Talk to me . . . talk to us . . . help us make the events on the calendar better.
