Organizing Conferences Pillows

Public Meetings: 'If you check the guide it's clear that you only need to say 'chair'.'

"So the plan is to fly everyone for free. But we'll charge $400.00 per bag."

'I have a plan 'B' but that's also dependent on a working projector bulb.'

"Why can't the rest of you be more like Rollins, here? He does his homework!"

'I've learned a lot about myself at these meetings...like, I can fall asleep with my eyes open!'

Inclusive speech

"Nervous about this morning's presentation?"

The interested bystanders.

'Complete sentences?? Jeez, how verbose can you get?'

"I love these off-site business meetings."

'Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure my little talk has made you all think'

"I don't think the guy with the business-card cannon has ever been to an actual networking event,"

"Now this chart should clear up any confusion you have with the report."

'Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking...'

"We serve danishes because that's just how I roll!"

I've been looking forward to this the whole year: It can get lonely out there...

'Time management seminar. Start: five-ish.'

"Tia Carmen, if you had a bucket list, what would you put in it?"

'Is that a suspicious package in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?'

'And in conclusion.'

'Yeah, you have lips like Mick Jagger ... ok, back to the teleconference.'

Is that one of those wafer thin computers?

'Let me present today's speaker.'

'You think he overheard my last lecture on tax code revision?'
