One of the biggest barriers to productivity is inefficient meetings. To stop wasting time, draining energy, and losing ideas, we should audit our meetings: (1) Could this be an email? (2) Does it need to be this long? (3) What would make it a better use of our time? tedtalks.social/WLAdam

We received a new record of submissions from the APAC region for #IxD24. Last year, 11.2% of total submissions were from the Asia-Pacific. This year we registered an impressive 32.1% from the region, and more than a third were non-Australian. #RevisitReframeRegenerate
