Q&A was a disaster at the WCEU 2023 closing remarks. At least two of the questions were about the same thing, one person was simply promoting themselves, and other questions were from “known faces.” With the latter, that doesn’t leave much room for newer people to speak up or bring new thoughts/perspective to the table.

With a room full of 3,000 people, the WCEU 2023 Q&A was awkward at best.

The questions definitely need to be vetted so that we don’t find ourselves in this situation again. It would also be helpful for the speaker to the know the questions ahead of time so they can offer a thoughtful response.

There’s no shortage of opportunities to discuss issues or solve problems. But certain forums require certain decorum.
