'Conference Addicts'

"Hello My Name Is: Conference Addict" — that's the headline for a one-page infographic in the May issue of Fast Company. The wheel, resembling an LP, showcases the "swankiest" conferences — including Davos, TED, and Sun Valley — attracting movers and shakers. Fast Company calls it the "cozy conference club." Sarcasm notwithstanding, the graphic shows how these conferences result in deals and relationships between the who's who of social media, technology, and politics. Proof again that in our high-tech, complex world, to have a meeting of the minds, well, you need to have a meeting of the minds.
