In this MicroCast, live from HTCIA Conference 2015 in Orlando, FL, Michael and I quickly set the stage for a conversation on conference speaker/attendee engagement. 

[Raf] One of my biggest pet peeves as a speaker is getting a room-full of people who watch (and listen) me speak, wait for me to finish, and leave when I'm done.

[Michael] As an attendee, you need to know what you "do" and what you're looking for from the conference.

We welcome the discussion on this topic, #DtSR on Twitter!
