Corporate conferences have become cosplay for competence.

Once upon a time, conferences were where ideas were born.
Now they’re where insight goes to die.....slowly, under stage lights and sponsored coffee.

Panels of people who don’t operate discuss “execution.”
Executives talk about “transformation” but can’t articulate a single operational lever they’ve pulled.
And the “networking lounge”? It’s just a holding pen for LinkedIn posts in draft mode.

Every hashtag — #FutureOfSomething, #InnovationSummit, #NextGenLeadership, is an empty calorie.
A signal of importance, not a driver of impact.
