Also, on expertise, check out 10,000 Hour Theory and Unconscious Competence theory.

Do we have differing levels of expertise now? Absolutely and it is imperative that meeting organizers address these different levels. Educator Jay Cross has identified three levels of experience for adult education and the needs of each of those levels. An easy and quick solution is for event professionals to identify education sessions for various levels - novice, mature and veterans. Also, I like the term subject matter experienced versus subject matter experts. @Billy Thanks for reading and adding to the discussion Billy. I've placed that book on my reading list for this summer! @Danny

I'm wondering of we even have experts, now, with all the information at our fingertips. Do we simply have differing levels of expertise now, and we have to try the catch-all approach, or do we go in at a minimum level with the mindset that folks at meetings/events already have a decent grasp of what they're attending? What's one person's context is another's story, after all. Does that make them know less? Probably not - but there is a difference in how they approach something. Now you have my mind ticking :) Interesting questions, Jeff.
