When I think about my own experiences at conferences, the ones that really stick out to me are the ones which involved truly memorable experiences. And for a few of those, such experiences involved some crazy moments and encounters that I will never forget. (At one nonprofit conference I attended, Britney Spears made a surprise appearance – which, when you’re a gay man working in a traditionally mundane field, is a wholly unexpected and preposterous occurrence). We put out an open call for some of the craziest conference experiences that other people have had, and we’ve managed to hone it down to the 6 stories below:
The Helicopter Ride
A Private Show from the Girl on Fire
A Fighter’s Golden Voice
A Gamer’s Dream
Two U.S. Presidents and a Wedding
Monkey Pic or It Didn’t Happen
Bonus: The One with the Llamas
