The Art of Gathering

How We Meet and Why It Matters
Book • 2018
In 'The Art of Gathering', Priya Parker argues that many gatherings are lackluster and unproductive, but they don't have to be.

Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of various types of gatherings, Parker offers a human-centered approach to create meaningful experiences.

She explores a wide array of gatherings, including conferences, meetings, and social events, and provides practical advice on how simple changes can invigorate any group experience.

The book emphasizes the importance of knowing the purpose of a gathering, selecting the right venue, and ensuring the event is unique and effective for all attendees.
