In this brief segment, the speaker emphasizes that conference organizers should prioritize presenters who are credentialed practitioners actively engaged in current practice, rather than speakers who repeatedly recycle outdated material. He criticizes the presence of tactics from the early 2000s being presented in 2024, labeling such content a "nonstarter," and stresses the value of speakers who live the work they discuss every day, viewing this as a unique opportunity for meaningful conferences.

I know that's one of the things that's very important to the committees that put these conferences on is getting people that aren't just up there performing and saying the same thing time after time, but people that are credentialed, that are keeping up with the latest things. Because as you and I know, you go to some of these things and sometimes you're in 2024 hearing tactics that were talked about back in the early 2000s. And it's just a nonstarter for me. I want people that are living what we're doing every single day. And I think that's a unique opportunity.
