The Energy Drain
Contradictorily, a passive break can make people more tired. Sitting and absorbing information is hard work. Without a energising change of pace, attendees droop. They come back for the next session feeling lethargic, not refreshed. A good conference break should recharge the room. It needs to switch gears, engaging a different part of the brain through something playful and interactive. The goal is to bring people back in with a buzz, ready to concentrate again.
