Entertainment and Relaxation Principles
● People entertain people best.● Theme is, in the best sense of the word, an excuse to get
people to come together at a scheduled time and place.● The theme has to be good, to get people to come there the
first time.● The courtesy, activities, and logistics have to be
impeccable, to keep people willingly coming back.● When people relax, they grow (absorb new knowledge,
network)● It is possible to create the conditions for relaxation
