I have just noticed that generally people hate sitting in the front 3 rows in small room conferences, I'm just wondering why... ;) Are they scared that they will have to answer a question? Or are they concerned that they may want to leave half way through? Or is there some other random reason... comments on how to resolve this issue are welcome...
The odd thing is the bigger conference rooms seem to be full even in the front rows, and on the conferences with the really well known speakers they seem to fill from the front...
