Jack Donaghy and Meeting Magazine Apr 28 2011
6 comments Latest by Sherwood
In a recent episode of 30 Rock, Jack Donaghy has dreams of making the cover of Meeting Magazine.
Jack [to Liz Lemon]: In addition, I have a huge presentation coming up — Meeting Magazine is already calling it the first great meeting of the decade.
[Later in the episode]
Jack: Lemon, I am supposed to represent NBC in a negotiation that Rex Belcher, of the American Journal of Meetings, rated ‘Four Chairs.’ Four!
Liz: I’m sorry, is there another magazine about meetings?
Guess what? There actually are multiple publications devoted to meetings. For example, Convene and Meetings & Conventions Magazine. Can’t find anything on The American Journal of Meetings though.

I you hold a ineffective meeting you should be billed for the time of all the participants. Waste 1 hour for 10 people at $35 per hour=many fewer useless meeting.

ok, that means it’s a coincidence.

To be fair, these magazines are conference/convention industry publications, not magazines dedicated to Donaghy-style “power boardroom” meetings.

@jameson: You mean you don’t already bill clients for meetings?
You should start. They’ll stop wasting your time fast when they’re paying for it.

Actual quote from Convene: “Each online issue is an exact digital copy of the print edition, with exciting added features that allow you to click on underlined areas to send an email or visit a website.”
