I know it would be hard to travel with, but considering investing in one of those big hooks to pull people off stage when they go too long at conferences

You have to make it foldable! Problem solved.

The more I think about it, the more I think a foldable hook would be great. Really useful.

It’s 2024! A good venue should have these on hand and offer them!

Tired: professional associations should have codes of conduct Wired: professional associations should have gender neutral bathrooms Inspired: professional associations should have giant hooks to remove folks from the stage

I started following you when you inadvertently gave me excellent advice on a panel I was running, and here you are, years later, still doing it. Amazing, thank you.

If you search for a swimming pool rescue hook with collapsible or telescoping/telescopic pole or handle, I think you'll find what you need. Shepherd hooks are more stylish but harder to find all the features you want.

I remember back in the 90's, at an Upside Magazine New Tech show, where start ups presented their newest thing, when they failed, they got a big GONG ending their presentation. I remember seeing TIVO at one, it did not get the gong. I loved my TIVO

I could have really used one of those a couple of months ago.
