If you speak out loud at the beginning of the meeting the chance that you are going to join the follow-up discussions increases drastically.

We're going to encourage participants to adopt a virtual-snail, they can feed their chosen pet with some β€œSnail-Po” and talk about why that particular one resonated with them.
