Let's Do Lunch!

At the beginning of February when I returned from Legalweek NY (it was great to see some of our readers and Board members there), I was lamenting to a friend (who is not in the legal or marketing industry) the fact that I didn't leave myself time for lunch while scheduling meetings and attending and moderating sessions. She said, right away, "Why didn't you make them lunch meetings?" I was dumbstruck. "I…I don't know," was all that I could stammer in reply. So it struck me: Is the lunch meeting still a thing? Is it a lost art? A lost opportunity?
