FOR SCHOOLS, AND YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS 

The Secret to Making a One-Hour Assembly Last All Year

Here’s the truth: even the most powerful keynote will fade without follow-up. According to the Curve of Forgetting, students forget up to 80% of what they heard within 24–48 hours if they don’t engage with it again. By Day 30, most of it is gone.
