According to neuroscience research, vast selection inhibits decisionmaking.
Cutting choices to three or four eliminates attendees' anxiety and helps them decide.
Thanks to Ron Graham of Freeman for providing this event-design tip.
NOTE: I wrote this post in 2013, not imagining that two years later I'd be employed by Freeman. Wonders never cease.
