How do these events shape industry standards?

Events shape standards through: direct communication from standard-setters, consensus building among practitioners, and informal alignment on emerging practices. **M3AAWG** conferences particularly influence technical standards.

Mechanisms: **MBP** announcements at conferences set expectations, panel discussions reveal enforcement priorities, practitioner consensus on best practices becomes industry norm, and working groups formed at events develop guidelines.

Attending matters because: you learn standards as they emerge rather than after, relationships with **MBP** representatives help during issues, and participation in discussions shapes outcomes. Passive observers follow standards; participants help create them.
