Register for the Holiday Showcase here. \n\nEducation Sessions\nThursday\, December 4 | 8:15-9:15 a.m. |  Beyond the Booth: Designing for Change Through Neuroscience and Cognitive Insights  \nThis hands-on workshop dives into the “why” behind attendee behavior\, focusing on the neuroscience and cognitive insights that drive engagement\, memory\, and decision-making. We’ll explore how to design exhibition experiences that align with how people actually think\, feel\, and connect. Participants will move from “why” to “how” by translating core human needs (like safety\, connection\, and curiosity) into actionable design principles. Working in groups\, attendees will tackle common exhibition challenges\, applying these principles to brainstorm small\, testable design experiments. Walk away with a new framework for designing human-centered exhibitions that foster change\, spark curiosity\, and create lasting impact. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to:\n1. Decode the “Why”: Understand how core psychological drivers (attention\, memory\, emotion\, safety) shape attendee behavior and their resistance or openness to change.\n2. Translate Insights to Principles: Connect core cognitive and human needs into practical design principles for exhibitions (e.g.\, “Design for Psychological Safety\,” “Design for Discovery”).\n3. Apply Insights to Design: Use this framework to brainstorm and design small\, human-centered “experiments” to solve common exhibition-floor challenges.\n4. Foster Human-Centered Change: Re-frame “experience design” as an ongoing process of aligning attendee needs with exhibition goals. \nSPEAKER:\nAnthony Vade\nChief Innovation Officer and Co-founder\nSTRATEGY TABLE PATHWAYS Inc. \n  \nThursday\, December 4 | 9:30 -10:30 a.m. | Pathways to the C-Suite: Lessons from Events Industry Leaders \nWhat does it take to rise to the top in today’s dynamic business events industry?
