Rightly so\, research shows that connecting with human emotions in memorable ways is a powerful tool to educate and create positive behaviour change for event owners and event participants. Applying a human-centric approach when designing immersive experiences can be challenging. No two humans experience or interact with the world in the same way. This creates complexity for event planners and their event stakeholders. Understanding event stakeholders and participants at a deep psychological level can be intimidating. However\, a basic knowledge of neurological triggers\, smart space and staging and technology applications\, combined with an engaged design team\, can empower the creative process. Helping event planners and event owners innovate and experiment with immersive experiences safely and with more confidence. \nIn this session\, we will explore the science\, design process and implementation of immersive experience design and dissect the forms and depths of engagement.

But\, lately that’s getting harder and harder\, isn’t it? The far-reaching consequences of mass social trauma\, stemming from incidents like shootings\, protests\, and political injustice can cast a profound shadow on any business event. Depending on the location of your event\, and the identity of your organization\, the threat is increasingly closer to home. Understanding the impacts and how to navigate them is not only essential for resilience but also for sustaining attendee participation\, meaningful connections\, and healing within and between communities in your community.
