SUMMARY:SPARK 2023: Immersive Event Design – CALGARY
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with MPI Calgary Greater Calgary Club\, join PCMA Canada West for SPARK 2023 – an unforgettable session with Anthony Vade\, Experience Strategy Director with Encore\, filled with inspiration\, innovation\, and immersive experiences! \nIn an increasingly distracted world\, event\, hospitality\, and tourism professionals are creating immersive experiences to earn attention\, inspire awe and deliver change-making experiences. 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. We will learn to optimize the creative process from an event strategy perspective and explore some key performance indicators event teams should consider for immersive activations. \nThis session will provide real-world case studies from award-winning\, innovative\, and disruptive immersive experiences delivered by Encore and our customers. \nThis session might interest you if you: \n\nAre you looking to discover how to elevate the experiential moments at your events and destinations?\nAre curious to learn the basics of neuroscience and why immersive experiences are powerful.\nWant to explore how to communicate with leadership to get permission to try new and innovative ideas.\nWant to have a balance of theory\, experimentation\, and real-world examples?\n\nLearner Outcomes:\n1. Understand the emotional effect of Immersive Experience Design.\n2. Discover how the community benefits from the embedding possibility in venue spaces beyond transitional meetings.\n3. Discover a scalable real-world example of immersive storytelling suited to corporate and community events. \n \nKeynote Speaker: Anthony Vade\, CED\, BA\, altMBA\nExperience Strategy Director\, Encore \nBorn and raised in Australia\, Anthony now calls Toronto\, Canada home. Proudly known as an instigator\, creator and change agent\, for over 20 years\, he has helped event stakeholders create meaningful and memorable connections with attendees. He has worked with the industry’s largest audiovisual\, event tech and event production companies. Designing and executing large-scale conferences and corporate and entertainment events in virtual\, hybrid and live scenarios. \nHe continues to push experience design boundaries as Event Experience Strategy Director at Encore. Anthony’s consultative and collaborative approach to customer engagement has resulted in thousands of successful events traversing four continents. \nDATE: Thursday\, November 9th\, 2023 \nTIME: 4:00-6:00PM \nLOCATION:\nThomsons Kitchen & Bar Event Space\nHyatt Regency Calgary \n700 Centre Street SE\, Calgary\, Alberta\, T2G 5P6 \nPRICING: Includes one drink ticket. \n\nMembers – $40\nNon-Members – $60\nStudents – $20\n\nREGISTER HERE!\nIN PARTNERSHIP WITH:

DESCRIPTION:In an era marked by exclusionary legislation and outrageous acts of violence\, your commitment to creating safe\, inclusive events has never been more critical. But\, lately that’s getting harder and harder\, isn’t it?

It is a meditation that is guided by sound rather than words. In this state\, the mind is open and uninhibited; the body can rest and heal. We shift our subtle awareness to sensory perceptions\, and how it interacts with our inner reality. The experience is highly subjective\, and it will be different for each person\, each time. There is no ‘typical attendee’. With this in mind\, we don’t assume any. \n\n\n    Sammantha for Desk Yoga \nYoga Teacher  \n\n\n            \n                    \n    \n\n    Sammantha is an artist\, performer as well as a certified yoga instructor represented by The Dance Circus(TDC). She graduated with a BA (Hons)in Dance from LASALLE College of The Arts and has been dancing professionally for 7 years with a local contemporary dance company. Her shift towards wellness and yoga stemmed from her interest in the roles bodies play and the evolution through different forms of practices. She uses her knowledge in Dance to influence the way she coaches yoga — grace\, flow & precision. \n\n\n						\n					\n				 \n    \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n    Register your interest to attend the event by filling in the form below.\n*All fields are necessary.  \n\n\n    \n                        \n                            PCMA Tribe & Thrive Singapore\n                             \n                        \n                        Name(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    First\n                                                    \n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                            Last\n                                                            \n                                                        \n                            \n                        Email(Required)Company(Required)Job Title(Required)Wellness Activities1.
