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.
