Course overview
We all know events can be dull, boring, and un-engaging. You've sat through talking head panels or zoned out during conferences that just aren't cutting it. It’s time to reimagine what a true dynamic learning experience can be.
In this highly experiential four-week course and design sprint, you will learn how to design both in-person and virtual experiences to strategically deliver content, maximize impact and help participants feel connected and engaged. Developed through years of iteration with clients like Google, Nike, Genentech, Slack, SAP and the University of Texas - this model works!
We will work with the Dramatic Arc Event Template, a scalable and repeatable framework for transformational learning experiences. It will accelerate your event design process, shaving years off of trial and error, and giving you the confidence to deliver an outstanding experience every time.
You will apply the frameworks to a real event you are creating or re-designing, to bring the Template to life and help the learning stick. Plus, we'll help you get the work done so that after our 4-week design sprint, you will have completed a high-level outline of your whole event, and you'll be ready to hit the ground running!
In our new remote/hybrid work landscape, engagement and retention are more important that ever. Don't leave your teams or clients bored and unengaged. Our methodology allows you to design experiences to quickly create a riveted, engaged, and connected audience—say goodbye to boring!
