Pre-Conference TSAE Lab (Sunday, 9:00 - 11:30 am)

From Trendspotting to Implementation—An Interactive Guide to Smart Event Design

Kelly Peacy, CAE, CMP, Founder & CEO

We hear a lot about experience design, but where do we start and how do we operationalize our ideas? This interactive workshop will provide you with the concepts and tools you need to take action within your association events. We’ll take a deep-dive into how to analyze and assess event trends for your respective audiences and how these trends might translate into experience design ideas. We’ll then roll up our sleeves to explore key design concepts and the toolbox you need to turn those ideas into reality. Additional registration required.

Closing Brunch Session (Tuesday, 10:00 - 11:30 am)

Everyone Has a Story

JT McCormick, President and CEO of Scribe Media

JT McCormick is a successful CEO, but that’s not where he started. He started as the son of a pimp and an orphan. JT McCormick knows what it’s like to have a story that you’re itching to tell the world. He knows how overwhelming that urge can be and how it’s all too easy to convince yourself that your story is not worth telling. More than anything, he knows that you’re wrong. Everyone has a story that could positively impact the lives of others. As a sought-after keynote speaker, he shares his story with audiences around the world. As the CEO of Scribe, he helps others do the same. Raised in the worst part of Dayton, OH, he spent his childhood bouncing from home to home, in and out of juvenile detention centers, and was even homeless for a time. He was neglected, starved, and sexually abused as a child.
