Vibe by Design: Stop Blaming the Format

Event engagement problems are often blamed on format or platform, but the real issue is usually poor design. This session introduces the concept of an engagement arc—a structured emotional journey that can improve experiences across in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. You'll learn how to identify where your event design breaks down, replace low-impact tactics with stronger moments, and create a framework you can apply before, during, and after any event to drive better participation and connection.
