About

What separates a good event from one attendees can't stop talking about?

Findings from Boldpush and the latest Planner Pulse research show that human connection deserves greater attention as a core element of event design. In fact, planners rank meaningful connection as a higher priority than technology, content or production. Yet few intentionally design experiences to deliver it.
Explore the latest data and discover how to translate research into practical event design decisions that create stronger engagement and better business outcomes.

Learning outcomes:

Turn the latest event industry research into practical design decisions that improve attendee engagement and business outcomes

Prioritize investments based on what planners say delivers the greatest value, from connection and production to technology and experience design

Design experiences that intentionally foster trust, networking and meaningful participation rather than leaving connection to chance
