About the Book

Our role as event professionals is to create experiences steeped in trust, where our audiences feel their participation in our event was the best use of their time and financial investment and our stakeholders see the value from investing in worthwhile events. This requires our event designs to bring out the best in human nature by making intentional decisions based on the knowledge available about our participants and their needs. Deeply understanding how human beings respond in live event environments is our new currency.

The seven intentions include developing stronger event processes, understanding how to make the most of the available technology and data including digital marketing, designing to optimize the experience through immersive, brain-friendly design, and creating sustainable, wellness-driven events.

At the end of this book, any event professional will have a deep range of new ideas and applicable tools to drive stronger, measurable results.

Lynn Stadler Randall Senior Solutions Strategist, InVision Communications

"There are a lot of crap books about events. Books that tell you how to be better at to do lists. Attendees want more. They need event strategists, not bullet list executioners. Get Tahira's new book if you want to take the red pill and see what events should really be about."

Julius Solaris Event Manager Blog

"This book is like a well designed event, your entering behavior will positively mutate, like when visiting a circus tent, after reading it."

Angeles Moreno Founder, The Creative Dots and President, MPI Spain
