Turn Conversations

Into Connections

We help conferences, retreats and events elevate their experiences
by creating meaningful relationships for their attendees.

Jan has a gift for making people feel instantly comfortable and at home. I have taken several workshops led by Jan and his facilitation, tools and personality all set the stage for incredible connections.

Jan is an incredible facilitator and makes it easy to get to know one another in a whole new way.
The group at our retreat bonded on a much deeper level than I ever could have imagined.

This is not what I expected from attending a TEDx event, but it was definitely my favourite part. I didn't want to leave!

TEDx Toronto Delegate

Jan did a great job of breaking the ice for us. Because of his deep questions, I got to know those people better than anyone else I met through the rest of the week.

Most Conventional Conferences Follow A Very Boring Formula:

  • Coffee + Muffins for Breakfast
  • Thanking the Sponsors
  • Opening Keynote Speaker
  • Another Presentation
  • Short Lunch Break
  • Another Presentation
  • Maybe a Panel Discussion
  • The Closing Keynote

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO TO MAKE YOUR CONFERENCE STAND OUT AND BE MEMORABLE?

Take a moment and visualize what the experience could be like for your attendees if you invested in engineering moments of serendipity that allow people to connect…

IMMEDIATELY FEEL LIKE YOU BELONG

What if the moment attendees arrive at registration they feel like they’ve found THEIR people?

SKIP THE AWKWARD SMALLTALK

What if instead of standing around awkwardly at networking breaks attendees had meaningful conversations that lead to long-lasting relationships.

MAKE NEW PROFESSIONAL FRIENDSHIPS

What if attendees connected with each other first on a personal level and then later found out they are also a valuable business connection?

IT FEELS MORE LIKE SUMMER CAMP

What if instead of being at a boring, business conference it feels like you’re just hanging out with new friends?

LEAVE INSPIRED AND SUPPORTED

What if attendees left inspired with new ideas and thoughts, plus a community of like-minded people that will support them to accomplish their goals?

EXPERIENCE A HANGOVER AFTERWARDS

What if attendees leave the conference on such an energetic high that returning to their “default” life gives them a hangover?

#1 INTERACTIVE KEYNOTE

Invite me to speak at your event and share resources and tips on how to build rapport with strangers, get beyond small talk and create meaningful connections.

This is a very interactive talk where 50% of the time is dedicated to the audience connecting with each other. When you take action and apply your knowledge right away the retention increases drastically.

#2 FACILITATED WORKSHOPS

We love facilitating conversations and connections as early as possible at a conference, because that is when most people feel awkward and don’t know how to start connecting with each other.

Hire us to facilitate interactive sessions that gets everyone’s energy up and connect with the people around them. This could be from as little as 15 minutes at the beginning of your event, as a break-out session in between heavier content or right before a break where attendees can continue to connect.

#3 ACTIVATIONS

Sometimes all that people need is an invitation to talk to a stranger.

We can setup different activations that will help your attendees connect while waiting in line for registration, coffee or during the lunch break.

#4 EXPERIENCE DESIGN CONSULTING

Let’s book some time where we’ll come up with activities and ideas to help make your event so memorable that you’ll sell out tickets for next year on day 1.

I reached out to Jan to really help me get a better and more focused way of connecting with my attendees for the conference that I run in Vancouver.

Jan was able to provide me with an abundance of ideas that really fired me up after our call and I cannot wait implement them.

In fact I’ve already implemented a few and I’m excited to continue to take action over the forthcoming weeks in the run-up to the conference.
