Conferences & Events
From kickoff to close
I partner with event professionals to create conferences where attendees actually connect, presentations actually land, and the energy in the room is something people talk about long after they leave.
From the opening welcome to the final goodbye, every moment is an opportunity. Let’s make sure you’re maximizing them.
Conferences and meetings represent a significant investment of time, money, energy and focus.
The agenda is planned. The speakers are booked. The venue is set.
But the moments that matter most - the connections, the conversations, the ideas that actually stick - rarely happen by accident.
There’s an opportunity to design for them intentionally. And that’s exactly what my Work the Room framework does.
Connect with
Each Other
Networking that works
- structured, intentional and
introvert-approved
Connect with
Your Audience
Presentations that land
- from the stage, the boardroom,
and everywhere in between
Connect with
New Ideas
Learning that sticks
- training and facilitation designed
for real retention and application
Connection doesn’t happen by accident.
You have to work the room.

Ways I can Help
Whether you need one specific service or a full conference partner, here’s what I bring to your event.
Conference Emceeing
Warm, energetic, and always prepared. I hold the room from kickoff to close, keep the energy high between sessions, and make sure your audience feels welcomed and engaged throughout.
Structured NEtworking
Networking works better with a little structure. I design and facilitate intentional, introvert-approved connection experiences that give attendees a reason to talk, a way to find common ground, and something to remember.
Exhibitor Prep RAlly
Give your exhibitors a competitive edge. Before the exhibit hall opens, I energize and prepare them with practical tips to make the most of every conversation at their booth.
The Engagers
Some conferences have an emcee. Some have a DJ. Yours gets both, working together like they were made for it.
Lauren and DJ Jeff have collaborated on dozens of events together. That history means no awkward handoffs or learning curve on your conference day. Just two professionals who know exactly how to read a room together and keep it energized.
As a dynamic duo, we bring walk-up songs that make speakers feel like rockstars, strategic energy resets between sessions, and seamless integration with your existing A/V setup. Add music bingo, themed playlist experiences, or custom audience engagement moments to take it even further.
Introvert-Approved Connection Activities
Not everyone works the room naturally. I design activities that meet attendees where they are and make connection feel easy, fun, and low pressure for every personality type.
It’s As Easy as 1-2-3
1. tell me about your event
Share your goals, your audience, and what you’re hoping attendees walk away with. The contact form is the best place to start.

Based on your agenda and goals, I’ll recommend the right mix of services and we’ll design an experience that fits your event perfectly.
