Conferences & Meetings
Conferences are complex. The experience should feel cohesive.
Industry and association conferences come with high expectations. Content is strong. Speakers are prepared. Agendas are full. Yet without intentional engagement, energy drops, networking feels uneven, and sessions can start to feel disconnected from one another.
I partner with conference teams to support the human experience of the event so attendees stay engaged, oriented, and connected from the opening session through the final day.
Conference support can take many forms, from a single signature experience to a multi-day engagement partnership.

Conference Engagement Partnership
Multi-Day | Strategically Scoped
This partnership is designed for conferences and large meetings where consistency, continuity, and connection across days matter just as much as individual sessions.
Rather than focusing on a single moment, I work across the agenda to:
Maintain energy as the days progress
Support meaningful attendee connection and networking
Help sessions feel connected rather than siloed
Create a sense of flow from one session to the next
My role is to enhance the experience around your content, not compete with it.
Best for:
Internal summits
Sales kickoffs
Company-wide multi-day meetings
Industry and association conferences
Ideal outcome:
A cohesive, energized conference experience where attendees feel connected, engaged, and confident navigating the event from start to finish.
Signature Conference Experiences
For industry and association conferences, planners often come to me looking for specific, proven experiences that help attendees connect, stay engaged, and feel energized throughout the event. These are the signature conference experiences I am most often brought in to deliver.
Speed Networking with a Twist
Purposeful connection that actually works
A structured, professionally facilitated networking experience designed to help attendees meet quickly and comfortably without awkward small talk. This experience removes the guesswork from networking and replaces it with momentum, structure, and purpose.
Attendees leave having met multiple meaningful contacts and feeling more confident navigating the rest of the conference.
Best for:
Opening sessions
Dedicated networking blocks
Attendee connection moments

The Engagers (Lauren ansley and DJ Jeff)
Music-driven energy, flow and connection
This option is ideal when the success of the meeting depends on how the day feels as a whole, not just what happens in one session.
Engagement is thoughtfully integrated throughout the agenda to support transitions, maintain focus, and help people stay present and connected from start to finish. Rather than adding noise or extra activities, this approach protects energy and flow so your content can land.
The conference feels cohesive, energized, and well-paced from session to session.
Best for:
Main-stage hosting
Session transitions
Receptions and evening events

How these
Experiences
Work Together
These experiences can stand alone or be thoughtfully woven into a broader conference engagement partnership. Recommendations are made based on your goals, audience, and agenda so the experience feels cohesive rather than pieced together.
Many of these experiences can be delivered as breakout sessions or agenda-friendly blocks and are scoped based on your conference flow, audience size, and goals.
