The Psychologist Point of View: How to Get into the Mind of Your Delegates (and yourself)
Event Psychology is a niche area but a really exciting one!
So come join The Event Psychologist, Kelly on a mission to provide the industry with digestible research and insight that can change the way your event runs, and the way you run your event.
The session will cover psychological thinking from; Social Psychology, Positive Psychology, and Music Psychology. It will also look at how psychology can help event professionals think more deeply about their attendees, more wisely about the design and environments they provide and get a pat on the back for factors they might already be naturally incorporating in their day-to-day.
This is step one in terms of ‘How to Be an Event Organiser’, getting into the minds of one.
