The New Era of (Re)gathering
Companies and organizations are looking back at a year of cancelled in-person retreats, holiday parties, and Bring-Your-Kid-To-Work-Days, among many others. As we enter the next normal, how do we re-gather? How do we ease the apprehension? How can companies develop a hybrid meeting and event culture that equally engages those back in the office, and those employees permanently working from home? How can we build connection among colleagues that have never met in real life? In insightful conversations with companies and groups from across all industries, Priya Parker answers important questions on how to rethink and rebuild a post-pandemic approach to gathering.
The Art of Gathering Live Experience
For a more interactive option, Priya creates a unique gathering that asks organizations to think critically about the why behind their event. This is a highly interactive session that asks attendees to move around and interact with Priya and one another. It’s more workshop-style than keynote but it often takes the place of a traditional keynote slot in a schedule. The Live Experience is 60-minutes.
This will be an unusual happening: a live, dynamic, large-group event for attendees to experience The Art of Gathering in real time. In this highly interactive special event, Priya will design a live laboratory that demonstrates the ideas of her book and connects us to each other in new ways, while breaking down the anatomy of what actually makes for transformative gatherings. Drawing from her book, Priya will lead a group experience that demonstrates how gathering is a form of leadership, and then reverse engineer what she does to create this sense of community. The result is a dynamic, memorable, exciting experience that will give you real tools to walk away with and apply to all of the gatherings in your own work and life.
