Previously titled "Creating Innovative Exhibit and Event Experiences"
Poorly executed themes (like those in so-called "themed restaurants") have tarnished this experience design tool as a crucial technique for creating compelling experiences. Properly understood and executed, themes play a vital role as THE organizing principle for everything being orchestrated, ensuring engagement with customers and prospects. In this session, author Jim Gilmore will share:
• Methods for conceptualizing and employing compelling themes
• A simple checklist for managing environmental and behavioral cues
• A tool for designing for all five senses
• A framework for mixing in memorabilia (versus mere giveaway tchotchkes)
