#nudgestock first thing in the morning today, and it keeps me glued to my screen as I'm catching a few last sessions live.

It's just brilliant.

Also - we need a US-based edition of Nudgestock!

They're making decisions about your event based on whether or not they feel it's going to be worth their time first of all.

To cheer for this year #Nudgestock's featured topic, I'm posting some thoughts on the psychology of time for #eventprofs.

While I don't urge events do the same [right away 😉 ], I do urge every event organizer to remember that what they are actually asking people for in return for a ticket is not $$$, but something much more valuable - their time.

"Insightful."
"Inspiring."
"Highly recommend."

📣Next date: August 27, 2024.

Our industry seems to have a hard time getting rid of the word "packed".

Instead of 'jam-packed agenda' there's now 'action-packed agenda'.

Will we see times when slowing down and non-packed are trending?

Good habits for #eventprofs

#3 💡Audit your working routine. It's often the small things that add up to overall overwhelm.

For example:
Do you have a padding between your daily calls?
Do you take 1 big break or several tiny breaks? What do you do during it?

Fun fact:

Research says the happiest people spend 25% less time alone and engage in 70% more conversations.

The more conversational event formats we implement, the happier people are likely to be.

#2💡Nurture your social connections. It's not about numbers, though.

Having QUALITY social connections makes people happy and results in better performance, less stress, and more satisfaction with their life.

The more you focus on your physical needs (ex: drinking enough water while traveling or attending a big event like #IMEX), the better your cognitive performance & emotional state will be.

You'll have more fun and gain more from it.
