Hosts: David Adler, Beth Kormanik

Guest: Ruud Janssen

In this episode of GatherGeeks, David Adler, C.E.O. of BizBash, sits down with Ruud Janssen, the cofounder of the EventCanvas.org Foundation, to discuss how event design can change attendee behavior. Janssen’s new events platform uses empathy-mapping—a practice he defines as thinking like an event’s stakeholders—to lead design and help accomplish an event’s goals. Janssen also speaks about the power of events to address large pressing issues, discusses why some ideas work and others don’t, and presents a scientific methodology that can help solve event-design problems, impact R.O.I., and influence cultures.
