What's a Connection Kickoff?
A Connection Kickoff prioritizes human connection before the other stuff happens, so that the rest of the conference is a raging success! It’s a high energy, fast moving experience that goes beyond networking and gives them the conversations that make memories! From handshakes to hugs, watch your crowd become an unbeatable tribe.

You run that awesome conference, and we'll weave human connection into everything you're already doing.
What exactly do you get?
Let's Inspire Them First
Unlike forced networking sessions, this authentic human experience lets them connect on life's most meaningful topics. It's the stuff they really want to talk about, but never get the chance. These "bonding breakthroughs" will add ten brand connections to every audience member's tribe before the end of the event! That’s 1000 connections for every 100 people! Guaranteed!
Some conferences want to make sure their senior people get some face time. We get it, and have a powerful solution. Depending on your agenda, you can give them a bonus experience of having one of your top brass come on stage to have their own meaningful conversation and showing what authentic leadership looks like.
Before we throw them into those life changing conversations, let's hype them up to the power of human connection, so even the introverts want to jump right in! Led by world renowned keynote speaker, Stuart Knight, this hilarious and engaging talk introduces your group to the evidence based benefits of building those personal bonds they are soon about to have with each other.

Beyond The Titles
Magically Moving
Starting a meaningful conversation with a stranger isn't easy, but don't worry, we have decades of experience in sparking those exact kinds of rare connections. That's why we love it when our audience says, "I can't believe how many new people I met, and how real our discussions were!"
Connection 'Till The End
After the initial kickoff ends, we're just beginning! Whether it's during the upcoming meals together, cocktail receptions or natural breaks throughout your event, we convert those uneventful experiences into moments to be remembered. By leaving you with multiple short video vignettes to be played during the rest of the conference, we keep the energy up and ensure the connection continues!
Backed by science. Built with bravery.
What's the time commitment?
We've worked with conferences all around the world, and fully understand that agendas are tight. That's why we don't add time to the schedule, but rather infuse meaningful human connection into what you're already doing. Let's talk, and we'll walk you through it.

How does a Connection Kickoff tie into our theme?
No matter what theme your conference is focussing on, it will seamlessly blend into your Connection Kickoff. And let's not forget that buy-in to your theme will be that much bigger when your people are authentically united.
