Impactful Experiences: The Unexpected and the Memorable
What do we value more as a society: moments or memories?
Experiences define our lives and when we come together across cultures and communities, we’re able to grow in numerous ways. Today, with rapidly evolving technology and consumer expectations, experiences can be more diverse, integrated and convergent than ever before.
Amidst this convergence, designers are able to orchestrate full ecosystems through live engagement, digital access and physical environments to evoke curiosity and emotion while shaping indelible and unforgettable lifelong memories.
In this session, Barbara Bouza will share insights from her global journey of discovery, impossibilities and storytelling – from Disney to the world’s leading architecture firms – to help designers reimagine their approaches to experience design as they bring joy, surprise and memory to society.
Key takeaways:
- Insights from a global journey of discovery, impossibilities and storytelling
- Why connected experiences bring people together
- Consumer expectations and design
