SUMMARY:Creating Impactful Experiences: How Story\, Technology and Place Can Turn Moments into Memories
DESCRIPTION:What do we value more as a society: moments or memories?\nExperiences define our lives. They shape how we connect across cultures and communities\, how we grow\, and how we remember the people\, places and ideas that move us. Today\, as technology and consumer expectations evolve\, experiences can be more diverse\, integrated and convergent than ever before. \nAmid this convergence\, designers have the opportunity to orchestrate full ecosystems through live engagement\, digital access and physical environments — evoking curiosity and emotion while shaping indelible\, unforgettable memories. \nIn this Campfire\, Barbara Bouza\, FAIA\, NOMA\, IIDA — CannonDesign’s Executive Director of Market Strategies & Growth – Live\, Work\, Play and former President of Walt Disney Imagineering — will share insights from her global journey through discovery\, impossibilities and storytelling. Her career has consistently fused story\, technology and design to create memorable\, immersive destinations across the globe\, including her work leading the team behind Disney’s theme parks\, resorts\, cruise ships and immersive entertainment experiences. \nDrawing on her experience at Disney and with some of the world’s leading architecture and design firms\, Barbara will explore how designers can reimagine their approach to experience design — creating connected experiences that bring people together\, respond to changing expectations\, and leave space for joy\, surprise and wonder to unfold. \nKey takeaways\n\nInsights from a global journey of discovery\, impossibilities and storytelling\nHow connected experiences bring people together across cultures and communities\nWhy consumer expectations are reshaping the future of experience design\nHow story\, technology and physical environments can create lasting memories\n\nAbout Barbara Bouza\nBarbara Bouza is CannonDesign’s Executive Director of Market Strategies & Growth – Live\, Work\, Play and the former President of Walt Disney Imagineering.
