After a year since its launch, I've just completed an update to the #EventPsychologyLab course. More valuable content, incl on #onlineevents, added; more fascinating research and case studies shared. Take advantage of brain science insights for your events - enroll now 👌👉
#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!
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.
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.

"Insightful."
"Inspiring."
"Highly recommend."
This is what the first graduates of the #EventPsychology Certificate Program say about the course.
📣Next date: August 27, 2024.
Someone has just finished teaching the first ever #EventPsychology certification programme powered by @MPI
Huge congrats to the newly emerged Event Psychology Strategists!
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?
When we meet, we share a single heart - and I mean it.

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?
#EventPsychology
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.

I once went 150 meters underground, did you know that? 😀

Good habits for #eventprofs.
#1💡 Look after your physical health.
Why: Mind and body are inextricably linked. #neuroscience
Benefit: ⬇️
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.

When I met Sofia the Robot, I asked her one question right away: "What's the meaning of life?"
That’s probably the only situation where a deep conversation starter feels right when meeting someone new 😁
With humans, it feels weird, so we end up talking about the weather etc⬇️
Which also feels weird and inauthentic.
A vicious loop that makes #networking daunting & stressful. But here’s the thing.
🧠 Studies show people actually crave deep conversations. We keep thinking we won't enjoy them, but then we do.
So where do we #eventprofs start? ⬇️
