Get ready to dive into the world of Joy with a special guest Bahaa Chmait from JOYMOB. They craft unforgettable experiences that bring people together from festivals, to train rides. Their tribe works to connect audiences to brands, colleagues to each other, and guests to lasting memories.
Bahaa will give a short talk and lead us through an activity grounded in joy. After that we’ll reflect on it in small group discussions using breakout rooms.
Then, we’ll discuss the topic of conflict through an interactive exercise and compare methods of facilitating Joy and Conflict to go deeper into how facilitation shows up in these spaces.
Our goal is that you’ll have the opportunity to meet and learn from diverse professionals also passionate about these topics.
Whether you’re a beginner or an expert in workshops and facilitation; this event will provide valuable insights and opportunities for growth in leading collaborative sessions.
RSVP now to secure your spot for an evening of learning, networking, and community building.

What People are Saying
"In a world where we tend to connect digitally, it's so important to still come together, especially in a shared community where we're learning from each other and we're also affirming each other. So, coming here is worth the travel. It's worth being in the presence of others. You can't replicate that in a digital forum."
Susan Wilson-Golab
