Your Event Isn’t Dead… It’s Just Boring at Overland Park Convention Center – Overland Park, KS

“Your Event Isn’t Dead…It’s Just Boring” is brought to you by Chris Stibbs and Trisha Brauer.

Let’s face it: the world doesn’t need another stale, awkward, soul-draining event. If your attendees are checking their watches (or their exits), it’s not because events are dead — it’s because they’re uninspired.

In this high-energy, interactive workshop, we’ll help you resuscitate your events and turn them into experiences people talk about, share, and look forward to. Whether you’re planning a 50 person fundraiser or welcoming 1500 guests, you’ll walk away with practical tools to shake things up and reimagine your event from the inside out.

We’ll guide you through:

• Event Mapping – Rethink your event structure to spark engagement at every turn
• The Do’s and Don’ts of Modern Events – From tech fails to attention spans, we’ll cover what works (and what doesn’t)
• Real-Time Collaboration – Work alongside peers to brainstorm, critique, and refine your event ideas
• Experience Design Principles – Learn how to craft moments that connect, surprise, and stick

This isn’t just theory. You’ll leave with a fresh perspective, a practical plan, and a toolkit to breathe life into your next event.

Your event isn’t dead. It just needs a little resuscitation — and we’re here to help.

Oh yeah – breakfast is included and prizes will be given!
