Description

We love that distributed work is here to stay, but let's be real – nothing beats being in-person when it comes to generating ideas and building relationships. Research shows there's just something about that human connection.

If you’re attending DataConnect, you already know connection matters. And events aren’t a new concept. But creating a gathering that inspires? That takes obsessing over details to make it valuable for everyone.

At CoverMyMeds, we've cracked the code on designing internal events that aren't just informative, but truly transformative experiences. From our annual Analytics Week for 300+ data practitioners to AI fluency bootcamps for executive leadership, we’ve learned how important mindfully designed events are in bringing teams together to imagine what’s next.

This session unveils our event design philosophy and best practices, covering how we:

  • Curate content that resonates with diverse audiences
  • Facilitate networking that genuinely builds connections
  • Create immersive experiences that inspire innovation
  • Drive data and AI fluency for leadership and beyond
  • Do all of this on a shoestring budget!

By intentionally bringing people together with a clear purpose, you can spark innovation, foster collaborative relationships, and cultivate a thriving culture. Whether you're launching internal forums or planning a team offsite, you'll gain insights into transforming events from PowerPoint hell to catalysts for organizational growth.
