General Manager
Align
Pre-event engagement starts well before attendees arrive.
“Most events send me a calendar invite and a hotel confirmation. This time, something feels different from the beginning.”
Our events connect business strategy with behavioral science to create active participants. Every pre-event touchpoint is built with purpose, personalization and measurable behavior change in mind.
The hub
"Everything I need is all in one place and this interactive environment is so cool!"
Weeks before the event, I access a central digital hub with the agenda, speaker bios, logistics and travel details. My personal agenda reflects the tracks selected for my market and my growth priorities. But the real draw is Basecamp—a virtual world in the platform where I can explore content, complete pre-work modules, check the leaderboard and interact with the event before I ever leave home. It feels less like a portal and more like an experience.
Measurement and intent
From the moment attendees access the platform, measurement begins. Learning completion, engagement and sentiment are tracked against established baselines so the support that follows is as intentional as the preparation that preceded it.
Access and inclusion
Real-time interpretation, language support and accessibility tools for vision and hearing are embedded directly in the platform, ensuring every attendee can fully participate regardless of language or ability.
Pre-work
"The pre-work was easy, relevant and worth the effort. They were short modules that make an impact."
Before I arrive, I work through short learning modules covering:
Market trend shifts relevant to my business
Updated performance standards and compliance requirements
New product overviews my team will need me to convey
Progress tracking
"I love to see where I rank."
The platform tracks my progress and rewards experience points, levels and badges. Audio and video formats are easy to consume between meetings or on the go.
Personalized tracks
"Wow, my agenda feels like it was built just for me."
Before I arrive, my session track reflects my development goals and my market's performance data. Regional workshops, consumer demand seminars and targeted breakouts are already mapped to where I have room to grow. Networking windows are reserved. We all arrive prepared.
Building engagement
"I'm thinking about the event before I even open the app."
In the weeks leading up to the event, I start receiving notifications. A story about a store team that turned performance around. A customer experience that drove real loyalty. An associate who grew into a leader. The communications feel tailored to my role, my market and what I expect to experience—real reminders of what's possible when we get it right.
Ignite
Our events deliver a peak experience that sparks belief, energy and alignment.
The environment
“The moment I arrive, I know this isn’t going to be like other events.”
The room doesn't feel like a conference. Everything about the space signals that we're here to actively participate, not watch.
An enhanced registration experience sets the tone from arrival—signaling energy, intention and momentum.
Seating is intentionally designed to support engagement, comfort and visibility.
Staging and lighting guide focus without overwhelming the experience.
A welcoming host and thoughtfully curated content create a cohesive, immersive experience.
Keynote and breakout rooms reinforce focus and intent.
Opening session
"I can feel the energy in the room immediately."
The content connects to customer impact. The purpose is clear and everyone's engaging. On-screen trivia and live polls keep the energy high.
Learning and engagement
"Every session pulls me in. I'm participating in conversations that shape what we learn."
Sessions rotate between short-burst workshops with live polling, word clouds and brainstorms. When we respond to real business challenges, our answers appear on screen in real time. Everything runs through the event hub—the same platform I used to prepare now powers the experience in the room.
Digital tablets and analog whiteboards vary the participation option
AR/VR elements at vendor booths offer interactive product exploration
Gamified quizzes and game show format
Hackathons, escape room-style group workshops and challenges, QR-enabled networking and contact sharing
Immersive experience
“This is what it feels like to see the business through the customer's eyes.”
Customer journey activations highlight the knowledge-to-service connection. End-to-end customer journey replays, perspective stations and AR overlays make it real. It changes how I think about what happens in my store every day.
Breaks and connection
"The best conversations happen between sessions.”
The agenda builds in intentional breaks throughout the event. Time to process, recharge and connect. Connection cards, gratitude walls and reflection zones make the space feel personal—even with hundreds of attendees.
Network with peers
Compare notes and borrow what works
Build relationships that outlast the event
While Jordan is fully engaged in the experience, the engagement model is working in the background. Nothing is left to chance.
Session participation is tracked in real time
Engagement scores inform what happens next
Key insights feed directly into post-event support
The shift
"I came in prepared. I'm leaving convinced."
The strategy makes sense for my market. I have tools, not just slides. I've had conversations with peers who have solved the problems I'm facing. I know what I'm going back to do, and I know why it matters.
Extend
The event ends. The impact grows.
The support continues
"I left the event with a plan and the tools to execute it.
The platform has already updated by the time I return. Session recordings, key slides, FAQs and action checklists are waiting. A structured toolkit makes it easy to bring the team along right away.
Weekly huddles
Coaching conversations
Team communications
A structured post-event communications campaign controls the timing, format and content of every touchpoint. Momentum builds rather than fades in the weeks that follow.
Embed – A month later
“The learning doesn't stop when the event ends.”
Short product refreshers and customer service troubleshooting modules keep key content fresh. Microlearnings reinforce what I took away from the event in focused, manageable doses. Gamified assignments and experience points let me track my progress and stay motivated.
Evolve – Looking ahead
"I’m still connected to the people and the purpose."
Relatable impact stories keep me grounded in why the work matters. Small regional peer exchanges and virtual touchpoints keep the community active. I connect with peers who are navigating the same challenges, share what's working and stay accountable to the commitments I made during the event and the goals I'm building toward for the year ahead.
Measurement and impact
Post-event results are compared against pre-event baselines. Learning completion, sentiment shifts, product knowledge and engagement KPIs are tracked and rolled up to internal dashboards.
Inclusive reporting
Multistream language support ensures reporting reflects participation across every market and every language, so every attendee's contribution is counted.
A measurable return on every event
A year-round engagement model that gets smarter with every cycle. Participant feedback, engagement data and behavior change metrics shape what comes next. Every attendee who shows up and engages helps build a stronger program for the year ahead.
