58. Wrestling Alligators – #EventProfs Do It All! with Tahira Endean

🐊 Today's podcast guest is an intentional event designer, connector, storyteller, author, and optimist with a self-described talent for wrestling alligators. Not the kind with scales and tails, though. 🌟 Tahira Endean is the current Head of Program for IMEX and the former Head of Events for SITE. With years of hands-on event management and marketing experience, Tahira delivers a fresh approach to IMEX, as the association drives innovation and provides powerful, purposeful experiences for its attendees. She’s described herself as someone who "brings creative energy to events, using ubiquitous technology and human nature to create relevance for event participants." As an intentional event designer, she seeks to create engaging environments and thoughtful, relevant experiences. 📚 Her book, Intentional Event Design, Our Professional Opportunity, offers readers two decades of perspective and experience producing events and designing environments where meaningful connections are created and nurtured, and real growth occurs organically. 🎧 Listen in as Tahira talks about topics of importance to her in the event planning world, including creating physical space at events for dialogue, innovation, and creativity in an age of digital disruption. #events #eventdesign #engagingevents #eventexperience #EventProfs
