Shared Experiences are Changing Everything....
Posting, commenting, podcasting, and livestreaming are over. The most significant change to the internet in decades is the advent of the Shared Experience, spontaneous or scheduled live sessions ranging from two to tens of thousands of participants.
When successfully integrated into a business, social, or community context, Shared Experiences can create deeper connections, generate more revenue, improve effectiveness, increase conversion rates, and effect lasting transformation for individuals and organizations.
The Shared Experience Summit provides a model for designing, developing, and delivering shared experiences to boost your career, grow your practice, improve your organization, or build your book of business.
Your speakers, hosts, guests and fellow participants will be a fount of wisdom, knowledge, and inspiration. This summit promises to be a transformational experience in and of itself!
Master Shared Experiences In 3 Action-Packed Days
When the pandemic hit in March 2020 I was serving as entrepreneur in residence for a global educational non-profit that trained its community of students on-location in hotels, conference centers and retreat centers.
We rapidly moved programs from the training room to online courses and found a grateful audience. Students in quarantine and lockdown connected, shared, and learned together.
The transformations experienced by the students in shared online experiences were in many cases more profound than those from the training room. The ability of the trainer to prepare the students for the sessions, conduct the sessions, and guide the students into self-directed learning was the key differentiator between courses that simply educated and those that provided breakthrough experiences.
I founded Scoby Society to bring the transformational aspects of shared experiences into a wide variety of settings. The newly omnipresent capability of shared experience is ripe for exploration, discovery, and co-creation.
Let's create a breakthrough experience together!

Denise Denson, as EVP at Viacom, negotiated distribution deals with Comcast, Verizon and other major carriers.
Jeffrey and Denise will share their thoughts on how shared experiences will change the landscape of the corporate enterprise, collaboration, sponsorships, brand building, and entertainment.
Shared experiences promise to be disruptive in the media landscape, with audiences spending more time in conversation and participatory activities rather than passively consuming streaming media and posting on social media.
The workplace is also changing and growing more spontaneous as executives, managers, and employees rely more on shared experiences that are recorded, transcribed and processed by machine learning systems and less bound to databases, reports, memos, and messaging.

Dedicated apps and services for shared experiences such as Clubhouse and Zoom are growing rapidly while mainstream social media services like Facebook and Twitter are adding the capabilities. At the heart of all of this is machine learning, which can transcribe, analyze and mediate video conferences in real-time.
Incorporating shared experiences into consumer apps, SaaS platforms and the enterprise isn't just a technical exercise. The shift from asynchronous to real-time is a deep cultural shift that will change the very nature of our relationship with software systems and with each other.

The Shared Experience as Inclusive and Supportive for All Participants
How to Provide Transformational Experiences for Mind, Body, Heart and Soul.
Zoe Levine is a music therapist and Zumba instructor who works in the Annapolis, MD public school system.
Nicole Triplett has developed "OHMstead," a guided practice that combines Reiki, Yoga, and Krav Maga, an Israeli form of martial arts, for complete and optimal health.
By recognizing the significant and unique gifts of every participant in a shared experience and putting neurodivergence and neurodiversity as at the center, rather than the periphery, Zoe and Nicole guide shared experiences that nourish and sustain each participant as a whole person.
Unlike social media communications through chat messages, images, and videos, expertly guided shared experiences that include multi-party audio and video can include the neurological keys to increasing empathy and reducing detachment and emotional indifference.
