Designing for Belonging

In today's fast-paced world, the need for meaningful connections and a sense of belonging has never been more critical. Attendees no longer want to attend events just for the sake of it; they seek experiences where their time is justified, and there are opportunities for genuine connections.

The Designing for Belonging Toolkit is a comprehensive guide for event designers who want to create productive and impactful experiences. Building on the Guiding Principles for Experience Design report, this newly launched toolkit incorporates insights from a year of global activations and workshops, offering real-life applications and best practices to ensure every attendee feels valued, accepted, and connected.

By starting small and integrating one tool or principle at a time, event designers can work towards creating events where belonging is at the core.
