Playcamp: A Global, Community-Driven Conference Series

I conceived, launched and led the global unconference program Playcamp, as a marketing vehicle to build Conteneo's global community of collaboration architects. I developed a conference kit, which included a website, branding, and conference-organizer's guide (including logistics and marketing templates). I also recruited and advised regional organizers, creating a scalable, adaptable workflow to manage and launch 11 Playcamps in 10 cities in the first year.

Event Activation: Silver Sponsorship

The Every Voice Engaged Foundation was a silver sponsor for the Agile 2015 conference. As a nonprofit focused on helping communities solve complex problems through collaborative civic engagement, we wanted our booth and sponsorship program to reflect our values.

Instead of focusing on an individual organization, we created a community collaboration booth, spotlighting 13 of the organizations we have worked with on civic engagement projects. The low-cost booth design was inspired by Lucy's Psychiatric booth from the Peanut's Cartoon. To drive interest during the event (and after), we conducted onsite, on-air interviews with our booth partners about the mission of Every Voice Engaged and how they were supporting it's initiatives. The project also included a keynote from our executive director, online engagement before the event through a 24-hour day of online forums on civic engagement using Conteneo's Idea Engine platform, and digital and social marketing efforts.
