What Everybody Wants to Know About Great Summer Camp Alumni RelationsTravis Allison
Follow our simple formula reach out to your camp alumni and make them feel like their contributions mattered. By helping this pool of your biggest fans understand that they will always be remembered and always welcome, you will both benefit in countless ways. Tom and Travis' camp alumni programs have raised millions of dollars, have created a boon of eager volunteers and have helped camps powerfully expand their marketing impact.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learn to utilize one of the greatest assets we have in the camp business: our alumni.
- You will understand why this is so important, and how you can take the first steps to optimizing your alumni relations.
- Learn how to build an alumni relations program that will add value to your program and increase your bottom line.
Going from "camp..." to "Oh, Wow, THAT CAMP!"
Some summer camps are still practitioners of the old campfire tradition: telling great stories.
I find that that skill set is diminishing. When I go to visit camps in the summer I rarely see that awesome moment of kids leaning forward in anticipation while a leader holds them in wrap attention with tales of adventure or of heroes overcoming great odds.
We're missing something very important.
That storytelling skill will be the one thing that we can do to fight the malaise of our industry: camp is dying.
In this keynote address, I will be talking about ways to tell the amazing stories of the transformation power of camp and showing some cool examples from the world of summer camp (and beyond!)
Together we can save camp!

21 RULES to Rock Your Next Pitch or SXSW SessionStan Phelps
Here's the problem: According to most studies, the number one fear for people is public speaking. Number two is death. In the words of Jerry Seinfeld, "This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy."
Here's the truth: No one is born a natural at public speaking. It scares the living daylights out of everyone. Mark Twain perhaps put it best, "There are two types of speakers in this world: those that are nervous and those that are liars.”
Here's the solution: It takes discipline and practice to channel your nerves. This deck will provide guidelines to help you on that journey. 21 rules of thumb by the numbers. Simple and understandable rules of the road that you can immediately use to become a better presenter. Whether you are making a business pitch or getting ready to rock your next SXSW session, these rules will help sharpen your saw. Because nothing in life is more important than the ability to communicate.

E proprio questi sono gli argomenti che vedremo insieme nel dettaglio.

The lack of visible female role models is pervasive in the tech industry, particularly on Wikipedia, where just under 17% of Wikipedia biographies were on women. That's why HubSpot wrote fourteen Wikipedia entries for remarkable women in tech to help inspire young women to reach positions at the highest levels of STEM.

Designers Are From Mars, Engineers Are From VenusMotivate Design
There was Cain and Abel. The Hatfields and the McCoys. The Red Sox and the Yankees. The tale of supposed incompatible people is a tale as old as time. In the modern world of business and commerce, the common issue of creative designers and development engineers struggling to see eye-to-eye is a problem that can grind projects and businesses to a halt.
The reality is that both groups need each other so why can't they just get along? Jack Cole, Director of Design, will serve as session mediator, walking you through his experiences in finding pathways to commonality that allow for growth, discovery, and innovative solutions.
Key Takeaways:
• A better understanding of how to communicate effectively with team members of all disciplines
• Learning best practices that will help facilitate more project collaboration
• Further debunking the myth of left-brain and right-brain thinkers
Transcript from NYCDA & MotivateDesign U/X Lecture Series July 20, 2015 "Designers Are From Mars, Engineers Are From Venus" Jack Cole - Design Director
Getting company buy-in to execute a new idea that moves an employer in a new or nontraditional direction but with a big potential upside can be tricky. Hear insights from a business consultant in techniques of persuasion to learn how to best structure your proposal, counter the naysayers and see your idea through to fruition.
Mona Patel is the founder and CEO of Motivate Design, a user experience and design agency. In her book "Reframe: Shift the Way You Work, Innovate, and Think" she helps people tap into their creativity to reframe problems as opportunities for success.
The What If Technique presented by Motivate DesignMotivate Design
Why "What If"...?
The What If Technique tackles the challenge of engaging a creative, disruptive mindset when it comes to design thinking and crafting innovative user experiences.
Thinking disruptively is a disruptive thing to do, which means it's a very hard thing to do, especially when you add in risk-averse business leaders and company cultures, who hold on tight to psychological blocks, corporate lore, and excuse personas that stifle creativity and possibilities (see www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for more details).
The What If Technique offers key steps, tools and examples to help you achieve incremental changes that promote disruptive thinking, overcome barriers to creativity, and lead to big, innovative differences for business leaders, companies, and ultimately user experiences and products.
Let's find out what's what together! Explore your "What Ifs" with us. See www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for details about the What If Technique, studio workshops, the book, case studies and more downloads--including a the sample chapter "Corporate Lore and Blocks to Creativity"
