Global Digital Summit

Experience Director

When COVID-19 sparked global social distancing, I created a multinational remote summit for the British Psychological Society (BPS) as Digital Curator.

The BPS is an established company with a new and younger generation of members. They wanted interesting and innovative professional offerings for their community of 60,000 psychologists between England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales.

THE CHALLENGE

I developed a 3-day digital member experience mixing community interaction with data collection, in partnership with The Social Kinetic design thinking firm.

As well as directing the team agenda and media assets, I designed facilitator-guided digital interpretations of BPS membership projects. I also led a team of creative data analysts in processing summit participants’ opinions into actionable change for the BPS. This storytelling experience needed content for every level of engagement - including pre-summit technology support, visual assets, video production, and a detailed production timeline.

THE OUTCOME

The summit blended informed community engagement and practical data collection.

A series of polling, word clouds, thematic labeling, and text summaries spoke to the members’ focused opinions. Final conclusions were documented in a comprehensive written report.
