In a recent LinkedIn post, Dan Gingiss, CSP, shared his experience speaking in a novel “silent disco” format at the MDRT Edge event in Austin. This innovative presentation style involved three concurrent speakers in the same room, with audience members selecting their preferred speaker via adjustable headsets, and then rotating seats to hear from others.
Gingiss described the experience as highly engaging and enjoyable. He noted:
“What an incredible experience to speak in a “silent disco” format at MDRT Edge in Austin! Three stages, three concurrent speakers in the same room, and audience members choose using an adjustable headset. Then everyone switches seats and we do it again. So fun!”
The Power of Experiential Learning
The silent disco format, as experienced by Gingiss, offers a unique approach to content delivery, emphasizing audience choice and active engagement. This method directly contrasts with traditional lecture formats, fostering a more dynamic learning environment. Gingiss’s enthusiasm for this format underscores its potential for capturing audience attention and delivering impactful messages.
Networking and Collaboration Among Speakers
Beyond the innovative presentation format, Gingiss also highlighted the collaborative aspect of the event, expressing his pleasure in sharing the stage with other notable speakers. He specifically mentioned:
“Plus it’s always so great to hang with and see other amazing speakers perform; this time I was thrilled to be with Sara Ross, Josh Linkner, Rachel DeAlto, CSP, JD and Alan Stein, Jr. – four all-stars!”
This camaraderie among speakers suggests a supportive and high-caliber environment fostered by the MDRT Edge event, where thought leaders can connect and inspire one another.
Spreading the Message of Customer Experience
Gingiss’s participation in the event was centered around his expertise in customer experience. He expressed gratitude to the organizers for the opportunity to share his insights, stating:
“Thanks to MDRT for putting your trust in me and allowing me to spread the word on becoming WISE to the power of client experience!”
As Gingiss, CSP notes, the core mission was to educate attendees on the critical importance of customer experience, framing it as a key element for business success. His involvement signifies a continued dedication to advancing the understanding and implementation of superior client experiences within the business community.
