Billions of dollars are spent on events every year, yet, for most organizers, it’s difficult to answer: “How was the event?” With today’s attention economy being filled with social media alerts, overstimulating digital content, and mega entertainment, many event organizers struggle to create experiences that keep attendees engaged, leaving them bored, uninspired, unchanged, and sometimes even critical.

Leaning into his broad experience with corporations, as well as non-profits, Phil Mershon demonstrates how many planners spend too much time and money on the wrong parts of an event — the bells and whistles that wow for a moment, but rarely create a lasting impact. Unforgettable illustrates to event organizers and thought leaders the recipe to make their events stand out, creating the lasting transformation they desire. Revealing the five threats — and remedies — that frequently derail the impact of events, Mershon emphasizes the importance of creating opportunities for memorable and meaningful moments to produce experiences that keep attendees talking about the event for months and years to come.

“Phil Mershon is the master of creating memorable experiences. Unforgettable shares the secret recipe to turning a mundane event into a moment that can last a lifetime. This is the future of business and the blueprint of what it takes to stand out in today’s noisy world.”
 —Jesse Cole, owner of the Savannah Bananas
