We Built Something for the People Who Build Experiences

After years of working alongside people who build events, conferences, and shared experiences one thing is clear: they are genuinely great at creating connection for everyone else.

They study their audiences. They design for belonging. They think carefully about how a person feels when they walk in the door, find their seat, introduce themselves to a stranger. They're usually very good at it.

Then the event ends. The platform closes. And those same people go back to figuring out their own professional lives mostly on their own.

I don't mean that dramatically. There are conferences to attend, associations to join, LinkedIn groups to scroll. But in hundreds of conversations over the years, with event planners and experience designers and community managers and conference producers, something kept coming up.

That's the gap we kept seeing. And we decided to do something about it.

A while back, Nanci Meadows, Marty Choate, and I started talking seriously about what it would look like to build a real professional home for people in this industry. Not another webinar series. Not a chat group. Something that could actually hold ongoing relationships, useful conversations, and practical resources in one connected place.

Before we built anything, we listened. We talked to practitioners at different career stages, in different roles, working independently and inside organizations. We asked what they were missing. What they'd tried that hadn't worked. What a genuinely useful day looked like versus a frustrating one.

What we heard was consistent: they wanted peer connection with people who actually understood the work. Real conversations, not polished content. Resources they could use, not just inspiration. A place where what started at a conference could actually continue somewhere.

So we built LIT by Intrivium.

LIT stands for Lead. Innovate. Together.  It's a practitioner-led peer community for people who design and deliver events, conferences, and shared experiences.

It's built on the Intrivium platform, which means it's also a live proof of something we believe in. Experiences shouldn't exist as isolated moments. The conversation, the relationship, the energy from a great session or a real hallway talk. it should have somewhere to go.

Inside LIT, members can jump into ongoing peer discussions, access practical resources and frameworks, join AMA sessions and roundtables with experienced practitioners, and connect with people who genuinely get the work. There are office hours, member spotlights, and direct access to us as founders. We're not building this from a distance.

We introduced LIT with a live webinar on September 2 where Nanci, Raime, and I walked through why we built it, what it looks like, and what comes next.

And we're inviting the first cohort to join as Founding Members.

Founding Member status is open through October 31. The people who join in this window will have a hand in shaping what LIT becomes. What conversations happen, what resources get built, what events we run. That's not a marketing line. We genuinely want people in the room who care about getting this right.

Join us on September 9 or request early access now and lock in your Founding Member status before October 31.

We can't wait to build this with you.
