The Conference Experience
This is not your typical business conference! Yes, you’ll learn practical
new skills and tools. But they won’t be crammed into your head with
no chance to absorb them. The Pegasus Conference provides ample time
between sessions to feed your need for peer-to-peer sharing. You’ll
meet people from every sector of business and society, bringing you
fresh new ideas about how to create value and improve results in
your own work. We’ve called upon some skilled co-creators to help
you build bridges from ideas to action.
Weaving and Music
For
more than twenty-five years, Gary Malkin has been composing
and producing award-winning music to enhance media and events—including
international conferences. His countless soundtracks for film, television,
and radio use the emotional language of music to deepen the impact
of visual or audio content to create multi-dimensional experiences
greater than the sum of their parts. In his work with keynote speakers,
he has learned how music can significantly increase the retention
and impact of conference presentations. And Gary's contribution goes
beyond his musical gifts; his keen sensitivity to collective consciousness
makes him a powerful facilitator for shared learning. We are happy
to welcome him as our weaver for 2009. Gary will also offer an experiential
presentation/performance on Tuesday evening.

Graphic Facilitation
Diana
Arsenian specializes in designing, facilitating, and documenting meetings
through the use of graphic recording. Using a combination of images and
text, she captures and synthesizes the essence of a presentation or conversation
as it unfolds, weaving the information into large visual narratives.
The resulting maps invite multiple approaches to learning and create
an environment that encourages collaboration, allowing everyone to
contribute their best thinking to the group.
As she has learned in over 16 years of working internationally
and cross-culturally with Fortune 500 companies, major non-profits,
foundations, universities, and government agencies, visual facilitation
ensures greater comprehension and shared understanding in group learning
processes.
