IAEE Master Series Certificate: Design For The Brain: Designing For Memory (Part 2)
Includes a Live Web Event on 04/16/2026 at 10:30 AM (CDT)
IAEE Master Series Certificate: Design For The Brain: Designing for Memory is designed to help event and exhibition professionals better understand how people experience events and how design decisions influence engagement, recall, and connection across live and virtual environments. The series focuses on practical, experience-driven design strategies that translate research on attention, memory, and social interaction into real-world event applications. This session is the series and will focus on Designing for Memory: Creating Events People Actually Remember. While events often deliver large volumes of information, much of it is forgotten shortly after the experience ends. This session focuses on how memory is formed and how event design can support recall of key messages, moments, and experiences. Participants will explore how session structure, storytelling, repetition, and sensory cues influence memory and learn how to design experiences that help important messages stick beyond the event itself.
Learning Objectives
1. Distinguish between engagement and long-term memory
2. Identify design elements that support retention and recall
3. Apply techniques that strengthen memory without increasing content volume
4. Build memory anchors into sessions, exhibits, and experiences Memory-anchoring micro breaks will be integrated to demonstrate retention strategies in practice.
