What makes some events better than others? Is it the host, the setting, the purpose, or something else?
Jacques Martiquet is The Party Scientist — he’s experimented, tested, and explored the science of gathering and connecting for 10+ years — and he’s got some fantastic answers. Jacques has committed himself to the mission of spreading the health benefits of human connection. Creating more impactful events goes hand-in-hand with this.
Explore the art and science of connection and apply the best of the science to your next event. It might just transform the experience — for you and your attendees!
