Zumba® International Conference – Orlando (2019)

At the Zumba International Conference in Orlando, I had the opportunity to design and lead a dynamic team-building experience for over 200 Zumba Jammers, the global creators behind Zumba’s choreography. While the conference traditionally focuses on training, performance, and business development, this session created a rare space for connection.
Through movement-based activities and interactive storytelling, participants were able to share their personal journeys, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships. Many attendees noted that, despite attending the conference for years, this was the first time they truly felt connected to their peers on a deeper level.
The impact extended beyond the session itself. Participants reported feeling heard, inspired, and more united as a team, leading to more productive collaboration throughout the rest of the conference. This experience highlighted the power of intentional engagement in transforming even well-established professional gatherings into meaningful, human-centered experiences.

PJ Library International Conference (2022)

At the PJ Library International Conference, I was invited to help set the tone for a global gathering of educators and community leaders. PJ Library brings together professionals dedicated to enriching Jewish life through books, music, and shared cultural experiences.
I led the opening icebreaker, facilitated a professional workshop, and designed an evening program focused on engagement, joy, and connection. From the very start, participants were invited into an environment that encouraged authentic interaction, collaboration, and play.
By integrating movement, storytelling, and experiential learning, the sessions helped accelerate relationship-building among attendees from diverse backgrounds and regions. Establishing this sense of connection early in the conference allowed participants to engage more openly, share best practices more freely, and build lasting professional relationships. The result was an energized, cohesive community ready to learn, grow, and collaborate.

Jewish Leadership Network – Rio de Janeiro (2025)

At the Jewish Leadership Network Rio, I worked with a diverse group of 90 professionals and lay leaders (from 14 different countries) brought together for a three-day immersive experience focused on collaboration, innovation, and inspiration. Participants from different backgrounds, cultures, and generations gathered to share ideas, develop projects, and build meaningful connections. (14 different countries)
Throughout the event, GES was invited to intervene at key moments to help shift the energy of the room, moving participants out of purely intellectual engagement and into embodied, interactive experiences. Through movement, percussion, and playful connection exercises, we created opportunities for people to meet on a human level, beyond their roles and titles.
While this approach is not typical in traditional conferences, it proved to be essential. By fostering authentic connection and engagement, participants were able to collaborate more openly, think more creatively, and fully embrace the transformative potential of the gathering.
