⭐ “Josh was the shining light as he was engaging, entertaining and lifted the mood in the room.”

⭐”Amazing, amazing, amazing. I am sure I am not hearing his name the last time.”

⭐”Josh was more than a speaker/host, it was like he was part of the group!”

As you can see from the feedback above, we were delighted to welcome as keynote speaker and MC for our first ever Inspiration XL meeting last week. But how did he feel about the experience? We asked, and he answered. Read his thoughts below!
-———————————————————————————
“I like to challenge audiences by asking them ‘If your life story was a book, is it a book that YOU would love to read?’ Spending time with the incredible 27Names members I learned of a LOT of books that I would love to read! So many people living and working at the cross section between experiences and engagement, these folks understand the practice of creativity!

In my presentation I shared ‘survival tips’ from my own experiences in working on big (and a bit ridiculous) projects. Two in particular that resonated were ‘buy your own bullsh*t’- because if you don’t back your wild ideas... who will? Another was ‘do the unknown thing,’ as it is important that we dive into bringing ideas to life and not over think (equaling over complicate) the path to our goals.

I am truly grateful for all the new friends I made from this community and will now and always be an extremely proud 27Names ambassador and supporter of all the great work their agencies are bringing to the world.” - Josh Stinton

The new year started well for our members XSAGA and endorfina events. The Amsterdam-based company Top Employer's Institute organized various events worldwide in January. During these events, Top Employer's clients receive their certificates, officially certifying them as top employers.

XSAGA hosted the event for the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium in Antwerp. Meanwhile, XSAGA enlisted 27Names member endorfina events from Poland to organize the same event at the same time for guests in Warsaw. A key factor was maintaining the same look and feel in all locations.

Pieter Claassen (Production Director of XSAGA) had this to say: "Thanks to the 27Names network, we were able to quickly respond when our client asked if we had good contacts in Poland for organizing the event there. Our colleagues from endorfina took on the request and produced the event in Warsaw together with the local branch of the Top Employers Institute. The fact that within our European network we have quality and reliable partners throughout Europe has once again proven its added value.”

Congrats on a very successful collaboration!
