A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

An Unforgettable Fireside Chat – with Melissa Hughes

Our ongoing series of Studio 360° “fireside chats” brings you face-to-face with some of the most intriguing human beings on the planet. We get to the essence of who they are and what matters most with our probing, unrehearsed questions coupled with the same from our Studio audience. Which brings us to our recent chat with Melissa Hughes.

Melissa is a neuroscience geek, keynote speaker, and author. Her latest book, Happier Hour with Einstein: Another Round explores fascinating research about how the brain works and how to make it work better for greater happiness, well-being, and success. Having worked with learners from the classroom to the boardroom, she incorporates brain-based research, humor, and practical strategies to illuminate the powerful forces that influence how we think, learn, communicate, and collaborate. Through a practical application of neuroscience in our everyday lives, Melissa shares productive ways to harness the skills, innovation, and creativity within each of us in order to contribute the intellectual capital that empowers organizations to succeed with social, financial, and cultural health. Grab a large coffee, sit back, and enjoy our enlightening one-hour chat with Melissa.
