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

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.

Sleep Tight – The Pajama Program

A child’s bedtime ritual should create pleasurable memories of warmth, security and love. What could be a better sedative? Nothing beats slipping on a pair of clean PJ’s, snuggling deep into the blankets and drifting off to sleep while your caregiver reads a favourite story. Unfortunately, this scenario is not reality for many kids. Pajama Program is an initiative that is focused on creating a comforting, nurturing bedtime for children in need. It also provides literacy support by offering one-on-one reading time with an adult.

TED: Ideas Worth Spreading
TED: Ideas Worth Spreadinghttps://www.ted.com/
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment, and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.

CONVERSATIONS

  1. Do parents read to kids at bedtime anymore? I have long considered writing a series of “bedtime books”, but just wasn’t sure it was worth it. These days with all the electronics, e readers, etc., I suspect that story books are akin to the doodoo bird.
