“The Importance of Empathy in Event User Experience Design” from Northstar Meetings Group explores how planners can use empathy and journey mapping to design more thoughtful, engaging experiences. Here are some of our key observations from the article:

Start with Attendee Personas
Define who your attendees are, including their needs, goals, and expectations.
Takeaway: Clear personas help you design with intention instead of assumption.

Map the Full Event Journey
Look at every touchpoint from registration to post-event follow-up.
Takeaway: Small moments shape the overall experience more than you think.

Identify Friction Points
Pay attention to where attendees feel confused, overwhelmed, or disengaged.
Takeaway: Fixing friction improves satisfaction without adding complexity.

Design for Emotional Experience
Consider how attendees feel at each stage, not just what they do.
Takeaway: Thoughtful design creates connection and lasting impact.
