Nick Bonora, CED, CMM (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholasbonora/) Director Purdue University Conferences & Experiential Event Architect loves a good story. Stories are all around us. You see them in the faces of people you meet, the restaurants you go to, the grocery store, even the mundane tasks in your day have a story. We are surrounded by stories. The story is what he looks for in the events he designs and delivers. I focus on the story; the message that needs to be communicated. Then he find the tools to deliver the story that will have the greatest impact on the intended audience. Because a story is just words unless someone is listening; and it’s only noise unless they understand.
