Feedback from the participants was glowing for both presentations. Light it Up was an exciting ice breaker for the crowd and really made sure participants met everyone at their table. Interestingly, I personally had even more feedback on Livin Life Large, where people seemed to really connect with the messages of “one little thing today”, “be a little outside of your comfort zone”, and “enthusiasm is caught, not taught.

This is our second year working with Tyler Hayden, and it has been great. The energy he brings to the conference is infectious and his messages are delivered in a style that is entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time. The vendors at our conference rave about how great the “Light it Up” event works to showcase their product or company in such a fun and entertaining way. It was a pleasure to have him.
