What if you could walk into almost any room and make it feel more alive? Without being the loudest. Without being a performer.

​

Joymaking is the science and practice of elevating human energy and emotion: helping people laugh, connect, participate, and feel safe enough to fully express themselves. And it’s not a personality trait reserved for extroverts, entertainers, or charismatic facilitators. It’s a learnable skill.

In this highly participatory session, Jacques Martiquet—aka The Party Scientist—will turn the room into a live laboratory for human connection. You’ll experience the science of joy firsthand while learning practical frameworks you can use in meetings, workshops, conferences, classrooms, dinners, and everyday interactions.

​

Through three core Joymaking skills—Vitality, Social Intelligence, and Group Activation—you’ll discover how small shifts in your own behavior can change the emotional state of an entire room.

​

Expect movement. Expect laughter. Expect to meet people. And expect to leave with tools you can use the very same day.

​

You’ll learn how to:

• Create energy and participation without forcing it

• Help people feel safer, more open, and more expressive

• Turn awkwardness, silence, and hesitation into connection

• Bring rooms to life, even when you’re not “in charge”
