Learn Through Examples, Conversation, and Practice

My workshops and events are designed to be interactive rather than presentations where you simply sit and listen.

People understand and retain information in different ways. Some benefit from seeing examples, some from hearing an explanation, some from trying something themselves, and others from discussing ideas with a group.

That is why I try to incorporate multiple ways to learn and participate throughout my trainings.

Depending on the event, you may:

  • See real-world examples and visual demonstrations

  • Listen to explanations and stories that provide context

  • Participate in games, activities, or short challenges

  • Discuss examples and ideas with other participants

  • Apply what you are learning to your own digital materials

  • Ask questions as you work through a concept

The goal is not to overwhelm you with technical standards or give you another long list of rules to remember. It is to give you practical ideas you can recognize, understand, and apply in your own communication, events, and digital materials.

What Makes These Events Different?

Many of the things that affect an online experience can be difficult to recognize until you experience them yourself.

That is why my workshops go beyond telling you what you should or should not do.

You may look at an example and decide what is working well, identify something that could create confusion, experience a communication challenge from another person’s perspective, and then discuss what could be changed and why.

Rather than relying on one teaching format, activities may combine visual examples, spoken explanations, group discussion, and opportunities to practice what you are learning yourself.

You may:

  • Look at examples and identify what is working well and what could create confusion

  • Experience how wording, design, format, navigation, or missing information can affect someone differently

  • Discuss why a particular choice matters and what could be changed

  • Participate in games or short challenges that demonstrate how differently people can interpret or process information

  • Apply what you are learning to your own digital materials

  • Ask questions and learn from the experiences and perspectives of other participants

You are encouraged to think, participate, experiment, and ask questions rather than memorize a list of requirements.

Small changes can often make information clearer and online experiences easier for more people to use.

Improving Event Attendee Experience: Event X3

September 22–24, 2026

12:00 PM ET | 11:00 AM CT | 10:00 AM MT | 9:00 AM PT

A three-day interactive workshop focused on the digital materials and communication your attendees encounter before, during, and after an event.

Instead of simply reviewing a list of best practices, we will look at examples together, discuss what could affect the attendee experience, and explore practical ways to improve it.

Each 90-minute session includes examples, group discussion, and time to review one of your own digital materials so you can begin applying what you are learning immediately.

Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is for people who plan, promote, host, or support online events and want to make the attendee experience clearer and easier to navigate.

It may be especially useful for:

Event organizers and producers

Coaches, consultants, and service providers who host online programs or events

Marketing and communications professionals

Speakers, presenters, and facilitators

People who create registration pages, emails, workbooks, presentations, or other event materials

Anyone who wants practical ways to improve the digital experience before, during, and after an event

You do not need to be an accessibility specialist or have technical knowledge to participate. Bring questions, examples, or one digital material you would like to review.

Topics include the attendee experience across:

  • Promotion and registration

  • The live event

  • Post-event communication and follow-up

Free Workshops

Helping Everyone Feel Included: Simple Changes for Better Online Connection

An interactive introduction to how everyday communication choices can affect whether someone can find information, understand it, and participate.

Through examples, games, activities, and discussion, you will explore how people may interpret and experience the same information differently.

You will have opportunities to see concepts demonstrated, hear why they matter, talk through different perspectives, and participate in activities that let you experience some of the concepts for yourself.

Activities explore topics such as context, visual information, written and spoken communication, and the ways small changes can make online communication easier for more people.

Why Learn With Jenn?

I bring more than 10 years of IT experience testing websites and digital materials from a user’s perspective, along with more than 10 years of experience providing website training for end users.

That combination has given me the opportunity to see both sides of the experience: how something is expected to work and how people actually understand and use it.

Testing taught me to follow a process from beginning to end, recognize inconsistencies, identify where someone may get stuck, and look closely at how information is presented.

Training end users showed me the questions people ask, the assumptions that can create confusion, and how differently people may understand the same instructions.

It also reinforced something important: there is no single way to explain information that works equally well for everyone.

Some people understand a concept more easily when they see it. Others benefit from hearing it explained, trying it themselves, asking questions, or discussing it with someone else.

That is why I try to incorporate several ways of learning and participating into my trainings instead of relying only on slides and spoken instruction.

I also bring my lived experience with multiple disabilities. After encountering barriers I had never noticed before, I became more aware of how choices involving wording, design, format, navigation, and communication can affect someone’s ability to understand information and participate.

In my workshops, I combine my testing experience, training experience, and lived perspective to show you what these challenges can look like in everyday situations and why they matter.

You will not be expected to memorize technical standards or become an accessibility expert.

My goal is for you to leave with a better understanding of the people interacting with your digital materials, new things to notice, and practical changes you can apply to create clearer, easier, and more inclusive experiences.
