Virtual Event Emcee

Piero Procaccini (Creative Lead) has been working with the Second City for nearly two decades in a variety of capacities – instructor, performer, director, writer, and facilitator.  Currently, he is part of a core team of designers working to transition our live in-person offerings to the virtual space. In his role at SCW, he has collaborated with clients whose areas of focus run the gamut from Finance, to Manufacturing, to Consulting, to Pharmaceuticals, to Education.  Prior to his work with Second City, he received his undergraduate degree in Biology and Neuroscience from Amherst College and spent 7 years as a Research Technologist at Northwestern University. Piero loves using the low-stakes environment of improvisation to explore tools that are useful towards better communication and collaboration when the stakes become high.

Featured Presentation: The Four Essentials to Event Planner Success

Lain Hensley has spent a lifetime exploring the human experience and looking inward and outward for answers.  After beating cancer seven years ago and almost 30 years traveling the world, delivering to countless groups at all levels, he has definitely learned a thing or two about people and getting the most from each moment.  Huffington Post, Entrepreneur Magazine, The Guardian, Fox Business, Tedx, and Successful Meetings Magazine are just a few media sources helping to share his methodology to the world.  Lain will share with us his four keys to engaging participants in the virtual platform and how his company, Odyssey Teams Inc. is breaking the mold yet again.  Lain says he is “On the cutting edge of common sense”  and is happy to share stories about how he and his team are thriving in these challenging times.  Fun, uplifting, personal, and relevant to the challenges we are all facing as we dive into 2021.  Expect to be moved, inspired, and educated by an industry leader and humble beginner.
