How it all started
How it all started
In March 2014, world leaders gathered in The Hague for the Nuclear Security Summit. Part of the packed agenda was a “focused policy debate” on the implications of a realistic terrorist threat. But how? Scenarios4 (before Scenarios4summits) took the challenge to deliver tangible results and meaningful takeaways using very intense scenarios filmed with real actors. The world leaders experienced that one session of a Scenarios4 SBPD (Scenario Based Policy Discussion) is more effective than 10 meetings.
It proved to be a key factor to the success of the NSS and marked the birth of a game-changing concept. Nowadays, the world of conferences, summits and exhinitions has changed. Trainings and learning events have been impacted as well. A new approach is needed to change the sector altogether. Still, we don’t want to compromise to create an event in a different way. No, we want to use all the new technical possibilities to upgrade to a ‘new normal’ of event experiences. So, no substitute but a better method.
