Expedia Group's Explore 19 Conference
Explore 19 is Expedia Group's annual partner conference. It brings together partners from all around the world. Attendees including air suppliers, hoteliers, and destination marketers all gathering in Las Vegas.
The tools we build for the Expedia Group brands also support several third parties. Jay Fluegel our VP was invited to showcase our communication technology. We wanted the presentation to excite the travel industry with our communication vision.

The Problem
How do you visualize your team's current capabilities and vision for the future?
A supporting workshop would highlight our first third party partner Chase. As we brainstormed the presentations for the conference I suggested leveraging video.
Jay and I began by collaboratively creating a script using Dropbox Paper. My manager connected me with a member of our training team with experience in video and we were ready to film. For the videos my roles included directing, casting, writing, and interface design.
The Approach
In addition to the videos I worked with our team's presenters to refine their presentations. A set of illustrations were chosen to diagram out the many communication scenarios. These illustrations were also leveraged for banners and t-shirts used at the event.
Jay spoke while these videos played so we didn't add audio and the slower pacing was to allow for commentary during the live presentation.
