Let’s talk about your event
Good company.
Great connections.
Make room for connection
Public conferences
You’ve booked the speakers and filled the agenda. But if attendees spend every break with the people they already know—or struggle to meet anyone new—what will bring them back?
Across the industry, only 30–35% of attendees return year over year. Give people a connection they’ll want to continue.

Plan a public conference
Company events
Everyone showed up. Yet departments still sit together, the room goes quiet, and the “fun” feels like another item on the agenda.
Bahaa creates shared experiences that help colleagues talk beyond their siloed circles and connect with the purpose of your gathering.
For company summits, all-hands, and internal conferences.

HI, I’M BAHAA.The person behind the energy
“I grew up feeling lonely. I didn’t have a community and didn’t know where I belonged. That pain became my purpose: I never want anyone to feel that way.”
Bahaa began designing public events to bring people together. He learned that being in the same room is only the beginning. People need a way into the conversation.
Today, he brings that care to conferences and teams, creating shared moments that make it easier to join in.
