INTRODUCING....
"RePurpose - LIVE" with Ian Tyson
A brand new kind of keynote presentation from Ian Tyson, is heading your way. Utilizing a new software, "RePurpose - LIVE!" puts your audience in charge of the content of the keynote. After an opening and introducing this concept, the audience votes in real time as what stories Ian will tell next, creating a "Choose Your Own Adventure" Keynote. Ian has no idea what's going to happen, or which combination of stories from across his career will be called upon! Let's remember the power of our own choices and create something new together and live on stage. In fall of 2024 "RePurpose - LIVE!" is coming to a stage near you!
