The Kickstart Experience
With Dalene Allen
Transform attendees from passive observers into powerful connectors—before your event even begins.
Overview
Planning a conference, summit, or professional gathering? These events are full of opportunities—but most attendees miss them. Why? Because they’re not prepared to connect. They sit, they listen, they leave… with a swag bag and no new relationships.
Too often, attendees leave saying, “What a waste of time,” simply because they didn’t make the right connections or didn’t know how to.
That’s where Dalene Allen comes in. Dalene doesn’t just speak—she activates the room.
With the Kickstart Experience, she transforms passive attendees into powerful connectors. From the first interaction, she helps participants feel at ease, open up, and step confidently into conversations. Helping attendees connect with confidence, clarity, and intention.
