Fascinated by the “how” and, most importantly, the “why” behind unforgettable live events that have the power to change lives, Enrico Gallorini has dedicated his life to decoding the profound impact that in-person experiences at large human gatherings have on individuals, society, and the world at large.  

His most significant finding is the unique ability that only live events have to inspire and drive human evolution. Through his research, he has uncovered remarkable and enduring patterns dating back to the very origins of humanity; insights that remain relevant today and will become even more vital in the future. 

Described as a forward thinker with a rare intellect and a distinguished expert in the events industry, Enrico is a Strategic Researcher specialising in Visitor Experiences and the Author of the book: “In-Person: A Journey Through the Unstoppable Evolution of Events”. He has captivated audiences across 20 countries, delivering keynote speeches at prestigious universities and international conferences, where he explores the transformative power of in-person events. 

As the Co-Founder and CEO of GRS Research and Strategy (www.grsnet.it), a cutting-edge boutique multinational research firm headquartered in Venice, Italy, Enrico brings a unique blend of business intelligence, creativity, positivity and passion to the Human-to-Human industry. 

• Enrico Gallorini considers events and meets a part of human cultural and social evolution, with their primal roots dating back to as early as the dawn of human civilisation, when gathering around a fire to tell stories was a part of teaching survival. 
• Events have a built-in ritualistic component, driven by the knowledge that they occur in temporal patterns, and participants are aware of a calendar when they shall all meet for a certain event at a certain location. 
• Another important pillar of events is that they are spiritual in nature, where the spirit of communion makes us all greater than what we are in our physical bodies. This is driven not by organisers or exhibitors, but by the industry as a whole. The objective of stakeholders should be to co-create value in the spirit of communion.
