It All Starts with a Story By Scott Swenson

Scott Swenson has been bringing stories to life as a producer, director, writer, and performer for more than 30 years. His work in theme parks, consumer events, live theater, and television has provided him with a broad spectrum of experiences. Scott says, “It All Starts with a Story,” which was the name of his presentation at last year’s symposium, in which he talked about why story—not technology and performers—is the most important aspect of any experience. He explained how a strong story can guide both the artistic and operational elements of any attraction.

The above keynote was given at the 2017 Haunted Attraction Symposium, the theme for which was ‘Innovation in Interactivity.’

The 2nd Annual Leadership Symposium is July 30th, 2018, aboard the historic and haunted Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. The theme of this year’s event is “First Impressions.” Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/seasonal-attraction-leadership-symposium-2018-registration-45141589710
