McDonald’s

Worldwide Convention

Director + Creative Strategy + Experience Design

The WWC is McDonald’s biannual all-hands conference bringing all of the organization’s owner-operators together in one place to network, collaborate, and learn. My task was to facilitate access to information and exploration.

Inspired by the world’s most walkable cities, I transformed the convention hall into a magnificent 800,000 sqft “McVillage”. Built around a sculpture-filled promenade and four picturesque plazas, the environment engaged participants with McDonald’s lore and its latest food, convenience, and restaurant design initiatives.

Specs

  • 4 Days, 800,000K sqft

  • 15,000 owner-operator attendees

Results

  • Maximized attendance for the event’s 4-day duration / eliminated the attendance drop-off that had troubled previous conventions

  • Tripled hour-by-hour engagement and the number of onsite team meetings

“A spectacular event that got us excited about key initiatives. Five stars.”
