Dominic Damien Tan
A business strategist and founder of Twin Flame Consulting. Over a 30-year career spanning M.I.C.E., events, edu-tainment, attractions, and health & wellness, I have designed and managed diverse play ecosystems. My hands-on experience includes 20 years producing immersive children’s programming, roadshows, and enrichment programs like the Kangaroo Creek Gang, Holikids, Club Kangaroo, HeallthZone (Health Promotion Board) and Singapore Duck Tours. I have also spent 8 years directing operations at Amazonia Family Entertainment Center in Singapore. Today, I bridge commercial execution with DBA academic research, focusing on play-experience-transformation in the play economy for intergenerational engagement.
An effective play space isn’t about the newest hardware; it’s about crafting a narrative where learning, play, and purpose intertwine. Drawing from 28 combined years running massive family entertainment centers and creative children's roadshows, this session explores how foundational roots in edu-tainment inform high-level spatial design today. We will dive into the psychology of engagement, shifting the paradigm from merely entertaining children to architecting environments where self-directed, collaborative play happens naturally, while keeping parents and caregivers engaged and valued. Punchy and packed with real-world practice.
